The Royal Treatment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World

by Mommy Frog on August 16, 2023 210 Orlando

Inside This Post Inside This Post

Bibbidi, bobbidi, boo! We are so excited that the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is back open at Magic Kingdom Park. Princesses and knights ages 3 to 12 can enjoy magical transformations again with the help of the Fairy Godmother’s apprentices. Reservations are available (but limited) for booking at the Magic Kingdom location — the Disney Springs and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa locations will reopen at a later date. We hopped over with Lily and have updated our guide with all of the magical details!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World — Finished look with Fairy Godmother's Apprentice

Overview of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World

Bibbidi, bobbidi, boo! With these three magical words, the Fairy Godmother transformed Cinderella from a ragged maid into a beautiful princess, complete with a carriage. As if a trip to Disney World isn't filled with enough pixie dust, your prince or princess can receive the same royal treatment as Cinderella at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. With multiple locations at Disney World, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique offers a magical makeover experience in an equally magical setting. It's one the tadpoles will treasure, and one you'll save for the scrapbooks — Lily still talks about her Bibbidi Bobbidi makeover all the time!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World — Magic Kingdom location behind Cinderella Castle

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique has three locations at Walt Disney World Resort — one in Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park, one at Disney Springs and one at Disney's Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa (note that only the Magic Kingdom location has returned thus far). For any location, you'll need to make a reservation ahead of time. The original location is, of course, next door to Cinderella Castle. As you might imagine, this location books up pretty quickly, so be sure to hop to it if your prince or princess wants to head to the castle!

You can also find a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at both Disneyland and on each of the Disney Cruise ships!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Reservations

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World — Magic Kingdom location

Reservations are highly recommended for this experience and are very popular. The reservation policy for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is the same as for advance dining reservations. Guests staying at a non-Disney Resort hotel can make reservations up to 60 days in advance, while those staying at a Disney Resort hotel can make a reservation for any day of their stay (up to 10 days) starting 60 days from their arrival.

This means resort guests have an advance opportunity to reserve a time over non-resort guests. For example, on Aug. 1, the furthest date out that a non-resort guest could start making a reservation is Sept. 30 (60 days from Aug. 1). However, on Aug. 1, a resort guest arriving on Sept. 30 could make a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation for Oct. 5. For resort guests, you may want to plan a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointment near the end of your trip (when you can reserve 60+ days in advance) instead of when you first arrive.

Reservations are now available for booking — you'll need to include a credit card while booking but the card will not be charged until your visit. If visiting the Magic Kingdom location, you'll need to make sure you have valid park admission and a park pass reservation. You won't need to choose the specific package until your actual appointment, so you'll just be booking the reservation for now.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Packages and Pricing

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World — Carriage package take-home accessories

At the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, tadpoles from ages 3 to 12 can have their very own Fairy Godmother Apprentice give them a royal makeover. There are various packages to choose from and they are available to any gender, so your child can decide if they want to be a princess or a knight. You'll want to plan for about an hour to 90 minutes for this magical transformation, depending on the package and the hairstyle your mini royal selects. Note: The following prices and packages are subject to change.

  • The Carriage Package ($99.95 + tax) includes hairstyling, shimmering makeup and face gem, princess sash and cinch sack, nail polish and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique T-shirt (pictured above).
  • The Castle Package (starting at $199.95 + tax) includes hairstyling, shimmering makeup and face gem, princess sash and cinch sack, nail polish, a Disney Princess gown of their choosing (not including shoes) and additional coordinating accessories.
  • The Deluxe Castle Package (starting at $229.95 plus tax) includes hairstyling, shimmering makeup with a face gem, princess necklace, sash, cinch sack, nail polish and Deluxe Disney Princess gown of their choice (excluding shoes) ... plus a coordinating boxed accessory set! (Subject to availability)
  • The Disney Encanto Package (starting at $179.95 + tax) includes hairstyling, shimmering makeup and face gem, princess sash and cinch sack, nail polish, a Mirabel or Isabela gown (not including shoes) and additional coordinating accessories.
  • The Knight Package (starting at $19.95 plus tax) includes hairstyling with gel and a sword and shield.
  • The Deluxe Knight Package (starting at $79.95 plus tax) includes hairstyling with gel, a sword and shield and a knight costume.

You'll let the cast members know which package you choose when you are brought into your appointment. While waiting in the lobby, you are provided a binder so you can look at all the package options (all the same information is also available online). You'll go from the lobby to the shop, where assorted princess dresses and accessories are available for purchase.

PhotoPass photographers will be making the rounds and taking photos of the experience, but note that photos are not included with the experience. You'll receive a PhotoPass card with all of your child's transformation photos. Once you can link to your account, you'll see the watermarked photos. You can either decide to purchase individual photos or we highly suggest purchasing Memory Maker, which allows unlimited digital downloads for your entire trip.

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Experience

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom — Shop with dresses and accessories

At Magic Kingdom, you'll find the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique behind Cinderella Castle just before Prince Charming Royal Carousel. After checking in, a Fairy Godmother Apprentice will lead you from the lobby to the shop. You'll let them know which package you are doing and if you will be purchasing any dresses, prince or knight costumes or accessories (certain dresses will be included in the price depending on the package). Dresses are typically around $59.99 while the Deluxe Signature dresses are about $99.99. Most of the pieces can be found in other shops throughout Walt Disney World, though some are exclusive to the shop, such as higher-end tiaras. You can also bring your own dress like we did with Lily.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom — Fairy godmother magic mirror

Once ready, you'll head to the fitting room where the Apprentice will go over the different hairstyles, such as a bun with a tiara or a brightly colored hairpiece. You'll then get a special message from the Fairy Godmother herself! Your child will then adorn their royal attire and head back out to the shop. You'll pay for the package and your Fairy Godmother's Apprentice will walk you over to the boutique in the castle (don't worry if it is raining a little like it was for us, they have umbrellas ready for the few seconds you are outside).

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom

The boutique itself has lots of royal touches and definitely feels like you're in the castle. There are a lot of stations for this popular experience, so it will be a bit tight navigating around, but once you're at your chair, there is a good amount of space. You are allowed two guests with the child and there are cushioned benches so you can sit right in front of the royal star.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom — Hairstyling

Now, the makeover begins! We did the Carriage Package, so the apprentice began with gelling the hair to fit into our selected high bun (even with Lily's shoulder-length hair, she still managed to get it into the iconic princess bun!). We chose the tiara and then there is even a hidden Mickey gem placed on the back of the hair. The hairstyling takes up most of the time and then we moved on to nails. Other hairstyles include a Royal Braid with accessories, a Fantasy curly hairpiece and flower halo, or a Pixie Magic ponytail accessory and flower halo.

The apprentice then applies a sparkly gold nail polish that she got from our favorite fairy, Tinker Bell!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom - Lipstick and eyeshadow palette

Lily was able to then choose which eyeshadow color she wanted (any combination of two colors). She also chose which lip color and then a face gem. We liked that the child has the freedom to choose whatever they prefer. Finally, the official BBB sash is placed to make it all official.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom – Reveal

With that, it's time for the big reveal! The whole transformation is done with the prince or princess facing away from the mirror, so there is a great moment when the Apprentice turns the chair around and lets them see the final look. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, indeed! Before heading out, you'll get your branded bag of goodies, including the nail polish, lipstick and eyeshadow palette you used, so you can enjoy magical transformations at home as well. You'll also get a PhotoPass card with all the photos taken during the transformation (though you will need to either purchase them or utilize Memory Maker to download them).

Lily absolutely loves the experience — it's one of her favorite activities at Disney World! She loved telling the characters she met later that day that she had been to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Cinderella Castle. We did not wash her hair or face that night, so she still had the princess look all of the next day (note: bring a shower cap to help maintain the hairdo).

After returning home and telling others about her visit, she would mention having her hair done and makeup applied in Cinderella Castle. She also mentions it when she sees Cinderella Castle during the opening of Disney movies.

Meeting Princesses at Magic Kingdom

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom – Meeting Cinderella

After your royal makeover, you'll definitely want to go see your favorite princesses! A great benefit of the Magic Kingdom location is you're right by Princess Fairytale Hall, where you can meet Cinderella, Elena, Rapunzel and Tiana. Lily was beyond excited to meet Cinderella in her matching outfit!

Other princesses you can meet throughout the park include Ariel at Ariel's Grotto, Belle during Enchanted Tales with Belle, Jasmine in Adventureland (who also meets with Aladdin), Snow White near Town Square Theater and Merida at Liberty Square Gazebo. Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app for set times. Hop over to our royal guide to princesses at Disney World for more information!

Most of these locations have a PhotoPass photographer available and you can take photos on your phone to capture all the magical memories.

Why Choose the Bibbibi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney Springs

While the location in Cinderella’s Castle is the most popular, another option is the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique location in Disney Springs (though this location has not reopened yet). All of the styling choices, prices and experience are the same, and it has a number of advantages. This location generally has a little more availability when it comes to reservations.

There are pros and cons to both locations. What could be more magical than a princess makeover in a real-life castle?! However, as with all experiences, note that this does cut into your park time. If you're already planning a Disney Springs day, it's an easy stop. We've found that Lily's hair lasts at least two days, so if your princess has multiple dress-up days planned, she can put that sash back on and really extend the magic.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney World - Disney Springs Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Some other factors to consider are:

  • Since it is at Disney Springs, you do not need an admission ticket. If you have a planned day that does not include visiting the parks, a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique makeover that day can be a good choice because you do not lose park touring time while the makeover takes place.
  • It is in a newer location at the Once Upon a Toy store, having moved from its spot in the Disney Store a couple of years ago. This allows for more seats and space in the salon area. However, it is still not overly roomy for siblings who are not having a makeover.
  • After the princess transformation is complete and you're leaving the boutique, there is a neat photo-op with a model of Cinderella’s carriage. A PhotoPass photographer will take pictures, but you can use your own camera, as well.
  • Perhaps the biggest advantage is that in our experience, it is MUCH easier to obtain a reservation. Years ago, we had Lily's appointment on the day after Thanksgiving, which is one of the busiest days of the year. We arrived about an hour early just to check in and were surprised that she could go ahead and start her princess transformation immediately. In the salon, there were a number of open seats so someone could have easily obtained a walk-in appointment.
  • After your tadpole's makeover, you can visit the PhotoPass Service Studio located nearby in Disney Springs for a photo session. If you have Memory Maker, these photos are added to your account. There are tons of fun backgrounds to choose from, and you can even make your own fairytale storybook!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Tips

1. Try to Get a Morning Appointment

A morning appointment allows your child to be made up for the day. This works out great if you have a meal at Cinderella's Royal Table or a meeting with Cinderella at Princess Fairytale Hall later. Plus, you can take pictures of your child with characters who may have limited visiting times. An earlier appointment really maximizes the royal look, but with how popular the experience is, it's toadally OK if you can only grab an afternoon booking.

2. Save on Princess Dresses

You can save on an official Disney version of a princess dress by checking eBay for either used dresses or new dresses that are being sold for less than the retail price of about $60 plus tax. The used dresses can be of great value because they typically have only been worn once or twice and are in great shape. I purchased a new Cinderella dress with several accessories for $45 and a group of four used dresses for only $80. Another option to save on a dress is to watch the Disney Store website for sales. I started watching a year in advance before our last visit and purchased several dresses for at least 25 percent off. There are also great third-party options available online from various shops, so there are plenty of options for your young royal.

If your tadpole is near 12 years old or tall for their age, the dress selection is more limited because many dresses are only available up to a size 10. The Disney Store website may offer larger sizes (up to size 13) that are not available at the retail store locations.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom – PhotoPass Studio at Sir Mickeys

3. Visit the Disney PhotoPass Studio

Once the transformation is complete, visit the Disney PhotoPass Studio afterward for a royal photoshoot. At Magic Kingdom, the studio is located at Sir Mickey's gift shop right across from BBB. This photo studio is open to anyone, so you may have a short wait as other families get their royal portraits taken. The studio has a set backdrop and some accessories as well. At Disney Springs, the boutique location is very close to the Disney PhotoPass Studio, which has lots more options with virtual backdrops and more. You can purchase individual photos or use Memory Maker or an Annual Pass with a photo add-on to download.

4. Be Ready for Your Own Photo-Ops

While you'll receive a ton of beautiful photos of your princess, don't froget to be ready to take your own pics during the process. And think about other places that may make for special impromptu photo-ops. Some of our favorite spots are Cinderella Fountain and the Wishing Well, but Leap also caught a gorgeous shot of Lily on Dumbo with a bright smile and her princess sash waving in the wind.

5. Bring an Extra Pair of Shoes

If you have a special pair of shoes that go with the dress, you may want to bring an extra pair that is more comfortable. Lily would wear her fancy shoes when meeting a character and then change to her other shoes after the encounter.

6. Consider Splitting Up

There is limited seating in the boutique for people waiting and watching the royal makeovers and typically only two guests can accompany the child. If your child has siblings, it would be good if they could leave and do something else while the makeover is being done. Tad quickly became bored and did not want to sit in the boutique when he could be riding Space Mountain, so Leap took him while I waited and watched Lily's makeover.

7. There Are Options for All Genders

For tadpoles who aren't interested in a princess makeover, Bibbidi Bobbidi offers a Knight Package ($19.95 + tax) that includes hairstyling with gel, a sword and a shield. The Deluxe Knight Package ($79.95 + tax) adds a prince costume. Disney also will occasionally add more options, especially with the popularity of newer films like "Encanto".

8. Keep in Mind the Age Limit

Lily is only a tadpole, so she still has a lot of time left for a repeat visit to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique before she turns 12. For those older than 12 (including adults), a character-inspired transformation option has recently been added at salons across the Walt Disney World Resort. If this applies to you, make sure to check out our post on Disney’s Character Couture Makeovers for Adults.

Hi JJ!

Yes! There should be shoes for sale, though we tend to recommend that you bring your own because 1) it's more cost-effective, 2) your child can break in their shoes beforehand and 3) can't always guarantee that the right shoe size will be in stock when you visit.

The higher end packages state they include a Necklace or keepsake portrait session with finished prints, including a photo taken near Cinderella’s carriage, do you know if all packages have the option of adding the portrait session?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Belinda!

As far as we are aware of, there aren't photo sessions directly included with any of the Bibbidi Bobbidi packages. There are PhotoPass photographers who take photos during the experience and you can stop by Sir Mickey's photo studio after the transformation, but you would need to have Memory Maker to download those photos. You could also opt to do a Capture Your Moment photo shoot session.

Hi! In your opinion, is it better to book this during early theme park entry, or should I try to book this afterwards? We are staying on property, and although getting an early morning appointment is the goal, I don't know if I should book something during early entry since we have that advantage to use on attractions.

Reply
Feb 10, 2023 at 3:08 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Amy!

We would double-check hours for your specific visit date but sometimes, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique opens an hour before the park officially opens. If you're able to get one at the exact time that it opens (for instance, 8 a.m. when the park opens at 9 a.m.), then it may be worth sacrificing Early Entry (as the appointment could take up to an hour). But if they don't have a reservation until 8:30 a.m. when Early Entry starts, then we'd recommend taking advantage of going on rides with low wait times during Early Entry but scheduling a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation in the morning shortly after the park officially opens.

My 8-year-old "knight" has hair down to his waist. Do you happen to know what styling options they have for long-haired boys? The knight packages list "hairstyle with gel" but gel doesn't really make sense for long, straight hair.

Reply
Feb 8, 2023 at 9:01 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Liz!

The typical hairstyling for a Knight Package includes slicked-back hair with gel and "dragon scales" confetti. We're not toadally sure about options for longer hair or exactly what they'd be able to do, but we think the Fairy Godmother Apprentice could certainly modify or perhaps even accommodate any special requests.

Thank you so much for this post. I did have a question that I'm hoping you can give me some more clarity on. You stated there is an age limit up to 12 years old, but you stated that she was fine because you booked it when she was 12. Was she 12 when you visited? I'm only asking because i plan on booking our Disney trip and making all appointments when she is 12, but she will actually be 13 when we go. Will they still allow her to do it? I hate to think that she's going to miss out of something she's excited about. I did see the "Disney’s Character Couture Makeovers for Adults" you linked, but she really wants the full Cinderella experience and now i'm a little worried she will miss out.

Hi Ashley!

When you make a reservation for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique through My Disney Experience, you’ll need to add a princess (or prince!) to the reservation, which includes their age; over the phone, you’ll be asked their age. We wouldn’t think the slight age difference would make a difference in her getting to receive the Cinderella experience, but wanted to open it up to others in the Frog Pond who may have experience with this. Be sure to let us know how it goes!

Hi Sandy!

The Magic Kingdom location and the Disney Springs location both have a room with a carriage in it for photo ops. However, the Disney Springs location also includes a visit to the PhotoPass studio, where princesses can have their photos taken against different digital backdrops and with a few different props. The PhotoPass studio is close by, and it took about fifteen minutes in total for us to get about 30-40 professional photos. We thought it was worth it!

Hi Leslie!

Unfortunately these are subject to availability, and not all princess dresses will be available in all sizes. One way to guarantee a dress is to purchase it yourself through the Disney Store and bring it along with you (we've done this a few times - your princess is able to change in a dressing room beforehand).

The Fairy Godmothers in Training have all kinds of accessories, including clips, bows, etc. that your tadpole would still be able to take advantage of (plus glitter ... lots of glitter!). Part of the experience is also makeup and nail polish (even for the basic package), so while she may not get an elaborate up-do, she'll still get plenty of pixie dust.

Hoppy planning!

You mentioned purchasing a dress in advance and spoke briefly about sizing. The dress sizes available in the boutique only go up to 10 or 13, am I correct? My daughter is going to be 10 (celebrating her birthday in WDW in March 2020) and is already over 5' tall and usually needs a size 16 or 18. Will the boutiques not have sizes appropriate for her?

Hi Reagan,

At the boutique, the dress sizes range from 4T to Child 12/14. However, it's very common that many girls bring their own dresses from home or only get their hair and make-up done.

Just wondering what Disney princesses are there to choose from?

Hi Ellie,

If you were to get a package including a costume, the choices may include Anna, Elsa, Ariel, Snow White, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella, Tinker Bell, Tiana, Rapunzel or Merida (subject to change).

hi

I would like to book The Courtyard Package for my daughter when we come in Feb next year, can you explain a bit more about how it works.

do you have to buy the tutu and t-shirt on top of the price or is it included, do you get them in the shop beforehand or do they hand them out inside?

how many choices of princesses can you pick from with this package?

will the tutu and t-shirts be colour coordinated for the princess you choose?

I see you said about the one at Disney Springs has a special room to have pictures taken after, do they not have this in the castle one too?

and if we choose to go with the one is Disney Springs where do you get the outfit from and do they take the pictures while having it done as well as after?

Hi Jo!

These are great questions - how fun for your princess! If you book the Courtyard package, the tutu and t-shirt are included in the price. You'll get them from the Boutique itself at your appointment, and we believe the colors are all standard (not themed to the individual princess). If you were to get a package including a costume, those choices may include Anna, Elsa, Ariel, Snow White, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella, Tinker Bell, Tiana, Rapunzel or Merida. If you opt for the castle location, you can hop over to Castle Couture for photos; if at Disney Springs, you can hop over to the PhotoPass location there for a photo session. Both photo sessions are included if you have Memory Maker, or can be added on at an additional cost. For more information, the reservation line at (407) 939-7895 is extra hopful (and can also get your appointment on the books!).

I have heard the busses don't run early to Disney

springs. Do the water taxis?

Reply
May 6, 2019 at 9:25 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Sue!

Transportation via bus to Disney Springs begins about 45 minutes before it opens (it opens at 10 a.m., so bus transportation from a resort will start around 9:15 a.m.) Bus transportation to Disney Springs directly from the parks does start later in the day. Water taxis begin their service around 10:30 a.m. (though this can vary due to water and weather conditions).

We have booked at Disney Springs for October. My 4 year old will be super excited. I have purchased some dresses to bring. But I have 1 question, with the Crown Package, will this include a tiara or just the high bun?

Hi Beth!

The Crown Package will include a hairstyle of your choosing; if your daughter chooses the Fairytale Princess style, her hair will be pulled up into a high bun and a sparkly tiara.

This was a terrible disappointment for my daughter and myself. You pay for the experience of being treated special, but a hair dresser at Great clips talks to an adult better than the fairy godmother did to my daughter. She pulled my girl’s hair while while styling, and there was no smile, maybe she was having a bad day. While waiting inside the boutique, as I was taking pics of my daughter in her outfit, several godmothers just strolled by and photo bombed, with no excuse me’s, which I thought was rude in a normal place, and especially in a place like this. I must say some of the other fairy godmothers were treating the kids special, my daughter wasn’t lucky!!

Hi Theresa!

Here's an older example of the Knight package. The large majority of guests are princesses, but we've certainly seen some knights coming and going. If it's something your son will enjoy, we recommend it! There's also pirate makeovers available, and of course, a wide variety of costumes available in the shops.

You should be able to make it (though as you mentioned, it'll be a bit of a time crunch!) We'd recommend arriving a bit early to your BBB reservation and also calling and giving Cinderella's Royal Table a heads up, just in case :)

Will we be able to get into the park before it opens at 9? I thought I read somewhere you could get in early if you have a reservation before opening hours and provide your confirmation number but wasn't sure they would let us in since our appt isn't til 9:10... Also, how would I find the number to call CRT directly? Thanks!

Hi Amy!

You sure will! Guests are allowed onto Main Street U.S.A starting an hour before park opening (though there will be ropes draped across the entrances to all of the lands). Find a Cast Member near the castle that has a tablet or notepad, and they can confirm your reservation so you can head back.

Hi Jeni!

These can include a dress (but not shoes), sash, tiara, light up wand, a necklace and a backpack. This can very depending on which character your princess has in mind, so I'd recommend calling the reservation line to be certain. That number is (407) 939-7895.

Hi, we're visiting Disneyland in a few months and I'd love to get the princess makeover for my granddaughter. We're planning on getting the Maxpass which includes Photopass downloads for the day. Is the Memory Maker an entirely separate package/cost from that or is it considered part of the Photopass pictures? Thanks!

Hi Tim!

This is a great question.You'll be covered during your trip to Disneyland for attraction photos and Magic Shots with your MaxPass and PhotoPass downloads, as you mentioned, as Memory Maker is a comparable photo downloading package offered at Walt Disney World.

Both of my little princesses have an appointment at 6:20pm for their makeovers and Royal Table Reservations at 8 pm. I have purchased dresses for the occasion. Since we were unable to get early day reservations for both, do you have suggestions on what to do with the dresses while we are visiting the park earlier in the day? My princesses may not want to wear their dresses all day. Thanks for your help! Have a magical day!

Reply
Oct 22, 2018 at 10:12 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Katherine!

Our little princess wanted to wear her dress the WHOLE time, so she wore it to the appointment. This also gave us less to carry! We'd recommend one of the following packages if you already have your dress:

The Crown package ($64.95 + tax) includes hairstyling, makeup with a face gem, nail polish, princess sash and cinch bag.

The Courtyard package ($109.95 + tax) adds a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique T-shirt and tutu.

How long does the hairstyle last in the Florida heat? We have dinner reservations for 8 pm at 1900 park fare. We're going to Disney springs location on a non-park day. Should we schedule earliest available at 930 am or opt for later 3 pm time to ensure her hair and makeup stay nice for dinner? Daughter is 4.

Hi Ronda,

The Fairy Godmothers-in-Training are very considerate of the Florida heat. The style is a comfortable, secure up-do that should last a while. We recommend grabbing an early appointment so your little one can enjoy feeling like royalty all day! We've had other members of the Frog Pond tell us that the hairstyle has even lasted through the next day, if slept on gently!

Hi! My daughter actually had the same "godmother in training" as in your photos! However, I did not find her to be very friendly and was disappointed that other stylists were much more cheerful and engaging. Did I catch her on an off day or was your experience similar? My daughter would like to do it again but I'm hesitant since I didn't think it was as good as it should have been.
