Hi, Jolene!
What a great plan for your daughter's 4th birthday! How exciting!
Once at Walt Disney World, if you already have park tickets, then head right over to
Guest Relations at Disney's Animal Kingdom. There, a Cast Member will be happy to personalize a Birthday Recognition Button for your little princess, making her day extra-special!
If you check in at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel prior to heading to AK, then you can get this button from a Cast Member at Check-In, too. If you'll be purchasing your park tickets at the park Gate's ticket booths, Cast Members there may have these buttons on hand as well.
Guests and Cast Members alike will wish your daughter a happy birthday as long as she is wearing that button; you'll be surprised at how many extra smiles she'll get because everyone knows it's her special day.
If you'd like additional ideas on how to make your daughter's birthday trip to WDW even more pixie-dusted, take a look at some of these ideas from
Disney Floral & Gifts. Check out
Celebrate Your Special Occasion for even more ideas such as ordering a specialty cake or designing a celebratory T-shirt. It's so much fun for your little one!
Have a fantastic trip, Jolene and wish your princess a very happy birthday from all of us on the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Be sure to send more questions as you think of them, too. We love to help!
