Hi Susan! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by!
Believe me when I tell you, between
Harmony Barber Shop and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, many Guests are highly anticipating the return of these special experiences. As Walt Disney World is known for the theme parks, attractions, and dining, there are many other reasons that make your visit as memorable as they always are. To be able to watch your grandson get his first haircut in style on Main Street, U.S.A., I can’t think of a better memory to have to commemorate his first trip! As a father of two young daughters, I’m envisioning a similar experience at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique with them!
While Walt Disney World has not released any information about a reopening date, I’m hopeful that we will have some news to share shortly. Recently, Disney Cruise Line announced that Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will be coming to the Disney Wish this summer when this newest ship is set to debut. While this is extremely exciting for all Guests who plan to set sail, it’s equally exciting for Guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. It may indicate that the Barber Shop and Boutiques on land will be making a comeback as well.
Susan, I hope some pixie dust or Disney magic comes your way and Harmony Barber Shop is open in time for your visit. If it is not, there are still many magical experiences to share with your grandson on his first trip. Meet and greets are returning next week and will be available just in time for your visit. For the past two years, Guests have not been able to hug and interact closely with their favorite characters. Now he’ll be able to run up to Mickey Mouse and give him the biggest high-five or visit Olaf to get one of his famous warm hugs.
My greatest memory of my first visit with my daughters was watching the joy on their faces during the
Festival of Fantasy Parade. With the parade recently returning, he'll be able to see it for the first time! It's a joyous event and countless Disney characters participate in it. I highly recommend making this a priority during your visit!
I hope you have a magical time, Susan!
See ya real soon!
