Greetings, Erika!
Welcome to planDisney, I'm so excited you will be visiting Disneyland Resort soon! It sounds like you might be planning a little extra magic for a prince or princess, let's talk all about the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!
There is such a wide range of services available with the Fairy Godmother's Apprentices at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! Whether you choose a package for a brave knight or a beautiful princess I know you will have an amazing time. A visit to
Meet Disney Princesses at Royal Hall is the logical next step after your makeover! Currently, those visits are no longer an official part of a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique package. I recommend reserving your makeover earlier in the day so you have plenty of time to visit the princesses after. You can use the
Disneyland Mobile App to watch for a time when it's a little less busy!
My favorite activity in Fantasyland is
Storytelling at Royal Theater! Mr. Smythe and Mr. Jones are so funny and talented, and I especially love when they tell the story of Tangled with Rapunzel and Flynn. It's a small theater, so make sure you arrive a little early! Disney PhotoPass digital downloads are included with Disney Genie+ so I suggest at least one person buys Disney Genie+ to download all the amazing photos you'll take that day. Look for Disney PhotoPass Photographers near Sleeping Beauty Castle, Mad Tea Party, and the Sword in the Stone! I also love to take my own photos on the path between the boutique over to Royal Hall, it's a quieter spot to get some lovely shots with the castle.
You can also use the app to find additional princesses visiting guests in the parks. When you open the map tap on the pin icon at the bottom to open the map, then tap "Attractions" at the top to switch the view to "Characters" to see who visiting the parks that day. I like to tap "Show List" in the top right corner if I'm looking for someone specific since the list is in alphabetical order and easier for me to scan. You might even find that
Ariel (from the new live-action film) has ventured onto land during your visit this summer!
Did you know that anyone can ask for a little bit of pixie dust at the boutique? Just ask one of the apprentices and they will be happy to magically sprinkle anyone in your party who needs a happy thought. We often stop by to do this with my daughter if we start our morning in Fantasyland!
Erika, I hope you and your party will have a completely amazing visit to the parks. I travel there often from Utah myself, so if you have any other questions I'd be happy to help you!
Send me a note and I'll be back with a refill of pixie dust as soon as I can. Safe travels!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
