Hi, Maria!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Your 9-year-old princess is definitely not too old for a special royal makeover at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! Children between the ages of 3 and 12 are invited to visit a Fairy Godmother-in-training for a magical transformation. There are two Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique locations: in Magic Kingdom (in Cinderella Castle) and Downtown Disney (in the World of Disney store).
Appointments can be made by calling
407-WDW-STYLE (407-939-7895). I would recommend calling far in advance because this is one royal experience that is much in demand among young princesses visiting Walt Disney World! Often you will have a better chance of finding an available day and time at the Downtown Disney location.
Boys are indeed welcome at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - in fact, there's a service just for them called
The Knight Package which includes a hairstyle with colored gel, a sword and shield, and confetti. Your boys may also like
The Pirates League makeover experience, also located in Magic Kingdom (in Adventureland). Here, aspiring pirates of all ages (including adults!) can choose from 5 different looks, such as Captain Jack, Cursed Pirate and Captain Hook. And
if your daughter isn't interested in the royal princess treatment, she may prefer to join her brothers at The Pirates League for an Empress or Mermaid makeover.
Wishing you a
magical vacation, Maria! Please send more questions if we can help you with any other aspects of your trip planning.
