Greetings, Prudence! Welcome to planDisney. How very sweet of you to be planning special
birthday surprises for your grandson’s visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Prudence, as of right now, the
Disneyland Resort Room Celebration offering is still unavailable. However, I can help you with some other ideas to make your grandson’s birthday magical!
You can pick up a
complimentary birthday button for your grandson at a Disney gift shop, at City Hall at Disneyland Park or at Guest Services at Disney California Adventure Park. You can get “I’m celebrating” buttons for yourself and the rest of your party and write in your grandson’s name!
You could consider adding a delicious
Mickey Mouse Celebration Cake to your meal! There are select table-service restaurants where this is available: Blue Bayou Restaurant, Café Orleans, Lamplight Lounge, River Belle Terrace and Wine Country Trattoria. You can order the cake in-person at the host stand at the restaurant or at the Concierge Desk at your Disneyland Resort Hotel. For same day orders, it will need to be done at the restaurant. The bill for the cake will be added to your meal.
Though you may not be able to get balloons delivered to your room, you could certainly get festive balloons on Main Street, U.S.A. and take some colorful photos around the park!
Speaking of photos, if you add the
Disney Genie+ service to your day (which is a great way to get on attractions more quickly, using
Lightning Lanes) you will have access to unlimited digital downloads through
Disney PhotoPass. At the time of getting your photo taken, within the
Disneyland mobile app, tap on “Photos” and go to “Show PhotoPass Code” for the
Disney PhotoPass Photographer to scan it. You'll find these photographers at multiple locations throughout the park (map available in the app.) When we celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Disneyland Resort, I printed one of our family photos and put it in a special Disney frame I purchased at one of the gift shops. This was a wonderful keepsake from our trip.
You could consider giving your grandson a Disney Gift Card that he can use to purchase a magical souvenir. You’ll find Disney Gift Cards available at any gift shop.
Prudence, I surely hope your space ranger’s birthday is fabulous, to infinity and beyond! He's so lucky to have a sweet grandmother like you to plan a magical celebration for him.
