Hi, Julissa,
I'm so glad you reached out to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm lucky enough to say my ten-year-old daughter has
celebrated half of her birthdays at Walt Disney World Resort.
The first important tip is to be sure to visit Guest Services when you arrive in one of the parks to request a special birthday pin. A Cast Member will put your daughter's name on it, and she will hear people wishing her a happy birthday during the entire visit. My daughter LOVES that.
Some of our favorite birthday moments came with a combination of planned and unplanned moments. Check out Disney's tips on
bringing a preschooler to the park. It has a ton of ideas on activities and fun experiences.
My daughter's beloved birthday moments when she was little included spending a day at
Magic Kingdom Park getting a royal hairstyle at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. We even bought her a special princess dress. She also had a fantastic time meeting Cinderella and Prince Charming at
1900 Park Fare for her birthday dinner. Here is
Disney's list of all of the ways you can customize your princess's birthday.
I know you will put together a magical birthday visit at Walt Disney World Resort. Please let me know if you need to brainstorm more with me or ask additional questions!
