Hi Louise!
Welcome to planDisney! Once you're within the 60-day arrival window, I feel like the final countdown to your Walt Disney World Resort vacation officially kicks off! As you start making
advanced dining reservations and can begin the
online check-in process, it feels like your trip is
Just Around the Riverbend! If you're looking for any fun countdown ideas, you may want to check out my friends Lizzie and Diane who share some of their favorite ways to pass the time until their trip on a recent edition of the
planDisney Podcast.
Louise, the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique offers children between the ages of 3 and 12 the chance to transform into a prince or princess with a makeover from their very own Fairy Godmother. It's one of the most popular reservations at Walt Disney World Resort and often fills within minutes of reservations opening. I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been able to secure a reservation yet, but I'd encourage you to continue checking availability before your arrival and even once you arrive. Plans for Guests do sometimes change ahead of their trip and you may be able to find an opening closer to your visit.
If you're hoping to dine with royalty on your trip, you may want to continue to check advanced dining reservations at character dining locations around the parks. While character appearances are always subject to change, there are a few places where you can typically find a royal welcome!
Cinderella's Royal Table at Magic Kingdom Park and
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT each feature a selection of Disney princesses while
Storybook Dining at Artist Point is all about Snow White and usually includes a few of her dwarf friends as well as a visit by the Evil Queen herself!
1900 Park Fare also recently re-opened at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and celebrates the power of a wish with Cinderella, Mirabel, Tiana (in her Bayou Adventure outfit), and Aladdin (in his Prince Ali outfit).
Louise, I'm sending lots of pixie dust your way in hopes that you are able to find a reservation that opens for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique during your visit! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again at planDisney!
Cheers,
Kristi
