No doubt your little princess will want the royal treatment at Disney's Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique during your family's visit to Walt Disney World. These little girl (and boy) spa treaments are extremely popular. Our Vacationkids staff is constanly being asked about this info so we thought we'd do our best to help put it all in one place for our guests.
If it's been a while since you've visited the parks, let's get you up to speed. Kids LOVE coming to the parks now dressed in costume. Children are perfectly welcome to bring costumes along and dress up like their favorite characters, especially Disney Princesses. If you want to take that experience up a notch, there's the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. It's a princess's best friend.
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique welcomes all princess wanna bees between the ages of 3 and 12. Of course, this experience is even better if your child is at the age where they haven't yet "lost the magic" and are firm believers in all things make believe. A parent or guardian must be present at all times during this magical transformation. Girls can select from 4 different hairstyles and can select to be made up like their favorite Disney Princess or even Tinkerbell.
The original is located inside the HUGE Disney Store over at Downtown Disney. It is open 7 days a week from 9:30am with the last appointment scheduled at 5:30pm There is now another Bibbi Bobbidi Boutique found just behind Cinderella's castle as you step into Fantasyland. It too is open 7 days a week but has longer hours - 8am until 7pm. Of course you must have park admission to access this salon.
Due to the extreme popularity is it HIGHLY recommended that reservations be made for this special Disney experience 180 days in advance. This is a service our Vacationkids Disney experts are happy to provide for our guests. Of course, walk in appointments are welcome for impromptu folks who believe in fate. Make no promises to your princess because you may very well be disappointed.
Think of it like an enchanted spa for little girls. The experience is truly magical, complete with a visit from the Fairy Godmother. So how much will all this magic set you back? Parents can choose from their menu of packages....

Additional Imaging add on Package
Can be added to any package
Of course you are welcome to take your own photos of the entire experience. You may prefer to have a pro shot with set lighting over what you might be able to accomplish with your cell phone. Remember, you'll want to hang onto this photo and drag it out on prom night as a sweet reminder.
As you can see from the menu, some of the higher priced packages do include clothing, accessories and/or a fully princess costume. One tip that can really save is to buy your Disney princess costume in advance. Your princess is perfectly welcome to wear it or bring it along to the salon. Oh, and speaking of tips...be sure your girl arrives with clean fingernails and clean, tangle free hair so that the magic can begin from a clean slate. No hair washing or nail polish removal is done here, it's all about adding Disney style.
