Hiya Jennifer,
Welcome to planDisney! We are honored to be a part of your planning journey. I hope that you and your family will have a most magical trip together.
What a great question, Jennifer! My toddler just recently expressed that she wanted to meet Fairy Godmother's Apprentices for a makeover during our December trip (and convinced her Nana and Pop Pop to gift it to her for Christmas). Now I'm all about making dreams come true, but I wish this dream had been vocalized when our 60-day advanced reservation window opened, rather than less than a month before. Unfortunately,
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique does not have a waitlist that Guests can be added to (although that would be amazing). I finally got a reservation for my little one two days ago, and I'm happy to share what I did. First, I checked the reservation site every day. Guests frequently cancel reservations as their plans change, so reservations do pop up. I've found the most luck the closer you get to your trip in finding reservations. I was randomly checking the website after putting my two Mouseketeers down for the night and was shocked to see the perfect reservation pop up on my screen. I've also found reservations for my top places the night before multiple times. If that doesn't work, head straight to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique when Magic Kingdom opens on December 8th. Sometimes, a little magic is sprinkled, and they have some slots available for same-day bookings. This is not guaranteed, but it's still worth a shot if you aren't able to get an advanced reservation.
I hope this was helpful, Jennifer. I know there is nothing you wouldn't do for your Mouseketeer, so don't give up hope on the reservation yet. I've seen magic happen every day. I am sending so much pixie dust your way and hoping a reservation appears before you arrive on the 8th. If, for some reason, you aren't able to get a reservation, a visit to
Sir Mickey's is an excellent alternative to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Your Mouseketeer can pick out a royal outfit with accessories and then you can take some photos in Fantasyland to commemorate the moment. The Cast Members can even add a little magic to her day with a sprinkling of pixie dust upon request. It may not be a complete makeover experience, but it is a fun way to make the day special. If you need anything else, please come back and see
us. I would be happy to help you make sure your vacation is as amazing as possible.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
