Hi there, Tammy, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're counting down to a magical birthday celebration at Walt Disney World Resort in just a few weeks! You must be so excited to begin the party, and there's no better place to do that than at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Tammy, you'll be happy to hear that birthday candles are not listed on the Walt Disney World Resort
Prohibited Items list, so you should be able to bring them with you! Did you know that there are lots of fun ways to commemorate a birthday during your vacation? I suggest starting off with a visit to your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel's Front Desk or Guest Services at the Disney Theme Parks to grab a complimentary button to let everyone know that you're celebrating.
It's always a good idea to have some photos taken at Walt Disney World Resort, and
Disney PhotoPass Photographers are stationed throughout the parks to help you get the perfect picture to commemorate your special occasion. If you find that you'd like some dedicated time with a photographer, you might consider scheduling a
Capture Your Moment photo session. If you purchase
Memory Maker, you'll receive unlimited downloads of all of your beautiful snapshots.
If your seven-year-old is anything like mine, your vacation will be all about exciting experiences and fun attractions. Happily, there are so many amazing attractions that they can experience, from thrill rides to classic must-dos. Whether you find yourself gearing up for
TRON: Lightcycle / Run or hunkering down for a wild ride on
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, you're sure to have an awesome time. My kiddos also love some of the more imaginative and educational (don't tell them I used that word) experiences like trekking through the
Swiss Family Treehouse and hearing the words of our country's leaders at the
Hall of Presidents. When you visit
EPCOT, be sure to find the
Kidcot Fun Stops at each pavilion in the World Showcase to learn about the country and hear from Cast Members who have lived there. You might even learn how to say "Happy Birthday" in their languages!
Tammy, I hope you have the best time celebrating this special birthday. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue counting down to your arrival.
See you real soon!
Jennifer
