It's a magical day to see you, Suzanne! Welcome to planDisney! You're planning a day that sounds straight out of a fairytale, and I couldn't be more excited for you and your little princess. I know how important it is to get your timing just right, so let's wave our magic wands and get your plans sorted out!
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is one of those classic Walt Disney World experiences that you really never forget. Even my decidedly
not girly daughter LOVED the royal treatment she received there! As you already know, it can be pretty tough to snag a spot for this popular
Enchanting Extra. So first of all, congratulations on scoring that hard-to-get reservation!
Suzanne, an appointment at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, which could make things a little tight with your reservation at
Cinderella's Royal Table. I know this isn't what you were hoping to hear, but I do have a few suggestions that might help.
First, keep an eye on your
My Disney Experience app for cancellations at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Guests are constantly changing their plans, and you never know when a more convenient time might become available! If you wind up keeping your current reservation, be sure to arrive a little early and speak with a Disney Cast Member. Let them know you're on a tight schedule, and they'll do their best to work their magic within your timeframe. Of course, there's no guarantee they'll be able to expedite your visit, but in my experience, Cast Members are always happy to help when they're able.
Finally, remember that Cinderella's Royal Table isn't your only option for a regal post-makeover meal! While there's certainly something special about dining inside a castle, you could consider opting for another princess-focused character meal, like
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT or
1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. My family LOVES
Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White, over at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. With twinkling lights overhead, you'll meet Snow White, Dopey, and Grumpy, along with the Evil Queen (just say NO if she offers you an apple!). Perfectly on-theme and full of magical touches, the food here is some of the best and most interesting you'll find on Walt Disney World property.
I hope this helps, Suzanne, and that your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is bibbidi bobbidi BEAUTIFUL! If you have any other planning questions, you know
where to find me right here at planDisney.
Pixie dust and princesses,
