Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - A dream come true!

There are two locations, one in Disney Springs and the other at Cinderella’s Castle, in Magic Kingdom and its available for children aged 3-12. Both locations have the full boutique, with Fairy Godmothers in training and a full selection of dresses, tiaras and pixie dust!

This experience is available to book 180 days prior to departure (I can book this for you) the earlier you book, the more chance you must get the Magic Kingdom boutique, as this is smaller than Disney Springs, as well as being more popular. To book, you just need a credit card to guarantee the booking and they will only charge you if you are a no show ($10pp). You don't even need to choose the packages there and then; you can choose this once you arrive for your reservation.

The options you can choose from are:

The Crown Package which includes the following:

Hairstyling Shimmering make-up and face gem Princess sash and cinch sack Nail polish You can take your own dress or outfit to wear.

The Courtyard Package which includes everything in the Crown Package as well as a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique T-shirt and Trendy tutu

Castle Package which includes everything in the Crown Package as well as the following:

Disney Princess gown of your choice (shoes not included) Additional coordinating accessories

The Deluxe Castle Package which includes everything in the Castle Package except it's a Deluxe Disney Princess gown of your choice (shoes not included). Select from a limited number of Disney Princesses and a coordinating boxed accessory set.

Each experience is amazing and on arrival you check in and get to meet some of the Fairy Godmothers in training! Whilst you wait, they will read you a story or colour in beautiful pictures of all the princesses with you, so you don't get bored before your appointment starts. If you're choosing your own dress, the boutique has a variety of princesses to choose from and once you have chosen, your Fairy Godmother in training, will go and search for the dress in your size.

Then it’s time for the changing room! This is where you get changed, ready for your transformation. Once you are changed, you will be shown to your very own chair, where your makeover will begin. You choose from a variety of hairstyles and accessories.

Darcie chose the Fairy-tale Princess look, with a matching hair piece (this was not the choice I had in mind, but it was her decision!) Her hair was put delicately, but firmly into a bun, with a gorgeous little tiara added (after the lovely pink hair piece!) Then the makeup was chosen (the princesses get to keep this little make up kit afterwards which is really cute), face gems were added, after Darcie had carefully chosen which ones she had wanted and while all of that was happening, her nails were painted in a sparkly, glitter nail polish (again, yours when you leave).

Once she was ready, the Fairy Godmother in training applied some pixie dust and called over the photographer for the big reveal! This is where you need your tissues at the ready. The chair is turned in a 10 years younger fashion, where the young princess sees herself for the 1st time all made up! The reaction is just incredible and makes the cost all worthwhile!

Photos are then taken by the mirror and you are handed your BBB cinch bag, with your goodies in (after the bank of Mum and Dad pay!) This whole experience lasts around 45 minutes to an hour and then you can go and have your photos taken in a studio (across for the BBB in the Magic Kingdom or with the Disney Springs location).

Why not book your BBB experience, alongside a meal with the princesses at Cinderella's Royal Table at Magic Kingdom or Arkeshus Hall at Epcot, where you can have a wonderful waiter service meal with a selection of Princesses, such as Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle and Snow White to name but a few. We booked into Arkeshus Hall for dinner, which was a wonderful experience, especially as the girls were all dressed up!

My top tips for the best experience - Book early if you want the Magic Kingdom location - Try and get an appointment in the morning especially for the younger guests, they can get tired much quicker in the heat and by the afternoon (as we found out) can get a little grumpy and need a sleep once their hair has been done! - If you can get an appointment in the morning, book Cinderella's Royal Table for breakfast, it's easier to get a booking in the morning than for dinner! - You can take your own dresses. We decided as a treat for Darcie, she could choose one there. Next time, we will take one and save ourselves $70! Our nieces had theirs specially made for them and went down a treat! - Film it, take pictures and watch every glisten and facial expression! Those memories will last a lifetime!
