Welcome to planDisney, Nick, and even though I'm not officially a Fairy Godmother, I'd love to help you sprinkle some magic on your little princess during your upcoming visit to
Disneyland Resort. Your trip is just around the corner by pumpkin coach, so let's see if we can come up with some options for you.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is such a thrilling and memorable experience, but availability can be scarce due to the one-on-one attention all young guests get. When times open up at the 60-day mark, they can fill up in the wave of a wand. But I do have some ideas for you, Nick.
First, guests can cancel their reservations at the boutique up to 24 hours before their appointment. Keep
checking for availability right up until your visit because plans change for people all the time. If you don't have any luck finding a spot, I suggest you arrive at Disneyland Park at rope drop and head straight for the boutique. Check to see if they have had any cancellations or last-minute availability. While there is no official waitlist, being there in person might help your chances if there is a cancellation.
You can also ask a Godmother-in-Training or a Coachman at the boutique for a magical sprinkling of pixie dust for your princess. Sometimes that makes a frown turn upside down in a hurry. Another idea is to do your own touch of make-up and special hairdo before coming to Disneyland Park. Find a
Disney PhotoPass photographer to snap some pictures near Sleeping Beauty Castle, and you'll have some royal memories to last a lifetime.
My final suggestion is to check the Disneyland Mobile App to find some princesses you can visit and take photos with. From the app, click the Map button at the bottom; it looks like an upside-down teardrop. Then, above the map in the center, tap the down arrow to Select Category. Near the top of the category list, you should see Characters. I like to click Show List in the top right to see what characters are currently accepting guests. You might be able to visit Snow White, Ariel, Tinker Bell, and more!
Nick, I'm sending all my Godmother-wannabe powers so you can experience Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique with your princess. I feel sure you'll have a magical time regardless because you'll all be together. Salagadoola mechika boola, which means
stop by planDisney anytime!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
