Royal Portrait Studio at Magic Kingdom Closes Ahead of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Updates

On-site signs point to preparations for early-October changes to the makeover experience.

Overview

  • The PhotoPass Royal Portrait Studio inside Sir Mickey’s in Fantasyland is closed to guests, with large blue curtains blocking the space.
  • A permit was filed to install scenic and prop elements along with audio and lighting equipment, signaling reconfiguration work in the area.
  • PhotoPass Cast Members were seen near the back of Cinderella Castle, which reporters suggest could relate to a forthcoming Fairy Godmother meet-and-greet in early October.
  • Disney previously announced Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique changes starting in early October, including simplified package options and visits from the Fairy Godmother.
  • Some outlets describe the studio’s closure as permanent, but Disney has not issued confirmation of the location’s long-term status while Sir Mickey’s retail remains open.
