I’ve been getting lots of emails from folks asking about Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservations. And for good reason… it’s easily the most difficult reservation to make at Walt Disney World. This is especially the case if you have a short stay or are staying off-site.
If your booking window isn’t open, you can check out our complete master class on how to book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (or you can work with me and I’ll do it for you for free).
However, if your booking window is open and you’ve missed your opportunity to snag a reservation, this article is for you.
You basically have two options: 1) You can check manually each day or use a free alert system. 2) Try for a walk-up slot by arriving early at Magic Kingdom. Just keep in mind that later appointments via walk-up mean less time to enjoy the full princess experience in the parks.
Key Takeaways
- Book early and for longer trips to improve chances of getting a reservation
- Check for dates at the end of your trip first
- Check daily or use alert systems if you miss initial booking window
- Try walk-up options as a last resort, but expect later appointment times
How to Find Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Reservations after they are Sold Out
Manually Checking for Reservations or Free Alerts
The first option is checking daily or as frequently as you can. Particularly around 30-40 days before the date you want. This is because final payments are due 31 days in advance of check-in, so if people cancel their trip, they will cancel their Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Reservations. However, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Reservation doesn’t always automatically cancel with the trip, so cancellations may happen over the next few days.
You can monitor reservations manually or use a free alert system. They’ll send you an email when a spot opens up during your trip. Just keep in mind, you’ll need to act fast once you get that alert!
If you’re willing to spend some money, there are paid services that might help. But I think trying on your own is usually better.
Try Your Luck with Same-Day Spots
If you can’t book ahead, you can try for a same-day spot. Get to Magic Kingdom early and ask to be put on the list. You might get a spot, but it will likely be later in the day. This isn’t ideal since you’ll miss out on some of the fun of being dressed up all day. Still, it’s better than nothing!
I’ve noticed that booking 60 days out can be tricky. If you’re only staying for a short time, spots might already be gone. People with longer trips can book further ahead, so they often grab the slots first. If you have a longer trip, try looking at dates near the end of your stay first. Those are more likely to be open.
Remember, if you’re staying off-site or only for a night or two, it’s going to be harder to get a spot. You might need to use alerts or try for a same-day spot. It’s similar on cruise ships too. If you don’t get a spot when you first book, check as soon as you get on the ship. They might be able to fit you in.
Giving yourself the Best Chance at a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Reservation
The Disney system is designed so the longer your vacation, the easier reservations are to get. If you’re only staying for a day or two, it can be really tough to snag a spot. There are some tricks I can use to help my clients here, so if your window is still open, definitely reach out!
When you’re ready to book, start by checking the dates at the end of your trip. These are usually less crowded since other guests might not have had a chance to book them yet. Work your way backwards from there.
