Royal greetings from the court of planDisney, Alissa! We're so glad you're hEAR in preparation for the birthday of your Princess!
Alissa, just a few months ago we celebrated my son's 10th birthday at the Most Magical Place on Earth so I appreciate this question! Regardless of whatever celebrations we decide upon, a birthday cake is a "must" for my family and I'm happy to say that Walt Disney World makes it easy. There are a number of restaurants that offer the Mickey Mouse Celebration specialty cake and it's as simple as letting the hostess know you'd like one when you are seated. For my son's birthday we had dinner reservations at Cape May Cafe and when we checked in I asked the server about these cakes. Upon request she let me know that she would have one ready to be brought out at the end of our meal. Currently the cakes are $39 + tax (price subject to change).

Alissa, the other birthday "must" at the Walt Disney World Resort are the complimentary birthday buttons! You can stop by any
Guest Relations location or the Front Desk at your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel to request these. This little touch earned my son so many smiles and "Happy Birthdays" that he was beaming from ear to EAR. The whole family can get in on the fun as well with the "I'm celebrating" buttons that can be personalized to include your daughter's birthday.
Alissa, I hope this helps as you're planning ahead for your daughter's special day. If you have any other questions, please come on back to planDisney where we love to help guests celebrate!
