I hate that my first thought went cynical with this, and that having a character experience here is to help with low bookings. Maybe next we’ll get in room characters that tuck you into bed to boost room bookings.

That's always my first thought on stuff like this. But I think appointments are still hard to come by.

My thought is that they will try to use the character enhancement to bump up the price.

I think it depends on the day, there have been some reports of CMs being out front of BBB with signs that there is walk up availability - so I think not as hard to come by as in the past, but definitely still pretty popular

I am interested in the pricing as well - as mentioned above, I don't think it as popular as in the past and with the cost of other things increasing (LL, etc) I think this is one thing that people could cut to stay in budget - so I assume they will still have a range, but definitely could see the upper end package going way up in price as the folks with $ to pay for that will pay more

For an upcoming fall trip, BBB was the hardest reservation to get, more so than Beak and Barrel. That said, it’s hard to gauge demand when their capacity is so limited and the other locations haven’t reopened. It doesn’t take a lot for them to fill up. Maybe they’re planning on reopening the other locations and trying to get ahead of the game on filling those reservations? Otherwise it feels like it would make more sense to offer some kind of limited edition summer only makeover to fill those spots (kinda assuming it’s summer that’s lagging, as we’re going on a very slow week based on ticket prices and BBB still booked up right away.)

Fairy godmother used to be out in the park. Are we to assume now that she is available but only for customers of the boutique?

Today is my 60 day mark. My 10 year old daughter and I will be in Disney November 16-23. I had our schedule all planned out in preparation to book BBB and our dining ADRs. The original plan was to book BBB and CRT for Tuesday 11/18. This is a party day so I really thought I wouldn’t have any trouble booking this as MK is usually less crowded on party days.
Imagine my surprise when I logged in at exactly 12am and BBB was unavailable for the entire day. I knew I’d be at a slight disadvantage because we are checking in on a Sunday but I really didn’t think it would be completely booked. I quickly switched my search to the entire week and literally the only thing available was for Saturday 11/22. Our last full day. Not what I wanted at all. But of course, I booked it anyway.
Then I had to quickly scramble to rearrange our entire week so I could continue on with our ADRs at 6am. Thankfully I was able to secure CRT for 11/22 but again, not what I wanted at all.
So this is proof that yes, BBB is still a tricky reservation to get. And yes I know there is a chance that something could open up for Tuesday at the last minute but now that our other ADRs are booked, making changes isn’t really an option.
