Hello Neil!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so sorry that you are having trouble booking an experience at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park. I'm hoping to book it for my daughter this year as well as we have never had the opportunity to experience it in Cinderella Castle. It sure seems like an experience that little royalty should experience at least once.
Like any
Enchanting Extra, guests can start booking this experience 60 days in advance starting at 6:00 AM EST. However, there is a disturbance in the Force that we must contend with. For some reason, guests from the UK and quite possibly Europe are not able to book these extras online. It's a tough situation and it is still not clear on their site as to why but this is what my UK panel friend
Sue is experiencing as well! Her
best advice which I will share with you is to reach out and garner the services of a US or Canadian-based Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. These planners can provide their services at no cost and can help with getting these special details worked out.
Another option is to wait until you arrive in the United States and book through the
US-based website for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. This link will not work unless you are in the US but it will let you make a reservation. Also, many people don't know that there are sometimes a limited number of walk-in appointments for the boutique that you can try and grab. My top tip for you is to arrive at Magic Kingdom Park as early as possible and head straight to the boutique to see if any bookings opened up for the day. Reservations for this experience must be canceled at least 24 hours before to avoid any fees which can mean possible last-minute openings. The boutique tends to open at 8 am so if this is important to you I would be at that door before then. You will have to be flexible with your plans for that day as the times may vary but this is just one of those experiences that you should plan around. It's just that special!
I am sorry that I don't have better news but I do hope this helps in some way and your little one gets an opportunity to sparkle and shine on your holiday trip! Don't forget that royalty of all ages can be sprinkled with pixie dust by the lovely Cast Members at
Sir Mickey's. It's worth a visit to shop for a dress and accessories if reservations just don't work out.
Happy Planning!
