The product is a great way to transform your children’s favourite superheroes, but only the royals can afford it.<\/p>\n

Booking the Makeover Experience can be extremely difficult.
You can save up to a third of the money you spend on holidays.
Secure a place, but the price might make you wet your pants.<\/p>\n

Prices start at $100 (\u00a380) for the basic package which includes a t-shirt rather than a dress. <\/p>\n

The children will have their nails and make-up applied, as well as their hair styled. <\/p>\n

However, if your little one wants the full makeover package, dress and all, you won\u2019t get much change out of $250 (\u00a3200).<\/p>\n

BUT there’s a simple way to gift your child with the Bibbidi Bobbidi Shop
Enjoy a luxurious experience at a reasonable price. <\/p>\n

Travelling with a seven-year-old Disney-mad girl, I knew that a \u2018princess\u2019 experience would be high on her agenda on our trip to Disney World last month.<\/p>\n

Instead, I went down the PIY route \u2013 princess it yourself!<\/p>\n

Sabrina, although she loves Encanto, Moana, and other princesses, is a big fan of dressing as a princess. I chose the sparkly pink Sleeping Beauty gown because it was the right choice. <\/p>\n

The cost of the dress in the parks is upwards of $60 (\u00a348) so I took matters into my own hands. <\/p>\n

A quick look on second hand app, Vinted, and I soon found an unused Sleeping Beauty dress from the Disney Store for $20 (\u00a316).<\/p>\n

If Vinted or Ebay don\u2019t come up with the goods, there are plenty of

Sabrina’s Royal Makeover was my first priority on the Magic Kingdom day.<\/p>\n

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique usually style little girls\u2019 hair in a
bun, something my daughter doesn\u2019t like, so I did a simple hairstyle
Make-up on and we’re off!<\/p>\n

Already dressed liked royalty, we still wanted an \u2018experience\u2019 so we
headed straight for Sir Mickey\u2019s \u2013 a shop in Fantasyland just behind
Cinderella\u2019s Castle that you can\u2019t miss as it\u2019s overrun by a giant
beanstalk. <\/p>\n

If you ask the staff (nicely), they’ll cover you with fairy dust.
very fine glitter \u2013 the same used in the BBB experience. <\/p>\n

This is a great way to complete a princess makeover. The actors will use a magic wand, and cast spells.<\/p>\n

The other thing about Sir Mickey\u2019s that some guests won\u2019t realise is
The castle photo studio is located there. <\/p>\n

Studio has medieval set up and props for your child to look their best. <\/p>\n

Professional photographers are available to take photos and upload them directly into your My Disney Experience app. <\/p>\n

The photo package was included in our ticket, and we did not need to spend any additional money for the wonderful photos that made my little girl feel like a true princess.<\/p>\n

So with a Vinted dress, some fairy dust and a castle photoshoot \u2013 your prince or princess can have a very similar BBB experience for around $20 (\u00a316) on top of your ticket price, saving more than \u00a3170.<\/p>\n

However, if you are looking for a more professional and
Disney Make-over Artists are available to come right to your resort or villa if you’re looking for something a little more special than BBB.<\/p>\n

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Disney World \u2013 like so many other
companies \u2013 let go of a lot of staff. <\/p>\n

Former Disney employees joined together and set up a Facebook group \u2013 Ear for Each Other (EFEO) to promote their businesses and help them get back on their feet and there are plenty of make-over options to choose from.<\/p>\n

Nil Princess Glam<\/a> Disney World was my employer for 6 years. I worked as both a wedding stylist and hair designer. <\/p>\n

Like many others, she had to set up her own business after the pandemic \u2013 making over little girls and boys ready for the park.<\/p>\n

Nil can come to your hotel as early as 5am and transform anyone of any age into their favourite prince, pirate, or princess, from just $110 (\u00a388). <\/p>\n

Anything from intricate Elsa locks to terrific Tiana \u2013 Nil can create colourful and extravagant hairstyles and make-up to brighten anyone\u2019s day. <\/p>\n
