Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo to you, Lindsay, and welcome to
planDisney!
Your July visit to the
Happiest Place on Earth is almost here, time to get excited! Now, to start making some pixie-dusted plans! Unfortunately, the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at the Disneyland Resort hasn’t reopened for royal transformations just yet. However, we recently heard the news
that the Boutique will be offering makeovers again later this year, we just don’t know exactly when. So, I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog so you don’t miss this exciting announcement when it happens!
While we await this news, I am happy to report that the Boutique is currently open for shopping, offering an assortment of costumes, accessories, and souvenirs fit for red-carpet royalty! So, even if the Boutique isn’t offering makeovers by your July visit, you can still embark on a princess-inspired shopping spree. Plus, you can also ask a Fairy Godmother-in-training or a Coachman at the shop for a sprinkling of pixie dust – it’s the perfect dose of magic for your Disney day!
Now, for your second question about Ariel’s Grotto. Ariel’s Grotto actually closed back in January of 2018, and reopened in the newly re-imagined
Pixar Pier as
Lamplight Lounge in June of 2018. While Ariel’s Grotto was a Character dining experience with Disney Princesses, Lamplight Lounge is a restaurant that celebrates the creativity and inspiration of the artists that bring Pixar tales to life.
However, there is another Character Dining experience that’s perfect for the prince or princess in your life! It’s called
Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures, and you can find it at the beautiful Napa Rose, located inside
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, which is adjacent to Disney California Adventure Park. This unique experience includes an unforgettable 3-course breakfast, along with special encounters with favorite Disney Princesses.
I hope this information helps with your princess plans, Lindsay! Please stop back with any additional questions… we’re all EARs!
Wishing you magic,
Kristin
