Hi, Manizha. I am such a huge fan of celebrating birthdays at Walt Disney World. Given your son's affinity for Mickey, I'm sure you are going to have an absolutely unforgettable vacation. Seeing the magic through your son's eyes will be a gift, indeed.
In an effort to encourage physical distancing, traditional character greetings are temporarily unavailable. There are, however, still plenty of opportunities to see Mickey Mouse. How would your little guy feel about dining in a restaurant while Mickey and his pals parade around in stylish outfits? If that sounds like something he'd enjoy, you might consider booking a reservation at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera. This restaurant, located within
Disney's Riviera Resort is offering a modified character dining experience. Another option for a fun meal with character special appearances is
Chef Mickey's located at
Disney Contemporary Resort. Both of these character meal experiences will feature Mickey and some of his favorite pals parading around the dining room, waving and blowing kisses to guests as they dine.
As far as attractions, you'll want to be sure to visit
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway at Disney's Hollywood Studios. But when you get that adorable tune stuck in your head for the duration of your visit, don't blame me! Oh, and keep your eye out for the
The Mickey and Friends Cavalcade at Magic Kingdom. I bet your son would love to see Mickey all dressed up along the parade route!
Guests are encouraged to snap selfies with Disney characters in the background any chance they can get. Hopefully, one of the suggestions above will allow you to do just that with your birthday boy.
Have a great time, and don't hesitate to stop back by planDisney if we can be of further assistance as you plan!
