Hi Clare,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I took my boys to
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique earlier this year, and it was such a magical experience. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the experience, since I mostly hear about the Princess makeovers. My sons chose the Knight package and loved the special attention they received during and after their makeovers!
Enchanting Extras can typically be booked starting at 6:00 AM Eastern, 60 days in advance. However, there are reports that Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique can sometimes be available earlier. The Walt Disney World reservation system operates on the same time zone as Walt Disney World Resort, which is the Eastern time zone. Feel free to double-check my calculations, but I believe 12:00 AM Eastern is 5:00 AM in the UK. I think that means the time difference may work in your favor, as you might have an easier time waking up at 5:00 AM than someone who has to wake up at midnight!
One important thing to note, however, is that Guests from the UK cannot book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique through the UK version of the Walt Disney World website. My fellow panelist,
Emma, recommends using the chat feature in the My Disney Experience app to have a Cast Member assist with making the reservation. In that case, you’ll have to wait until available chat hours to book.
Your 60-day booking window is opening soon, so I hope you’re able to get the Enchanting Extras you want! If you have any more questions, come back and see us again at
planDisney!
