    Hello, we have an 8:10 am reservation at the BBB in Disneyland. Should we wait in line for gates to open at its normal operating schedule to make our appointment or is there an option to enter for early morning reservations? Thank you!

    Hello, Lydia,

    Ooh! I love this plan. You and your dear Mouseketeer are going to have the most magical time imaginable. By booking your early-morning appointment with one of the Fairy Godmother's Apprentices at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at the Disneyland Resort, you've allowed yourselves to enjoy that special makeover for the remainder of the day. Your child will feel like royalty, which I imagine will likely become a core memory to treasure.

    I recommend arriving at the entrance to Disneyland park about 35-45 minutes before the scheduled 8:00 AM park opening on the day of your appointment and using the regular park entry gates available to all Guests. Usually, Cast Members will start allowing Guests to enter the Main Street, U.S.A. area of the park around 25-30 minutes before the scheduled park opening. Even if the lines at the entry gates seem long at first, they will move quickly and you'll be walking down Main Street before you know it, with plenty of time to make it to your appointment.

    Another thing I like about your planned itinerary is that you can remain focused on the anticipation of your experience at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique without having to be concerned just yet about any other aspects of your visit for the day. While other Guests anxiously line up for the so-called "rope drop" at the entrances to the various lands of the park, you can savor the moment. For those precious, magical minutes, you and your little one can relax and dream of updos and special outfits. If you'd like, perhaps you can browse the shops that may very well be open a bit early or maybe even grab a hot beverage and pastry at the Market House, which is normally scheduled to open 30 minutes before park opening. When the clock strikes 8:00 AM and other Guests gleefully advance to their first destinations of the day, you can take your time and stroll over the drawbridge to Sleeping Beauty Castle and gracefully enter the boutique with plenty of time to spare before your appointment. Perhaps, you'll even have a few minutes to spare for a Disney PhotoPass picture in front of the castle to use for a before-and-after comparison of the makeover experience.

    I'm thrilled you will be enjoying this special experience soon, Lydia. More than ever, your time at the Bibbid Bobbidi Boutique will help you discover why the Disneyland Resort is known as The Happiest Place on Earth!

    Have a mágica time, Lydia!
