Jambo, John.
Welcome to planDisney! Boy oh boy, your vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just around the corner. I bet you can’t wait to see the look on your son’s face as he takes in all the magic for the first time. What wonderful memories you will make together!
The
Harmony Barber Shop is a cut above the rest and the perfect place for your little Mouseketeer to get his first haircut. I wish I could say it will reopen in time to make your dream a reality, but a reopening date for Harmony Barber Shop has yet to be announced. I am hopeful it will open sooner than later, so keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the
Walt Disney World Resort website for updates. You may not be able to get your son’s first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop, but let me suggest a few must-dos for your little one’s first trip that you can do instead.
- Over in Magic Kingdom Park, stop by Box Office Gifts inside Town Square Theater on Main Street, U.S.A. to purchase your son’s first pair of Mickey Ears and have them embroider his name on the back. These ears can be a special keepsake of his first trip.
- While you're at Town Square Theater, take your son to meet and get his first photo with Mickey Mouse. That's definitely one memory you will want to look back on later!
- Book a Character Dining experience so he can meet even more of his favorite Disney pals. Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort has Mickey and some of his best pals. At Garden Grill Restaurant in EPCOT, he can meet Mickey, Pluto, and Chip ‘n’ Dale.
- Let him have his first taste of a classic park treat, the Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar.
- “it’s a small world” in Magic Kingdom Park and Harmonious at EPCOT are sure to be a mesmerizing visual treat that will put a smile on his face.
Even if Harmony Barber Shop remains closed during your trip, there are so many alternate ways to make your Mouseketeer’s first trip as memorable as possible. Watching him take in the sights and sounds for the first time is sure to be a highlight of your life. If you think of other questions leading up to your vacation, please don’t hesitate to stop by
planDisney again. We’re all EARs and happy to help!
See ya real soon,
