Hi, Amanda! For my family, we like to celebrate birthdays at Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary Resort (just a short walk or monorail ride from the Magic Kingdom.) This is a high energy, fun filled dinner with Mickey, Minnie, and all their pals! There is a nice buffet and a great dessert selection.
Bring along a blank birthday card so all the Disney Friends can sign it for the birthday boy! With all the desserts, you might not need a birthday cake, but if you want to purchase one, just let them know at the podium when you check-in for your reservation. This dining experience has a party built right in! Don't forget your camera, this is the perfect place to get some great photos.
This is a popular dining location, so make your reservation as soon as you hit your 180 day booking window by calling (407)WDW-DINE or online at
www.disneyworld.com. Happy Birthday to your son!
