Hi there, Bethany! Welcome back to planDisney! You must be so excited to celebrate your 30th birthday at the Most Magical Place on Earth! Birthday souvenirs might just be the best type of souvenirs! My family recently visited
Walt Disney World Resort for my daughter's birthday, and she had the best time choosing special treats and birthday gifts throughout our vacation. She got lots of special attention because of the "Happy Birthday" button she was wearing, and she loved every minute of it!
You'll be happy to know that you will be able to ship merchandise back home to the UK when you make a purchase in the
Disney Theme Parks. Most merchandise ships via FedEx or UPS, and you'll receive a tracking number when you check out. My fellow planDisney Panelist, Nimmy, has
a great recommendation about shipping lots of items home together to avoid accumulating individual shipping fees - just visit the Business Center at
Disney's Contemporary Resort or
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, where you can print a shipping label and package your items together. Regular shipping rates will apply.
Bethany, there are so many fun ways to celebrate your birthday at Walt Disney World Resort. Like I mentioned before, a Happy Birthday button is a great way to let everyone know you're celebrating! You can find complimentary buttons at the front desk of your Disney Resort Hotel as well as at Guest Services within the Disney Theme Parks. All of the other members of your party can wear an "I'm Celebrating" button alongside you! Cast Members will love wishing you happy birthday throughout your vacation, so get ready for a little extra attention!
Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you plan your epic birthday celebration! We're always here to help!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
