Our visit to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom was nothing short of enchanting! From the moment we stepped inside, the Fairy Godmothers-in-Training made us feel like royalty. The attention to detail and the personalized care they provided made the experience truly magical for our little ones.

Mackynlee chose the stunning Aurora dress, and she looked absolutely radiant after her transformation! The Fairy Godmothers-in-Training made her feel so special, taking their time to style her hair, add makeup, and sprinkle in plenty of pixie dust. When she saw her final look in the mirror, her face lit up with pure joy—it was a moment we’ll never forget.

Micah also had his magical moment, receiving a sword and shield fit for a brave knight. The staff made him feel like a true hero, and he was so proud to carry them around the park for the rest of the day.

The boutique itself is beautifully themed, and the entire experience feels like stepping into a fairytale. The staff went above and beyond to make sure both Mackynlee and Micah had an unforgettable time, and their kindness and patience were so appreciated.

Seeing our children beam with happiness all day long was worth every penny. The joy and memories Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique created for our family are truly priceless. We highly recommend it for anyone visiting Magic Kingdom with young children!

✈️ Tips for Keeping Your Child Entertained on a Flight! 🧸

Flying with kids doesn’t have to be stressful! With a little preparation, you can make it a fun experience for everyone. Here are some of my favorite tips for keeping your little one entertained during the flight:
1. Pack a Surprise Bag 🎁
Fill a small bag with new toys, coloring books, stickers, or puzzles. Unwrapping something new keeps them excited and occupied!
2. Download Movies & Shows 🎥
Load their favorite movies or shows onto a tablet or device before the flight. Don’t forget headphones designed for kids!
3. Bring Snacks 🍎
Keep a variety of their favorite snacks handy. Bonus: snacks double as a distraction when they’re feeling restless.
4. Travel Games & Activities 🎲
Magnetic board games, activity books, or handheld games can provide hours of entertainment.
5. Creative Play ✏️
Pack crayons, markers, and a small notebook for drawing or doodling. You can also play simple games like tic-tac-toe or hangman.
6. Read Together 📚
Bring along a few favorite books or pick a new one to read together. Short stories or activity books work great for younger kids.
7. Stretch Breaks 🚶‍♀️
When the seatbelt sign is off, let them stretch or walk up and down the aisle to burn off a little energy.
