Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

(Article updated January 31, 2019)

Much like the Fairy Godmother helped Cinderella become a princess, Disney’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique makes dreams come true for young imaginations. Enchanting elements like hairstyling, makeup, royal garments and, of course, the correct crown come together with proper pampering to produce princess perfection.

Each Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is “owned” by Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother. In order to manage magic meaningfully, she relies on Fairy Godmothers-in-training to transform children into royal readiness. Locations around the world (California, Florida, China, and Japan) offer this exciting enchantment for children ages 3-12. Royal transformations take place on board Disney Cruise lines as well.

Magic is made around the world

With a variety of exciting enchantments, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique’s magical make-overs materialize at many different levels.  Prices range from around $60 to $595 (these can vary overseas depending on currency conversion). Princess Packages vary from location to location. Some parks may have alternative options; others may be limited in styles.

Royal Proclamations: things to keep in mind

  • Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is extremely popular and reservations are strongly suggested.
  • Costume sizes and styles may be limited or unavailable (and can change at any given time); one suggestion is to bring fitted, pre-purchased attire.
  • Magic is serious business and can take anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour for full transformation, so plan accordingly. All guests under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Some locations also offer PhotoPass add-on packages, inquire at time of reservation. At the very least, don’t forget to bring a camera to take before, during, and after images.
