Hi, Patricia! A birthday at Walt Disney World Resort is the very best place to celebrate!
According to the
Disney Parks calendar page, most parks close by 8:00 pm on January 21st. There are two wonderful character experiences you could try to reserve at a monorail resort. First, there is
Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort. The restaurant is a fun place for the kids and adults. Both my tween and teen love the restaurant. There is a massive buffet that will meet the interests of all types of eaters. While you graze, some of the most popular characters visit your table. Including Mickey Mouse!
Another special buffet experience is at
1900 Park Fare in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Along with a lot of yummy food, your group will have a chance to meet many of the characters from the animated movie, Cinderella.
My daughter and son have celebrated birthdays at both restaurants. I know family members of all ages can enjoy the experience.
I hope you have a wonderful family celebration at Walt Disney World and your birthday dinner is a grand success. Let me know if I can help with any other questions you have before your big trip!
