How to Book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Masterclass!

As a Disney dad and travel agent, I’m excited to share my insider tips for booking the magical Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Walt Disney World. This enchanting experience transforms little ones into princesses and knights, creating unforgettable memories right next to Cinderella’s Castle in Magic Kingdom.

I’ve booked this popular attraction hundreds of times for my clients and enjoyed it with my own family. The key to success? Be ready to reserve your spot 60 days before your vacation starts. It’s a bit tricky, but I’ll guide you through the process to make sure you don’t miss out on this special experience.

Key Takeaways

  • Book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at midnight Eastern Time, 60 days before your check-in date
  • Start checking for reservations at the end of your vacation and work backwards
  • Schedule the makeover early in the day to maximize enjoyment and photo opportunities

How to Book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Every Time:

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique offers different packages for princess transformations and is consistently one of the hardest things to book at Disney World. Here’s why:

  • There’s only one location now (used to be more)
  • Lots of families want to do it
  • Spots open up earlier than people think

The big secret is that you can book 60 days before your trip starts. But here’s the key – reservations open at midnight Eastern time, not 6 AM like other things. Many people don’t know this, so they miss out.

To get a reservation:

  1. Go online at 11:45 PM Eastern, 61 days before your check-in
  2. Have your Disney account ready
  3. Look for dates at the end of your trip first
  4. Book quickly – good times go fast! In fact, most (if not all) slots will be gone in minutes.

I always try to book early morning slots. This lets kids enjoy their new look all day long. Late afternoon or evening bookings don’t give you as much time to show off that princess or knight style!

Step-by-Step Booking Guide

Here’s how you can navigate the Walt Disney World website to book your reservation:

  1. Open WaltDisneyWorld.com and navigate to the My Disney Experience tab on the top right.
  2. Scroll down to Book Enchanting Extras and Experiences.
  3. The experiences are in alphabetical order. Scroll down to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
  4. Begin this process at 11:45 PM, 61 days before your check-in date.
  5. Click on the relevant link and navigate to available days.
  6. Remember, aim for the latest date during your vacation as it will likely have more availability. Start at the back end and work your way forward.

Booking Strategies for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Timing Your Booking

I’ve found that booking Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique 60 days before my Disney World trip is key because the spot is super popular, so I always mark my calendar to reserve it as soon as I can. I make sure to start checking for openings at 11:45 PM Eastern Time, 61 days before my check-in date. This gives me a 15-minute head start before the official midnight opening.

Sometimes the time slots go live a little early, so it’s nice to be ready.

Selecting Dates for Your Reservation

When picking a date, I always start with the last full day of my trip. Here’s why:

  1. More choices are often available later in the stay
  2. Other guests might have already booked earlier dates
  3. It’s easier to adjust plans if needed

I look for morning slots to make the most of the day. If I can’t find an ideal time, I book what’s available and keep checking for better options. Remember, you can always cancel and rebook if you find a better time later.

Remember, this experience can take up to 90 minutes, so factor that into your plans. Booking too late in the day might mean missing out on character meet-and-greets or other park activities.

The best part? By booking at midnight, you’ll have your Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation set before dining reservations open at 6 AM. This lets you plan the rest of your day around the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience.

A few more tips:

  • Internet Connection: Use a computer with a stable Ethernet connection rather than relying solely on Wi-Fi or a phone app.
  • Multiple Devices: Have multiple devices ready to increase your chances of getting the desired reservation.
  • Backup Dates: Always have alternate dates in mind in case your first choice isn’t available.

Maximizing the Bibbidi Bobbidi Experience: Combining Boutique and Character Meetings

To make the most of your Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique visit, plan character meets afterward. This way, your child can show off their new look to their favorite Disney friends. Keep in mind that some characters may finish their meet-and-greets by 5 PM, so an earlier makeover is better for photos.

Follow these tips, and you’ll be set!
