    We are planning a Disney vacation during the week of my child’s third birthday. If we did Magic Kingdom after their birthday would they be able to get a bibbidi bobbidi boutique appointment if they are still considered free entry into the park?

    Hello Jessica! Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like a little Mouseketeer will be celebrating their birthday at the Most Magical Place on Earth! 

    A magical makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a great way to turn a year older! You are correct that Guests wishing to visit Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique must be at least three years old. The great news is that once your little one turns three, they can certainly visit the Fairy Godmother and her apprentices! Reservations for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique can be made 60 days before your vacation arrival date. This is an incredibly popular experience at Magic Kingdom, so be sure to circle your magical 60-day mark on your calendar and make reservations right away!

    Jessica, I’m glad you came to planDisney, as I see one clarification is needed. While the littlest Guests, ages two and under, do not need a ticket to visit the Disney Parks, any Guest ages three and over must have a theme park admission ticket, even if they turn three during their visit. There is a misconception that Guests arriving at age two “remain age two” even if they turn three during their visit. Sadly, that is not the case. So, if a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique transformation is a priority for your little one, then a Magic Kingdom theme park ticket for your three-year-old would be necessary. 

    Because your little one will be celebrating a birthday, be sure to request a complimentary birthday celebration button! These are available from Guest Relations in any of the Disney Parks and at your resort hotel! Consider the button a birthday gift from Mickey!

    Dreams do come true!
