Welcome, Chloe, to planDisney! I'm so excited to help you figure out the ins and outs of a magical transformation, blessed by the Fairy Godmother herself. Think of me as your guide to Neverland, here to sprinkle a little pixie dust and help you soar straight toward the magic.
Currently, our friends in the U.K. and Ireland cannot book experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection, which includes
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, before they leave for their vacation. Once you land in the U.S. and have access to the U.S. version of the site, you will be able to search for availability there and on the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Think of this as your "second star to the right" moment, when booking becomes part of the adventure.
Now, I have a few tips and tricks to score those reservations when its time. As Peter Pan would say, "Away we go!"
- Check for availability once you have access to the U.S. version of the site. Do not wait until you physically arrive at the resort.
- As long as your theme park ticket allows it, be flexible with when and what time you book the experience.
- If you do not see availability right away, keep checking back throughout your vacation. Some people choose to cancel their reservations up to 24 hours before it takes place, as that aligns with the current cancellation deadline.
- If these suggestions still don't work, do not give up. Arrive at Magic Kingdom Park right when it opens, and instead of rushing to the popular attractions like most other guests, go straight to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to ask if they have any day-of reservations available. While not a guarantee, it does happen, and it never hurts to ask.
It's also good to remember that there are plenty of other royal experiences available throughout the resort, especially at Magic Kingdom Park. You can dine with royalty at
Cinderella's Royal Table or meet and greet some princesses at
Princess Fairytale Hall. You can get a haircut, and typically a dusting of pixie dust if desired, at the
Harmony Barber Shop. Speaking of pixie dust, there is usually a cast member with a special wand at
Sir Mickey's, behind
Cinderella Castle, ready to make your wishes come true with a sprinkling of that magical dust. At
The Grand Floridian Spa, you can also book a hair or makeup Magical Makeover. No matter which path you choose, a little faith, trust, and pixie dust will take you exactly where you’re meant to go.
Chloe, no matter which experiences you choose, you are bound to have a magical time at Walt Disney World! After all, the magic is always there…sometimes you just need to think happy thoughts to find it. If you have any other questions,
I would be happy to help.
Off to Neverland,
Matt
