Welcome to planDisney, Candace! A birthday celebration is even more magical at the Walt Disney World Resort, and your special day will be here before you know it! Let's tap into all the ways you can ensure the best day ever to celebrate you!
Candace, complimentary celebration buttons are available at most
Guest Relations windows, at the Front Desk of any Disney Resort hotel, and most gift shops at the theme parks! Cast Members are also happy to personalize your Happy Birthday button upon request! If you'd like to take your celebration up a notch, you can bring your birthday button to
Disney's Days of Christmas shop in
Disney Springs and have an artist personalize it for you for a fee. We did this for my daughter's Sweet 16 birthday last year, and it's one of her most treasured Disney keepsakes!
As a word of warning, Candace, wearing your birthday button around the parks comes with unexpected well wishes and maybe some magical surprises from Cast Members, so just be sure you're ready for any magic that finds its way to you throughout the day!
Candace, since you'll be at EPCOT for your birthday visit, you may consider booking an advance dining reservation for a special birthday meal; some of my favorite options include
Garden Grill Restaurant if you're a fan of character dining, or if you're looking for a more fine dining experience,
Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada pavilion is always an excellent choice! For a special birthday dessert, if you exit EPCOT at the International Gateway near the Skyliner, you can stroll over to
Beaches and Cream to order a treat from their walk-up window.
Candace, I hope you have the most magical birthday celebrating your birthday all around the World Showcase at EPCOT! If you have any other planning questions before your visit, come back and see us again at
planDisney!
See you real soon,
Alison
