Hello there Avery!
Thank you for submitting your question and welcome to planDisney! I always love answering questions from fellow Canadians like me, and since I grew up in Quebec that makes us province neighbours! I see your vacation is coming soon, you must be so excited! I just celebrated my birthday at the Walt Disney World Resort for the first time myself and it was so magical, especially during
The World's Most Magical Celebration!
First, you can definitely reschedule your Disney vacation! You can change the date of your theme park tickets at any time before they are used through your My Disney Experience Account. You will be able to change the start date of your theme park ticket to whenever you would like to reschedule, just be aware that fees due to price differences may apply. If you have any issues rescheduling your tickets, I would recommend getting in contact with a
Guest Relations Cast Member via chat, email or phone and they will be able to work their magic for you! As for your resort reservation, you can simply reschedule your reservation by calling the
Disney Reservation Center.
Second, there are so many ways to make your best friend's birthday extra special while staying at a Disney Resort Hotel! A first recommendation I have for you is to look into
ordering a Mickey Mouse Celebration specialty cake. With engraving options available, you can ask to have "Happy Birthday" written on the ears to make it extra special! The cake can be delivered at a
participating Table-Service restaurant if you have a special reservation planned, or
directly to your Disney Resort Hotel room. In addition, you can also order a special cake from
Amorette's Patisserie at Disney Springs which is known for its intricate and beautiful designs! Another service Disney offers is
Disney Floral & Gifts which allows you to deliver thoughtful gifts such as Celebratory Baskets, Disney-themed floral arrangements and gifts, and balloon bouquets seven days a week. Simply visit the
Disney Floral & Gifts website or
get in contact with a Dream Maker so they can help you design the perfect gift for the occasion. For me, however, a birthday celebration is never complete without a Happy Birthday button! You can get a free button at your Resort's lobby or at most merchandise locations.
I hope this was helpful, Avery, and I am sending you all the pixie dust for your upcoming Disney trip. I am honoured that I was able to help you plan your best friend's special day and I hope they have the best day ever! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions, we are always happy to help!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
