Welcome to planDisney, Janelle!
Happiest of happy birthdays to whomever in your party will be celebrating! The Most Magical Place on Earth REALLY IS the most magical place to celebrate a birthday!… I mean, it’s not every birthday that you can end the evening with fireworks! I hope you and your party enjoy celebrating together at Disney World.
I’m happy to let you know that the birthday girl can get a complimentary “Happy Birthday” button at any of the gift shops at Disney World! You’ll just need to ask a Cast Member, and they’ll gladly provide one AND customize it for the birthday girl! I recommend having her wear that button for the duration of your trip — you never know what magical things may happen! You can also mention that it is her birthday at
table service restaurants when you’re dining as sometimes Cast Members will have something special to share! (This is based on the restaurant’s/Cast Member’s discretion and also based on availability… a good rule of thumb is to go with no expectations and be pleasantly surprised if you get an extra goodie!)
I always enjoy visiting Characters during my birthday celebrations too! If you let the Character know it’s her birthday during an interaction, it may make the interaction a little extra special!
If you spend some time in
Disney Springs during her birthday, there may be some shops/restaurants around that will offer some sort of deal/discount/freebie for someone’s birthday! I recommend asking wherever you go — magic is sure to follow.
I hope you have a wonderful trip, Janelle! If you have any additional questions we’d love to hear from you again at planDisney.
See ya real soon,
Allyn
