Have Baby's First Haircut at Walt Disney World


There are many magical firsts for children at Disney World, but one of the most special experiences is getting their first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop. I had the joy of taking two of my children there when they were each just two years old, and the experience was truly unforgettable. It's like a rite of passage for our family! Disney turns an ordinary milestone into a cherished memory with their special First Haircut Package, and I want to share all the details so YOU can create this magical moment, too!

Located on Main Street, U.S.A., Harmony Barber Shop is a charming, old-fashioned barbershop that many guests walk right past without realizing its a functioning barber shop! Anyone can get a haircut or beard trim here, but the First Haircut Package is what I love most!

The First Haircut Package is $28.00 and includes:

  • A keepsake certificate with their name and their barbers name
  • A lock of your child’s hair in a small pouch
  • Special Mickey ears embroidered with “First Haircut”
  • A sprinkle of pixie dust on their hair for extra magic if they'd like
  • *it doesn't include gratuity, which must be in cash*

The barbers at Harmony Barber Shop are incredibly patient and experienced with young children. They know how to make kids feel comfortable, whether that means singing songs, using gentle reassurance, or even letting them sit on a parent’s lap during the cut. My little ones were both a bit squirmy, but the cast members worked their magic to keep them engaged and happy throughout the process by offering them stickers or toys to hold. 

Both of my children had different reactions—one was completely fascinated by the stickers and toys, while the other was a little unsure. However, the barbers kept her entertained, and by the end, they both looked adorable with their fresh cuts! Seeing them wear their Mickey ears with pride was a moment I’ll never forget.

Reservations:

Due to its popularity, it’s best to make a reservation in advance through the My Disney Experience app or Disney’s website. Same-day appointments may be available, but they fill up quickly. You can book them 60 days before your arrival. Walk-ins are accepted, but availability is limited. If this experience is a must-do for your family, I highly recommend booking ahead of time.

Mornings tend to be less crowded, and kids are often in a better mood earlier in the day. I scheduled my daughters this past January for 1 p.m. because I wanted her to have had lunch and some rides before she took a nap in my favorite Magic Kingdom napping spot (Hall of Presidents).


The First Haircut at Harmony Barber Shop is an experience I’d recommend to any Disney-loving parent. It is definitely a core memory that you and your child will treasure forever.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th...

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, the agents rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. We received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view! We arrived to a welcome basket of various fr...
