Hello Debra,
Being a fellow Brit I can totally imagine how your dear family might be feeling after their long 9 hour or so flight from the United Kingdom, plus the transfer from the airport before finally arriving at the beautiful
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas ~ Kidani Village.
On that 1st evening after arriving and checking-in at Walt Disney World Resort my general advice to you would be to settle into your room and perhaps take a stroll around the Resort just to soak up the atmosphere and familiarise yourselves with your new and interesting
African surroundings before trying to gain a good nights rest to begin your 1st
real Disney day as Happy, not Sleepy nor indeed Grumpy!
There can be no where better on earth than Walt Disney World Resort to celebrate your dear sons 10th birthday and I can just imagine how excited both you and he must be feeling about it. Be sure to collect a complimentary
'I'm celebrating' badge at any Guest Services; wearers of these nice keepsakes often get wished a Happy Birthday by Cast Members and other Guests alike.
You might like to arrange a cake for your birthday boy by speaking with a Cast Member at least 72 hours in advance on the number found within this
Customise Your Special Occasion link which also contains some other magical birthday ideas and suggestions.
Wishing you a wonderful August holiday and birthday at Walt Disney World Resort making magical memories with your lovely children which are sure to last an entire lifetime.
~ Jane
