Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for older child

[Darth Insidious]

My older daughter will be 12 during our visit, so still young enough for the BBB makeover. She really wants to do this with her little sister. She’s definitely too big for any kid sized costumes, so I will bring a costume for her. I will probably buy one on Etsy since she usually wears women’s small clothes. She looks older (about 14-15).

She told me today she wants to be a character with a ball gown. I read the rules. At her age, it seems like this would be allowed, as long as it’s not dragging on the floor. I could hem it to an inch off the ground. Do you think they’ll allow it since she looks older? Certainly little kids run around in the deluxe costumes.

Here are a couple of potential costumes. Thank you for any info/suggestions!

I think that it should be fine as long as it's obvious that she's a kid in a costume. Like, no wigs and stuff that would make her look too in character, if that makes sense.

She’s within the age limits. You will be fine. Go enjoy and take tons of photos. I hope you have a magical trip.

While she may be allowed to wear those, will they be comfortable for walking around an amusement park and will she have difficulty riding on rides?

She will look gorgeous and have so much fun!
When are you going? If you’re there when I am, I know my friend Cinderella would love to meet her

Good point. Thank you. She will have her hair done at the BBB so that should help.

Fair point. The day we are doing this, we’d be watching the parade, eating at CRT or BOG, and meeting princesses. She does not like rides but I could see her maybe doing the slow ones. My best guess is she’d find it fun for a couple of hours and then change clothes (so I will need a good plan for carrying the dress- rent a stroller, lol?)

Awww. Thank you. We will be there 2/14-2/25. Hopefully it won’t be too hot on makeover day I’m just pretty excited she wants to be a kid and do this. They’re always trying to be older these days, but if there’s any place to be a kid, it’s Magic Kingdom.

Rent one of the big lockers! That type of dress can fold up surprisingly small in one of those air tight travel bags.

Be sure to schedule lots of time for photos around the park. Maybe consider a "Capture Your Moment" session that day.

Thanks. I figured rolling it in a bag might work. Good to know the locker might be big enough!

Thanks! We had a lot of fun with the costumes back in the day.
