Welcome back to planDisney, Deborah!
It’s been almost 10 years since we’ve heard from you! Welcome back — we are SO happy that you’re returning to the magic of Disney World to celebrate your daughter’s 13th birthday! And what better way to celebrate the beginning of the teenage years than a manicure!? I LOVE this idea!
I completely hear your concern about a “mini nail session” not exactly fitting the vibe for your daughter’s special day!
The Grand Floridian Spa has a small selection of nail services available for Guests 5 and up, but (like you said) the Grand tends to be catering services to younger or older crowds — but it never hurts to call the Spa directly, Deborah, as they may be able to offer your daughter a nail session more aligned with her wishes. (Just note that you will need to accompany her to any spa or nail sessions as she is a minor.)
Luckily, I have another option for you if they don’t have something that works for your daughter!
Mandara Spa at the Disney World Dolphin Hotel may interest your daughter a little more. They have a dedicated teen menu that may be better suited for the occasion. This is a slightly more mature spa, and I think this could be a great option! Again, you will need to call to get their current teen menu.
I hope your daughter has a lovely birthday, Deborah! If you have any additional questions, we would absolutely love to hear from you again at planDisney!
See ya real soon,
Allyn
