Hiya Chad - welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you plan your very own, very magical, Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
Disney is all about magic, and what's more magical than being transformed into royalty for the day?! Everyone is so thrilled that the beloved
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is reopening at
Magic Kingdom Park in just a couple of short weeks! Finally, the little Princesses and Knights will be able to enjoy all that the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration has to offer while truly looking the part!
Makeovers are now available to book up to 60 days in advance. To say this experience is a popular one would be an extreme understatement, and I know many Guests have had difficulty finding an available reservation despite them only opening yesterday. To give you an idea of how important the experience is, I know families who have rescheduled their vacations multiple times over the past two years waiting for their child to be able to have this experience. That being said, just like anything else at Walt Disney World Resort, other Guests' plans change all the time, and when a reservation is canceled, it is then made available for other Guests to book. My advice is to keep checking, often.
I'm not sure where you saw that the Boutique is only open on the weekends, but it is scheduled to reopen daily at Magic Kingdom Park. When I just tried to make a reservation myself, the calendar was acting a bit odd, so what you're describing may be a temporary technology glitch. For example, on one attempt several weekends were grayed out, and then on another attempt, they were not. A date being gray on the booking calendar typically means that an experience is not offered, so there might be something going on right now. You can always
call and speak to a Cast Member to try and obtain a reservation. They won't have access to different availability, but if there are some technical problems, they may be able to help.
Chad, I sincerely hope you're able to secure a spot for your Mouseketeer(s) to have this unique experience. While unlikely, there could always be same-day appointments available due to late cancelations, so if you aren't successful in getting a reservation, it doesn't hurt to check in with the Cast Members at the Boutique!
