It is no secret that Disney World is the most magical place on Earth, but there are pockets of extra magic folded in throughout. One of them is the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, where kids' wildest dreams actually come true. Here's what you need to know about the whole experience.
The Boutique is hidden...inside Cinderella's castle, of course!
The beauty parlor can only be found inside the iconic castle, right smack in the middle of Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
It's an entire glam experience.
And it begins the moment your princess-to-be, who can be anywhere from 3-12 years old, sits down in the hairdresser's chair! Her options are basically limitless: she can choose to transform into Tinkerbell, Sleeping Beauty, Anna, Cinderella, and more! The transformation is comprehensive. Not only does she get a new hairdo and tiara for the day, but she also gets a dress and matching shoes as well.
You can get creative.
Even though Cinderella might not have had braids, the Fairy Godmothers-in-Training at the Boutique can give you that. They're also skilled at princess buns, of course.
If princesses aren't your thing, there's still plenty for you at the park!
Are you feeling more of a pirate look? Over by Pirates of the Caribbean, the Pirates League will give you a similar, head-to-toe makeover...except, you know, to become a pirate! Otherwise, Disney's new Character Couture Packages offer transformations into other Disney icons (whether they be heroines or villains). Those are available to people of all ages.
You can choose from different magical packages.
The "Crown" package costs $64.95 and includes a hairstyling, nails, makeup, a bag, and a princess sash. The packages go up in price through the Princess Signature Dress Collection, which is $450 for a custom-made princess dress and more.
The experience doesn't end there.
After your glam, you can head to Princess Storybook Dining at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot. It's there that you can actually hang out with all the Disney princesses, let alone the one you've become! Throughout breakfast, they come around to all the tables to hang out and give hugs.
PS — it's recommended you make a reservation for this particular breakfast as far in advance as possible, as spots fill up super quickly.
The food is fairy tale-worthy.
Akershus's breakfast features a huge Scandinavian spread, with options of a self-serve buffet or table service. There's everything from smoked fish to delicious pastries, which'll keep moms and dads happy (...not that the magic of it all wouldn't!).
