If you’re sailing with Disney Cruise Line with kids, you may have some questions about the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. As a travel advisor and mom of four, I am here to help! Here is all you need to know from princess transformations to knight makeovers to adventurous sea captains onboard a Disney Cruise ship. 

Keep reading for more info on all things Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique onboard DCL, including what to expect, pricing, reservation tips, and whether it’s worth it for your family.

What is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on Disney Cruise Line?

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a themed makeover experience designed for children ages 3-12. During an appointment, the child is transformed into royalty by a Disney cast member known as a “fairy godmother in training.” 

On Disney Cruise Line, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is offered on select ships and provides a quieter, more relaxed experience than BBB in the Disney parks. Plus, you get to show off your look around the ship, posing with your favorite Disney princesses and characters!

Currently, you can find Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and Walt Disney World and onboard all of the Disney Cruise Line ships, including:

• Disney Wish
• Disney Treasure
• Disney Wonder
• Disney Magic
• Disney Fantasy
• Disney Dream
• Disney Destiny
• Disney Adventure

What to Expect During a Visit to BBB

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointments typically last between 30-45 minutes, depending on the package chosen. Typically, here is the flow:

• Check in at the boutique a few minutes before your appointed time. 
• Take time to select your costume or outfit. If you brought your own, you can change into your preferred costume.
• Hair styling with a pixie dusting
• Light make up and accessories 
• The big reveal!

Parents can stay nearby and watch the transformation and offer support, as needed. The cast members are fantastic at making each child feel well celebrated!

Best Day and Time to Book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on your Disney Cruise

The best timing will depend on your child’s age, routine and your cruise plans. In general, sea days, before Pirate Night, and earlier in the day may be the best times to plan your BBB experience to maximize your time.

Avoid scheduling too close to naps, excursions, or dinner times if possible.

What to Bring (and Not Bring) to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on Disney Cruise Line

You don’t need to bring too much, as Disney has it covered, but here are few things to consider bringing. If you don’t want to purchase a costume in the shop, pack your own dress or favorite attire! Include comfortable shoes, especially for younger kids, as they may not want to toddle around the ship in princess shoes.

If your little one has specific hair needs, pack your own small brush, comb or hair ties, if needed. Cast members will handle everything else, including styling and cleanup.

Is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Worth it on Disney Cruise Line?

For many families and kids with princess, prince, or pirate dreams, BBB is worth it on Disney Cruise Line. Does your child want a unique Disney magical experience onboard? Do you value high quality costumes and styling opportunities? Are incredible photo opportunities with your little one in full costume and make up with their favorite Disney princess or character important to you? It is a true once-in-a-kid-lifetime experience for many families!

What are some cons? It can be a pricey experience. If it is going to stress your cruise budget and your family, save your dollars and know that the entire DCL experience is magical on its own. There can be limited availability, so try not to be too disappointed if it doesn’t work out. Believe me-your child can still feel royal onboard, regardless!

Pro Tips from a Disney Cruise Planner

Here are a few bonus tips from a travel agent specializing in Disney vacations (and mom of 4!)

• Book as soon as your reservation window opens. You can cancel up to 3 days before your cruise. If you change your mind once onboard, go visit Guest Services or BBB in person to discuss your situation.
• Plan BBB on a day when you have plenty of time for photos afterward.
• Budget in advance, especially if you are paying for multiple kids.
• Partner your BBB experience with your favorite character meet and greets or special dinners.
• Always book with a travel planner experienced with Disney! We can help you navigate through it all, and your cruise fare stays the same!
