How hard is it to get a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation on the Dream?

[Mighty Mouse Mama]

We will be taking our first cruise on the 4 night Eastern Carribean on the Dream on Dec 11. My DD5 is so excited about meeting the Princesses and is dying to look like one too. I'd love to get her an appointment at BBB. How possible is that? Is it as hard as getting a cabana at CC? Are there days/times that might still be available by the time my booking window opens? Any input is welcome.

It's not. Or at least we didn't find it to be. Since it is your first cruise, all of your activities will open up 75 days out to book. That is when BBB comes open too. My brother not only had time to book the initial appointment for my twin nieces the day after it opened, but move it to another day the next morning, then just last week he had to change something with it because he selected the wrong package and STILL got it at the time and day he wanted and at this point we're a month out. We had no problems and this is our first cruise too.

That's great to know! I had seen someone mention being able to get a booking there as a benefit of booking concierge and it had me worried that it might be one of those things that sells out before newbies can book it. Thanks for the info and enjoy your cruise!

You must mean you are on a 4 night Bahamas cruise?

I mean, having said that if you have your heart set on it, I'd do it as soon as you can so you get the time and day you want. So at 75 days out, get in to your Disney cruise account, get into Activities, view/manage the day you want her to do BBB, then it's under Onboard Fun from there.

At least that's how it is as of today. They could change the layout by the time your check in site goes live.

As others have said, I'm sure you'll be fne at 75 days out, but I just wanted to throw it out there that entirely last minute, I decided my girls would love the Pirates League makeover for Pirate Night, but I couldn't get an online BBB resi.for them. So, as soon as we boarded, I went right up to BBB and got 3 appts for them on embarkation day!

Yes, that's right. Why...is there anything different about that itinerary?

Thanks for that info too! I didn't realize that they might have some space set aside for people making ressies on the ship. Makes sense though.

Bahamas - the 4-night - is Nassau and Castaway Cay.

Eastern Caribbean is a 7-night and goes to some combination of San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, or Tortola along with Castaway Cay.

Oh! Thanks! Sorry...still figuring out all the terms here. I'm trying to do as much research as possible (because I'm an obsessive nut and don't want to screw up anything or miss something important), but it's still mostly a gigantic jumble to me. Thanks for the clarification.
