Oh boy, Elisa! Walt Disney World is such a perfect place to celebrate your daughter's 6th birthday - what a magical gift! Thank you for bringing your questions to planDisney.
My first planning step for our Walt Disney World trips is setting a budget - you can be as extravagant or budget conscious as you like at Disney, and having a number in mind helps focus your search. I then think about which Disney Resort hotel will work best for us - transport options and amenities available all come into play here.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa offers lavish accommodations with close access to Magic Kingdom Park. Kids always enjoy the larger-than-life theming at the more budget-friendly
Art of Animation Resort. No matter which Disney Resort hotel you choose, you'll stay immersed in Disney Magic, and enjoy
many other benefits. On your little girl's birthday, please help her to pick up a birthday celebration button from Guest Services at Disney Resort hotels or Cast Members at various retail locations. Cast Members are talented spotters and fantastic at recognizing special celebrations; I can promise many warm birthday greetings and who knows what other pixie dust.
If your daughter is a Disney Princess fan, you may like to dine at
Cinderella's Royal Table for her special day. It's an experience fit for the most discerning little royal. You could also treat yourself to
Genie+ on her special day. This optional add-on purchase can be made on the day and often means less waiting in line for rides, freeing up the potential for even more fun. Your first Lightning Lane reservation can be made at 7:00 a.m. on the day of your visit using the My Disney Experience App. I know my kids always love to have shorter wait times!
You can sprinkle even more pixie dust on your super-special Guest in your room with
Disney Floral and Gifts. What about Happy Birthday Cupcakes with Mickey? A cute surprise for any Disney fan.
Please pass my very happiest birthday wishes to your daughter! Have a wonderful time celebrating this precious birthday! Enjoy the magic, Elisa. There's no greater joy as a parent than seeing your little bundle of joy beaming with happiness, and I'm sure you'll experience many of those moments on this Walt Disney World adventure. If you need anything further, please reach out, Louise.
