The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom brings your child’s dreams of becoming a princess to life! (Yes, it’s the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, NOT the Bippity Boppity Boutique.)

Children ages 3-12 can get a magical makeover and watch their fairytale dreams come true! Your children can choose their hairstyle, makeup, nail color, accessories, and costumes.

However, there’s a lot more planning to it than you would think. So, here are some steps to getting your child his or her dream makeover. (Yes, it’s not just for princesses. Young princes are welcome too!)

Making the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Reservation

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a very busy place, as you can imagine. It is highly recommended that reservations be made with a Fairy Godmother-in-training. You can do this up to 180 days in advance.

A credit card will be required at time of booking and a $10 cancellation fee will be applied for all no-shows or cancellations within 24 hours of scheduled time.

Selecting the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Hairstyles

Once you’re in, the first choice you have to make is the hairstyle… and there are so many great ones to choose from. Your options are Fairytale Princess, Disney Diva, and Color Star.

Then, you can make a selection from different packages: The Crown Package, The Courtyard Package, The Castle Package, and The Knight Package. For more on what’s included in the different packages, click here.

Throughout the year, watch out for special package offers to get the ultimate experience!

Photo Add-Ons at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Because this is a moment you’ll want to treasure, the Memory Maker has you covered. For an additional cost, you can add the Imaging Package and receive one 6″ x 8″ photo and four 4″ x 6″ photos in a special photo holder.

Make sure to order Memory Maker before your visit to capture the moments during the Memory Maker window.

Transformation Time at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

The makeover will take 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the package you select. If you opted for a costume package, costume choices include Anna, Elsa, Ariel, Snow White, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella, Tinker Bell, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Merida. Remember, there are also fun options for the boys too!

You and your prince or princess will be coming out of that boutique with memories that last a lifetime!
