How do you get pixie dusted at Disney World?

In the Disney theme parks, cruise ships, and related spaces, pixie dust is a fine glitter powder that cast members sprinkle on guests. Often this takes place at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique salons, provided as a finishing touch after a princess makeover, but sometimes they'll offer a pixie dusting to any guest.



In 2026, "getting pixie dusted" refers to two different experiences: a literal sprinkling of glitter and a figurative moment of "Disney Magic." For the literal version, you can visit Sir Mickey’s in Fantasyland or the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique check-in desk and simply ask a Cast Member for a "Pixie Dusting." They will use a magic wand to sprinkle colorful glitter over your hair while making a wish; this service is completely free and available to guests of all ages. For the figurative version—receiving a random act of kindness like a free snack, a front-of-line pass, or a room upgrade—there is no guaranteed method, but being exceptionally kind and polite to Cast Members is the best way to increase your chances. Celebrating a special occasion with a free "celebration button" (e.g., "1st Visit" or "Happy Birthday") also makes you more visible for these rare moments of magic. Ultimately, pixie dust is at the discretion of the staff, but wearing a smile and engaging in friendly conversation is the most effective way to invite it.
