Welcome to planDisney, Cleve!
Wow, what a magical evening you have planned with a special appointment at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park followed by dinner at
Cinderella’s Royal Table! Your little prince or princess will surely remember this happily ever after experience for a long time. I love thinking through the logistics to ensure my park day goes smoothly, so I am happy to help reassure you of your plans.
Yes, I think this timing is practically perfect in every way and you will have a stress-free evening together! Both the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and Cinderella’s Royal Table are located inside the iconic
Cinderella Castle in the middle of
Magic Kingdom Park. Their entrances are right next to each other, so you won’t have any transportation time to consider after your stunning transformation to get to dinner before you turn into a pumpkin.
I spoke with a friendly Cast Member to confirm my instinct, and he confirmed that the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointments can take from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the package selected. Since you mentioned you purchased the Carriage or a Knight package, you can plan for closer to 20-30 minutes. Please know that each experience is unique for the child so that no one is rushed. You may check into the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique about five minutes before your appointment time.
I suggest you visit the host team at Cinderella’s Royal Table just before your appointment and let them know of your neighboring plans. This way, they have that indicated in your reservation and can accommodate any unexpected circumstances. I think this timing is ideal, but I’m an over-communicator so letting the team know can’t hurt. You are able to check into your dining reservation as the time approaches and since you’re nearby, you should be able to do so on the
My Disney Experience App without concern. These two steps will ensure everything goes smoothly for your family.
I hope this eases your mind and helps you focus on the special experience together during this magical transformation! You’ll likely have time for a few photos together outside of Cinderella Castle before your dinner, too. These years of our children being little go by so fast, Cleve! I know you’ll savor this wonderful evening, and your child will also hold these memories close as the years go on. YOU are the magic for planning and prioritizing such a special time together.
