We have been fortunate to go to both but on our recent trip we got to visit the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique inside Cinderella's Castle. My girls were so excited for their princess makeover. When we arrived they were given Royal Invitations that had their names on them. While we were waiting we had the chance to review the 3 choices of hair styles. There are also 3 package types to choose from (you need to decide when you make your reservations)
Girls 3 years old and above can choose from 3 hair styles — Fairytale Princess, Disney Diva and Pop Princess — in 3 available packages:
- Coach Package includes hairstyling and shimmering makeup
- Crown Package includes hairstyling, shimmering makeup and nails
- Castle Package includes the Crown Package plus the Imaging Package (one 6" x 8" and four 4" x 6" photos in a princess-themed photo holder) and complete costume of your choice with accessories
Our Fairy Godmother told us that the hairstyles can last up to 7 days, and can get wait but you may have to do some touch ups. My girls only left it in for one day and then they wanted it out. Also keep in mind to make your reservations early, do not wait until you get to Disney. The packages are pricey and one way to save money is to purchase a princess gown at home, even paint your daughters nails before you arrive or afterwards. I have to say it is worth every penny to see the look of excitement and the joy the little girls have walking around the park decked out like a princess.
