Hi Tasmin and welcome to planDisney!
It's not long now until you arrive at
Disneyland Paris - how exciting! My family have visited many times during the months of January and February and always find that crowds are very manageable during this time of year - just make sure that you wrap up warm.
I cannot think of a more special experience for your daughter to have for her 3rd birthday than
My Royal Dream! My 7-year old daughter had a fairytale makeover here last May and it was such a special experience for both her and us, as parents.
As you no doubt realise, My Royal Dream is extremely popular and the reason why you are having difficulty in making a reservation for your daughter's 3rd birthday trip is because it is possible for guests staying at a
Disneyland Paris hotel to book My Royal Dream as soon as they have made a hotel booking and linked this in the
Disneyland Paris App.
I, myself, have a Disneyland Paris hotel booking for November 2025 and am able to make reservations for My Royal Dream right now.
Don't give up hope just yet though!
My best advice would be to keep checking for availability every day from now until your arrival at Disneyland Paris. Cancellations do happen and often at short notice as other guests begin to firm up their plans.
Should you have no luck securing a reservation before you arrive, head to the Royal Collection Boutique in the
Disneyland Hotel to enquire if they have any slots available during your trip.
Finally, if all else fails, I have an alternative plan for you! Princess-themed face-painting is available at
Sir Mickey's Boutique in Fantasyland at Disneyland Park. The style is very similar to that offered at My Royal Dream. I would suggest dressing your daughter in her favourite princess dress, styling her hair yourself and taking her to have her face painted before visiting the Disneyland Hotel where you will be able to get some lovely photos of her in all her regal beauty.
The Disneyland Hotel lobby, staircases and corridors are all great backdrops. There are even some big throne-like chairs which she could sit in and if you time it right, you might even see a Disney Princess or catch La Troupe Royale show.
I'm keeping everything crossed that you manage to snag a reservation for your little princess to have her very own fairytale transformation during your visit.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
