Disney has announced more changes coming to its domestic theme parks.

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Experience at Disney’s U.S. Theme Parks
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique remains one of Disney’s most enchanting offerings for young guests. It gives children ages three to 12 the chance to step into a fairytale world with the help of Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices.
Located at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, the boutique is a popular destination for families looking to add a little extra magic to their visit. At Walt Disney World, the boutique can be found inside the iconic Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, while Disneyland Resort’s version is nestled within the courtyard of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Fantasyland, creating a storybook-perfect backdrop for the transformation.

The experience itself is designed to make children feel like royalty or courageous knights. Disney cast members in character as Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices help children select from a range of makeover packages.
Princess-themed options typically include hairstyling, shimmering makeup, nail polish, and accessories, with the choice of adding a gown inspired by favorite Disney princesses such as Cinderella, Ariel, or Elsa. For those seeking something different, knight packages offer styled hair with colorful gel, along with a sword and shield to complete the look.
Packages vary in scope and price depending on whether guests bring their own costumes or opt for the full castle experience, including gowns, accessories, and even a portrait photo session.

Disney’s PhotoPass photographers are often available to capture the big reveal, ensuring families have keepsake images of the special moment. Due to the boutique’s popularity, reservations are highly recommended, with booking windows typically opening 60 days in advance, and resort guests often enjoy earlier access.
While the boutique is designed specifically for children, its immersive atmosphere makes it a standout Disney offering. From the royal salon décor to the whimsical storytelling from the apprentices, each visit feels like a one-of-a-kind experience that extends beyond simple dress-up.
For many families, a stop at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is an activity and a memory-making highlight of their Disney vacation, transforming an ordinary day at the parks into a fairytale adventure (at least most of the time).

Disney Changing the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Experience Next Month
Big changes are coming to one of Disney’s most beloved offerings for young guests, as the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Walt Disney World and Disneyland prepares to introduce new experiences this fall.
Beginning in early October 2025, the Fairy Godmother will appear at the boutique locations inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom and near Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park. These visits will add a fresh layer of magic to the makeover process, allowing children to enjoy a rare, in-person interaction with the iconic character as Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices transform them.

Alongside this exciting character addition, Disney is also simplifying the makeover packages offered at the boutique. While specific details on the restructured options have not yet been revealed, the goal is to make the selection process easier for families.
Currently, packages range widely in scope and price, from the budget-friendly Knight Package starting around $19.95 to the more elaborate Princess Signature Dress Package at $450. Options in between include the Carriage Package, Castle Package, Deluxe Castle Package, and even themed transformations like the Disney Encanto Package. With the updates, guests can expect a streamlined set of offerings that still deliver the whole fairytale experience while cutting down on confusion during the booking process.

For many, these enhancements reflect Disney’s continued push to keep its in-park storytelling immersive and interactive. By adding the Fairy Godmother into the mix, the boutique moves beyond just hairstyling and costumes, creating a narrative-driven encounter that ties directly into the magic of the parks’ most famous castles.
With the simplified packages, Disney is poised to capitalize on this beloved (yet lucrative) element of a Disney theme park vacation.
