Welcome, Megan! We are so happy you stopped by planDisney with your question. A royal transformation at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will bring some extra special magic to your prince or princess. These are the kind of memories you and your Mouseketeers will never forget!
Timing for when reservations open up for Enchanted Extras and
dining reservations can feel like a spin in Mad Hatter's tea cup! While the timing is not set in stone, I can give you some general guidelines. I know from personal experience and from chatting with my
fellow panelists that 6 a.m. PST seems to be the best time to start checking for openings. You might want to log in a few minutes ahead of that to get yourself ready to go. If the date doesn't open up at that time, continue to keep checking throughout the day. While reservations can open up as early as 60 days in advance, there have been instances where this has been delayed and they have opened up unexpectedly further into the window. The good news here is that if the date is unavailable for you, it's unavailable for everyone, so Guests aren't booking appointments without you! The challenging news is that you will have to continue to check and refresh if you find this to be the situation. With all that said, I'm sending along a bit of pixie dust so that the reservation-making goes smoothly!
My best piece of advice when dealing with royalty is to have your prince or princess take a look at the
package options ahead of time. This helps with the decision-making on the day as it can be a lot to choose from with all those dresses and costumes to browse through ... and it has helped me when it comes to budgeting for our trip. There have been times when we have done the full Castle Package head-to-toe transformation, and there have been others where we just wanted a mini Bibbidi Bobbidi experience. In this case, we brought our own dress from home, and my daughter enjoyed the Carriage Package which included a hairstyle, make-up, and a sash and cinch sack! She felt every bit the princess in both instances!
Megan, be sure to say hello to Fairy Godmother's Apprentices for me! They are just as enchanted as the experience itself. If you have any more questions, please come back to see us here at
planDisney.
Never stop dreaming!
