Finally! After a long, long, long wait, Disney has announced that the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will be reopening at both the Walt Disney World® Resort and Disneyland® Resort on August 25th, 2022. Currently, there are only two locations that will be reopening (one at each resort) – inside the Magic Kingdom, behind Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World® and near Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland®.
You can also find Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on Disney Cruise Line® sailings; the Disney Dream’s and Disney Fantasy’s can be found on Deck 5, Midship, while the Disney Magic’s and Disney Wonder’s can be found on Deck 10, Forward. On Disney’s newest ship, The Wish, you can find Bippity Boppity Boutique on Deck 4, Midship — and they have some incredible new choices specifically for Disney Cruise Line®.
What age is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for?
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique only allows children ages 3 – 12 years old to participate. There are is a large variety of characters that your child can choose to be turned into by their Fairy Godmother Apprentice, from princes and princesses, pirates or knights, or to the recently added new heroes and heroines. There is no restriction on whom your child can choose to be, regardless of their age or gender.
What’s the experience like inside Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique?
For starters, let’s talk about how much time the entire process takes. The actual makeover itself could last 30 – 45 minutes, depending upon the selections you and your child make, but that doesn’t take into account the selection process or the optional fairytale photo shoot at the end.
Your child will begin by selecting the character they want their Fairy Godmother Apprentice to turn them into. They’ll choose their outfit as well as detailed accessories to match — like wands, purses, shoes, fairy wings, or crowns. You’d be surprised at how many choices there are!
Once your child has made their final selections (and you’ve given the financial approval), they’ll then be escorted into a dressing chamber to dawn their new attire. (For a prince and princess, this is referred to as “getting ready for the ball.”) Afterwards, they will be taken into the salon area to begin their formal makeover by a Fairy Godmother Apprentice.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique offers many different types of makeover packages that include an assortment of different pamperings such as make up, hair, nails, etc. Once their makeover is complete, your child’s Fairy Godmother Apprentice will sprinkle them with magical fairy dust to complete the transformation, and your child will leave feeling pampered, glamorous, and ready for the ball (or their next big adventure).
Before heading out, there is a unique spot to get a few photos with Disney’s Photopass in the form of a fairytale photo shoot before they leave.
GENIE TIP: Make sure to bring an overnight sleeping cap for your child so their lovely hairdo can stay preserved for longer during your trip.
What about Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Birthday makeovers?
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is an AMAZING way to celebrate a birthday! If you’re going to Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® for your child’s birthday, there is no better way to celebrate, than to give them the prince/princess experience of a lifetime.
When you bring your child to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on their birthday, depending on the package purchased, they will not only receive a makeover and new outfit, but also an exclusive birthday sash! The overall feel and added magic will be extra special on their special day. It will truly make them feel like the royalty that they are!
After Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Maximize the Magic with Characters.
After their big makeover, one of the best ways to immerse your children further into the magic of Disney is to have them meet their favorite characters while dressed like them. These provide some of the best memories you could ever imagine. And it’s even more true now that autographs and hugs are back!
Imagine your daughter meeting Cinderella while dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table and sharing a twirl together. Or your son exchanging sword moves with Captain Jack Sparrow outside of Pirates of the Caribbean. What could be more magical than that?
GENIE TIP: If your child receives a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique sash at the end of their visit (depending on the package purchased) be sure to keep that on them throughout the day, as cast members often will give special treatment to princes/princesses such as skipping the line to meet characters or give them an extra special, complimentary treat during dinner.
How much does Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique cost?
The cost of your child’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience greatly depends on the package you select and what kind of outfit/accessories they’ll be wearing. The cheapest option is the Knight Package for $19.95; this package does not include a knight outfit, but they will receive a mighty sword and shield. As far as their makeover, it will simply be some hair gel and styling. From here, packages range greatly in price and the outfits often are not included.
The most commonly bought is the Crown Package for $74.95, which includes hairstyling, shimmering makeup, face gem, nail polish, a sash (it says either Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique or you can choose a Birthday sash) and a princess cinch sack to hold your goodies. You get to keep the makeup, nail polish, brush, comb, extra face gems, a make-up wipe and a bottle of shampoo.
The most expensive package they offer is The Princess Signature Dress Collection for $450.00, which includes everything in The Crown Package, plus a Disney Princess gown made with heirloom-quality fabrics, with intricate design details that tell the story of the princess. It also comes with a high-quality crystal tiara with box and an organza garment bag with satin hanger.
As mentioned previously, outfits and accessories are often not a part of the packages. These range in price from $60 – $300. For more details on exact pricing based on your family’s ideal Boutique visit, ask your personal Travel Planning Genie.
*Pricing is subject to change. Prices mentioned above do not include tax.
GENIE TIP: To save a little extra on this experience, you can have your child bring a costume from home or grab one off property at a lower rate beforehand. While it may take away a bit from the experience of selecting an outfit at Disney, it could save you anywhere from $60-$300 for that one outfit.
