Hi, Shadan!
I’m happy to hear you’ll be
spending your birthday at the Disneyland Resort because there’s no better place to celebrate a special occasion! Be sure to pick up a complimentary birthday button for yourself at City Hall in Disneyland Park or the Chamber of Commerce in Disney California Adventure Park in honor of your special day. It can be customized with your name so you’ll receive personalized birthday wishes from Cast Members and other Guests!
My favorite table-service dining location to have a celebratory meal is Blue Bayou at Disneyland Park. The restaurant is located right inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, so you can request a table near the water upon arrival and wave to Guests floating by in boats headed to the pirate-filled waters below! If you decide to dine there or have any other table-service meals planned, be sure to let your server know you’re celebrating a birthday because you may receive some extra magic during your dining experience. You can also choose to purchase a custom decorated bakery cake to enjoy after your meal at table-service restaurants for a memorable birthday treat. These celebration cakes come in a variety of sizes, flavors and themes and can be ordered in advance by calling (714) 781-3463.
Another idea is to bring along a birthday card for Disney Characters to sign instead of an autograph book. It will make for a fun, unique souvenir to display after your trip and remind you of the birthday you spent at the Happiest Place on Earth! There are also many magical photo opportunities throughout the parks, so be sure to utilize Disney PhotoPass service during your vacation.
Happy birthday, Shadan, and I hope you have a perfectly pixie-dusted Disneyland Resort visit! Please write back with any other questions you can dream of.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
