    Hi we are checking in on the 7th at grand Californian. It's my daughter's birthday the 8th. Can I have the room decorated before we arrive. Our flight gets in at 9pm so there is time. How do I go about this ?

    Hi there, Annalee. What an exciting trip you're about to embark on! There is nothing quite as special as celebrating a birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth

    For a special in-room celebration, you will want to reach out to Guest Services at (714) 239-2502 to order one of the available celebration packages. You can view the options on the Disneyland Resort website. Whether your daughter is a princess fan or a Pixar fan, there is an option to suit your needs! Please note that there is a 48-hour cancellation policy, and other important information on the "In-Room Celebration" section of the Disneyland website. Make sure to take a look before calling to place your order!

    Annalee, another fun way to celebrate your daughter's birthday is with a complimentary birthday button. This can be personalized with your daughter's name and can be found at most merchandise and Guest Service locations throughout the resort. My kids always love it when other guests and Cast Members see their birthday button and wish them a "happy birthday" on their special day.

    In my family, it's tradition that the birthday boy or girl gets to choose a special meal. There are so many great meal options at the Disneyland Resort, including character dining and seasonal offerings, that it would be fun to look into, if you haven't already. Since you are staying at the Grand Californian Hotel, Storytellers Cafe (located just off the lobby) would be a great location to look into. It features some favorite Disney friends and an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet that has something for everyone. Advanced dining reservations can be made in the Disneyland Mobile App or via the Disneyland website. You are also welcome to try and join a Walk-Up List on the day of your visit by visiting the restaurant directly or accessing the list in the Disneyland App.

    I hope this helps, Annalee. I'm wishing your daughter a most magical birthday visit! If you've got any other questions, please visit us again.

    See ya real soon,
    Melissa
