Hello, Leslie,
Ooh! A special makeover in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique adjacent to
Sleeping Beauty Castle helps make a day at the Disneyland Resort even more practically perfect in every way. Our daughter’s experience with the Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices is a treasured memory for our family, especially for her mom and dad! I’m sure both you and your little princess will enjoy the experience very much too.
All of the standard packages at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at the Disneyland Resort include a garment of some form, starting from a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique-themed T-shirt all the way up to a deluxe Disney princess gown or even a signature Disney princess gown, subject to availability. Since a new outfit of some form or another is expected with every package anyway, there should not be any issue with your princess bringing her own dress to don in the boutique’s changing rooms.
Tony’s Tip: As a budget-minded parent who still wants to provide as magical an experience as possible for my children, I do my best to guide and direct them toward choices that are less likely to break the bank. Depending on the time of day of your appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and your tolerance for carrying around changes of outfits all day, you may consider having your daughter wear her dress to Disneyland. If she’s already excitedly dressed for her royal treatment, I suspect she’d be less tempted to request a package upgrade when you are asked to choose options at check-in for your appointment.
Tony’s Tip Times Two: The Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices are learning powerful magic. But sometimes it can help to do a little advanced preparation. Our daughter's hair is beautiful but also very thick. So we found that making sure it is freshly brushed before a visit to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique helped the experience to be a little smoother and easier on the scalp. It’s also best to have clean nails free of any previous nail polish.
I hope you and your daughter have a most magical time at the Disneyland Resort, Leslie. If you’ve got any more questions we can help answer, we’d love you to send them our way here at planDisney.
