    We are celebrating my 80th birthday in July. Everyone coming is a Florida resident. I need 7 rooms at a Disney Hotel in July, 2026. Do you have any suggestions? Also want to schedule a birthday dinner for 13 adults and 3 children. Thank you.

    Welcome to planDisney, Mary!

    Oh, wow! Celebrating your 80th birthday surrounded by so many family members and friends is truly magical. Happy birthday to you!

    First, check out Special Offers that may include significant savings. At times, there are additional Special Offers for Florida Residents as well, including extra savings for Florida Residents on a summer stay!

    When we're celebrating with multiple generations at Walt Disney World, we look for accommodations that include space to gather. For example, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts offer larger spaces such as 1 Bedroom Villas, 2 Bedroom Villas, and even 3 Bedroom Grand Villas with room for up to 12 adults! Living areas and kitchens make celebrating so much more special. Another perk? Pack lighter. These villas include washers and dryers.

    Check out Options for 5 or More Guests to see other locations, too. Family Suites at Disney's Art of Animation Resort include a living area plus 2 full bathrooms, sleeping up to 6 adults. A perk here is Disney Skyliner access to both EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, making your family visits to these parks a breeze. 

    Next? Proximity to particular parks. If you see yourselves touring EPCOT and Hollywood Studios more often, look for a resort that's closer to those. Disney's Beach Club Resort is just steps away from EPCOT's entrance plus there's easy access to Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom Park draws your attention? Look for a resort that's along Walt Disney World Monorail Transportation.

    For a special dinner, try something out of the ordinary. We love celebrating at Sanaa, located at Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village. Arrive early and head to Sunset Savanna Overlook before being seated near a lovely view.

    We also love California Grill for a special dining experience. The food is outstanding and the view is breathtaking! If you'd like to dine with royalty for that special dinner, consider Cinderella's Royal Table or Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. There are always lots of celebrations taking place at the gorgeous The Cake Bake Shop Restaurant, and over at Disney Springs, The Boathouse has an expansive menu, lakeside setting, with lots to do nearby after dinner.

    As you plan the perfect Happy Birthday to You, Mary, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
