Hi Jill!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Your daughter is one lucky girl! She's already guaranteed a magical birthday while celebrating at Walt Disney World Resort! I understand you wanting to make her 13th birthday extra magical, though. I love celebrating major milestones at "The Most Magical Place on Earth"!
One idea is to make an Advanced Dining Reservation at
California Grill and conclude the evening by watching Magic Kingdom Park's fireworks show from the California Grill Lounge or outside observation deck. It's truly magical! The lights dim inside the restaurant and the music from the fireworks show is piped into the restaurant and outside on the observation deck. I also recommend informing your server that it is your daughter's birthday dinner!
Another way to make this vacation even more magical is by visiting
Disney Floral & Gifts. There are so many options for personalized surprises to be delivered to your daughter on her special day!
Be sure to pick up a complimentary "Happy Birthday" button for her when checking in to your Walt Disney World Resort hotel or at Guest Relations in any of the theme parks! Cast Members and Guests will go out of their way to wish her the happiest of birthdays while she's wearing it!
