Welcome, Amy! I'm so excited to answer your first question at planDisney. I'm hoping it's the first of many.
Ahhhhh!
A birthday at the Walt Disney World Resort! It doesn't matter what age you're turning, there's something extra special about celebrating your birthday at the Most Magical Place on Earth. I hope you'll stop by a
Guest Relations location or the
Front Desk at your
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel to get a Celebration Button...and I hope your daughter wears it proudly! Not only do Cast Members typically voice their birthday wishes throughout the day, but I've also found that fellow Guests join in on the fun as well!
On the home screen of the
Walt Disney World Resort website, when you start to "Build Your Vacation" toward the top of the page, you will let the system know how many children are in your travel party. Once you've done so, it will prompt you to input each of their ages "at time of travel." Your vacation package will then be priced accordingly.
Now, when you're making your
advanced dining reservations at some table-service restaurants, you may be asked if you want to add a
Mickey Dome Cake to your dining experience. This could be a great add-on for your daughter's birthday celebration. And of course, you should let the restaurant know that you're celebrating, whether you add a cake or not! It just lets everyone know that it's the birthday girl's special day!
Amy, I hope your daughter's birthday and your vacation are simply wonderful! Be sure to arrive early to take advantage of
free water park admission, which is available on check-in day for Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel in 2025. Now
that's an amazing way to kick off a phenomenal vacation. If you have any other questions,
I'm here for you!
Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever,
Matt
