How to Get a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Reservation (Even When It’s Sold Out)
Planning a Disney World trip? One magical goal for many parents is getting your child into Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (BBB) — the salon experience that creates memories kids (and parents!) will treasure forever.
Reservations vanish almost instantly, but don’t worry — in this guide, you’ll learn:
- Why BBB is so hard to book
- Proven tips to improve your odds
- What to do if every slot seems sold out
This guide will show you how to maximize your chances and take the stress out of booking this popular experience. (For the bigger picture on Disney’s toughest bookings, see our guide to getting hard-to-book Disney World reservations.)
What is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique?
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (often called BBB) is a salon experience for children ages 3 to 12, where Fairy Godmothers-in-Training give princess and knight makeovers. The most popular location is inside Magic Kingdom, right next to Cinderella Castle. There’s also a second boutique at Disney Springs.
Each package includes hairstyling, makeup, nail polish, and accessories. Premium options add costumes and keepsakes. It’s one of the most unforgettable Disney experiences — which is exactly why it’s so hard to book.
Why is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique so hard to book?
BBB is hard to book because it’s a small salon with limited daily appointments and enormous demand. A few specifics make spots disappear fast:
- Reservations open 60 days in advance at 6:00 AM ET.
- Disney resort guests can book 60 days + length of stay.
- Cancellations happen randomly — often late night or early morning.
- Morning slots before Cinderella’s Royal Table disappear in minutes.
It’s a small venue, and the demand is massive. Even checking the moment it opens doesn’t guarantee a spot.
How do you get a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation?
You get a BBB reservation by booking the moment it opens at your 60-day mark, staying flexible on time and location, and using an alert to catch cancellations. Here are four proven ways to improve your odds.
1. Use the 60+ Rule
Disney resort guests get an advantage: you can book 60 days before your trip plus the length of your stay. Mark that date on your calendar — this is your best chance to snag reservations for all days of your vacation, including the last few, often overlooked slots.
2. Be Flexible
If you can’t find a morning slot, try afternoon times or look at the Disney Springs location, which sometimes has more openings.
3. Keep Checking
Guests cancel all the time. Check during quiet hours like late night or early morning, when new openings often appear.
4. Let Technology Help You
Instead of waking up every day to refresh the app, you can set an alert through BookADream.
We monitor Disney’s reservation system 24/7 and notify you the moment a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique spot opens — giving you a real edge over everyone constantly refreshing.

What if Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is completely sold out?
Don’t give up — a sold-out BBB usually just means every current slot is taken, and spots reopen as families change plans, even days before a trip. Many BookADream users get alerts for last-minute openings just before their vacation.
If your child really has their heart set on the full princess experience, you can also book a Cinderella’s Royal Table meal inside the castle and bring a favorite princess dress from home. The magic still feels just as real.
Or consider a mini-makeover at your resort using Disney princess kits — it’s not official BBB, but kids still feel magical.
