Here are 14 Tips For Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Walt Disney World that you need to know before your visit.
1. Three Locations – There is a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique location in Disney Springs , one at Grand Floridian and one inside the Castle in the Magic Kingdom. You need a park ticket for the Magic Kingdom location, but you do not need one for the other 2 locations. If you want your reservation at the one inside the castle, you need to book it 180 days in advance.
2. Make A Morning Reservation – A visit to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is not cheap. Book your reservation as early in the morning as possible so she can wear the style all day long. Guests can book online, making it more convenient than ever!
3. Walk Thru An Empty Park – Book an 8 am reservation at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique location in the Magic Kingdom and you’ll be able to enter the park before it opens. Just make sure you don’t book a reservation during Extra Magic Morning Hours or you will be let in with the rest of the crowds.
4. Choose The Crown Package – There are 3 packages to choose from with prices ranging from $74.95 to $199.95. The Crown Package is the best value at $74.95. you’ll get a hairstyle with the crown, nail polish, makeup, sash and a cinch sack.
5. Visit Between 3 – 12 Years Of Age – Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique won’t accept reservations until they are 3 years old. They also won’t style the hair of someone over the age of 12. If you want your daughter to have this experience, make sure you visit when she is the appropriate age.
6. Allow 30-60 Minutes – The makeover transformation will last between 30 minutes to an hour. Make sure your little one has a full belly and is well rested for their appointment time.
7. Choose Different Hairstyles – You do not have to get the Fairytale Princess hairstyle (that’s the one with the bun, crown and Mickey-shaped barrette). You can also choose from the Pop Princess (this includes a colorful hairpiece and Mickey clips) or the Disney Diva (includes a ponytale hairpiece and sparkling Mickey clips).
8. Bring The Boys – Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique caters to girls, but they also have a Knight package for boys. The cost is $19.95 and it includes hairstyling with gel, mighty sword and shield and confetti.
9. Supply Your Own Dress – Every girl wants to look like a princess, but it can break your pocket book if you aren’t careful. With the prices of princess dresses now almost $70, it is a wise financial decision to bring your own dress from home.
10. Prepare Ahead Of Time – Make sure your princess has clean hair that is free of tangles. You can bring your own brush, but the Fairy Godmother In Training also has a comb that she can use. Also make sure the nails are free of nail polish as they do not have remover.
11. Take Home Your Goodies – You will be given the leftover make-up, nail polish and any accessories that weren’t used in your package.
12. Pose For Pictures – Both locations have a Photopass photographer who will take pictures of the process. They also have a photo area that you can visit after your appointment for additional styled photos (ask Cast Member for the location). If you have Memory Maker, they will scan your band or give you a card to enter into your account to retrieve your pictures. You can also purchase an image package that includes one 6″ x 8″ and four 4″ x 6″ photos in a special photo holder.
13. Book Elsewhere – If you can’t get into Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique during your vacation, you can book the Perfectly Prepared Princess Package at a few of the hair salons on property including Ivy Trellis at Grand Floridian.
14. Get Free Fairy Dust – If you don’t have an appointment at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, stop in for your free fairy dust from a Fairy Godmother in Training. Just ask the Cast Member at the check-in desk for it.

We took my youngest daughter to BBB when she was 8. She adored the experience! We got the Diva style and it lasted throughout our entire trip of 4 days! I just fluffed her hair up a bit in the morning and she was ready for another day in the parks. Of course, it helped that we visited in January when the humidity levels were low and she wasn’t getting hot and sweaty during the day. It is fun to splurge on experiences like this when your kids are younger. The memories are priceless!
