Hi Robin, welcome to planDisney!
I like your Walt Disney World vacation-planning style. I understand your goal is to secure a coveted reservation for
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park. You're doing excellent research and familiarizing yourself with the online reservation process; I'm happy to add some facts and personal insights I think you'll find helpful.
I was in your glass slippers just a few months ago, preparing to make an appointment for my daughter at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park. As you mentioned, reservations for this
Enchanting Extras Collection experience can be made online 60 days in advance. What you may not know is that a new day of reservations opens at midnight. To maximize your chance of getting a reservation, I highly recommend breaking Fairy Godmother's curfew just this once and being logged into your My Disney Experience account when the clock strikes midnight.
Another important piece of information to consider, Robin, is that Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel can book for their entire length of stay (up to 10 days) 60 days before their check-in date. This is a tremendous advantage that explains how dates can be fully booked at midnight 60 days in advance. When making my daughter's reservation, I was eligible for the Disney Resort hotel perk and noticed that the first two days of our stay were unavailable. Availability opened up later in the week. If you happen to be staying at a Disney Resort hotel, make sure your hotel reservation is
linked to your My Disney Experience account and try booking a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointment at the end of your stay.
If you are unable to make a reservation for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park 60 days in advance, Robin, please know you've done nothing wrong and that there's more than one way to get to the proverbial ball. Should you need a Plan B, an internet search for magical makeovers in the Orlando area showcases a variety of options for young princesses and knights. The idea of a magical transformation taking place in your hotel room sounds especially convenient and pairs well with a
Capture Your Moment photo shoot in front of Cinderella Castle. There's also a chance availability for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will open up closer to your arrival as Guests are constantly reimagining their park days.
I'm no Fairy Godmother's Apprentice, but I'm sending loads of pixie dust your way, Robin. Please don't hesitate to contact me
directly with any other trip-planning questions.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
