Hi there, Stella! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney!
Wow! What a milestone
birthday for your dad! I can think of no better place to celebrate than at the Disneyland Resort! First, be sure to stop by a Guest Services location to pick up a complimentary birthday button. This will garner him all sorts of well wishes from Cast Members throughout the parks. Next, if you haven't already, consider booking a
dining reservation for a special meal. There are lots of great options in the parks and the Downtown Disney District and if you choose Blue Bayou Restaurant, Café Orléans, Lamplight Lounge, River Belle Terrace, or Wine Country Trattoria, you can add a
celebration cake to your reservation that will be delivered to your table at the end of your meal.
Did your father serve in the military? If so, then definitely take time to watch the flag retreat in Town Square. On October 26th, this is scheduled to take place at 4:30 p.m. It's a beautiful and moving ceremony for anyone, but especially veterans. If you stop by Guest Services to pick up his birthday button, you might chat with a Cast Member about the flag retreat to see if your dad can get a front-row view. You should also ask them about any other ideas they may have to make his day special.
Wishing your dad a very happy birthday and I hope you all have a great time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
