With great fanfare, I'd like to welcome Lady April to planDisney! We love helping guests from faraway lands plan enchanting holidays, so let's look at your options for getting your young princess a royal makeover on your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort visit.
At this time, tours and other experiences in the
Enchanting Extra Collection cannot be booked online or by phone by our friends in England, but *horn flourish* I have some suggestions.
One option is to secure an authorized travel agent in the US or Canada to help book tours and experiences like
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park. Remember, if you're staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, you can begin making reservations for dining and other experiences 60 days before arrival for up to ten days of your stay. My tip is to be as flexible as possible because the best availability could be near the end of your holiday.
You can also check for openings by hopping on your
mobile app once you arrive in the US. Enter "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique" in the search field and click "Check Availability" to enter your date range and number of guests. Even if you don't find a spot right away, please keep checking. I was trying for Starlight Safari reservations earlier this year, and they popped up while I was checking at a traffic light!
My final suggestion is to check for day-of appointments at the boutique when you arrive. I was at
Magic Kingdom Park yesterday, and in the name of research, I asked the Fairy Godmother at the boutique about your question. She said they often set aside a few appointments each day for walk-ins, so she advised checking first thing in the morning when you arrive. While there are no guarantees you'll find an opening, I'm sprinkling pixie dust your way so your little girl's dreams come true.
Even if the boutique doesn't work out during this visit, I suggest stopping by
Sir Mickey's for a sprinkle of sparkle and some magical incantations. The Fairy Godparents there will make your daughter feel like a princess, and they have many accessories and outfits to help her shine. Snap photos outside the boutique with Cinderella Castle in the background to capture the magical memory.
April, I'm wishing on a star that your trip is all you dream of. Please
stop by planDisney anytime. Your royal carriage will be ready, mice and all!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
