Hi Esther! Welcome back to planDisney! Thanks so much for sending us another great question. I'm happy to provide some suggestions for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Spending a birthday at The Most Magical Place on Earth is a great choice and there are many ways to make it extra magical! I love that you are interested in doing something from the
Enchanting Extras Collection to celebrate! There are so many great choices and it really comes down to personal preference and what type of experience you are looking for. Do you prefer taking a slow and relaxed approach to the day? If so, you could start the day at
The Grand Floridian Spa being pampered with spa treatments and salon services. Afterward, you could continue the birthday celebration with
Celebration at the Top: 50th Flavors & Fireworks at
Disney's Contemporary Resort. Would you prefer to start the day in one of the theme parks? You could book the
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour at
Magic Kingdom Park or the
La Cava Experience at EPCOT. My ideal way to celebrate my birthday would be to spend the day at my favorite theme park, EPCOT. I would want to have dinner at one of my favorite restaurants and end the day with a
specialty cruise to see
Harmonious. The cruise to watch the fireworks is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had at Walt Disney World! You can even request a birthday banner and balloons, which are included! No matter which Enchanting Extras experience you choose, I'm sure you will have a magical time! Be sure to set a reminder on your calendar to reserve Enchanting Extras and
advanced dining reservations up to 60 days before your check-in date.
I'm excited for you that you will be staying at
Disney's Riviera Resort! I love this beautiful resort and highly recommend enjoying all that this property has to offer. Our family loved spending time by the pool and getting food and drinks from
Bar Riva. We also loved having convenient access to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT using
Disney Skyliner!
If you like to have suggested itineraries, you might want to check out Disney Genie Service. You can access this complimentary service using the My Disney Experience app to create a personalized itinerary. You might also consider purchasing Disney Genie+ to maximize your time in the theme parks.
The World's Most Magical Celebration is in full swing and there are many fun things to see and do while you are visiting. Please feel free to stop by planDisney again if you have any additional questions. We're always happy to help!
Happy Planning!
