Hi, Leigh! Welcome to planDisney.
Celebrating your birthday at Walt Disney World? There’s nothing quite like it! From surprise cast member shout-outs to the occasional extra sprinkle of magic, Disney really knows how to make you feel special. And those birthday and celebration buttons are a fun (and free!) way to let everyone know you’re celebrating.
You can pick up a celebration button at most
Guest Relations locations in the parks, as well as at the front desk of your Disney Resort hotel. Just let a Cast Member know what you’re celebrating and they’ll happily give you one. There are buttons for birthdays, anniversaries, first visits, and even a general “I’m celebrating!” version where you can write in your own occasion.
If you’d like to add a note to your reservation, you absolutely can. Just call or use the chat feature in the
My Disney Experience app and let them know you’re celebrating a birthday. Whilst it doesn’t guarantee anything extra, it helps Cast Members share in the celebration.
If you’d like to plan something extra special for your trip, check out the
Enchanting Extras Collection. You can book VIP tours, unique photograph sessions, fireworks packages, and more!
