Hi Abigail!
Congratulations on your upcoming vacation and big birthday celebration. I have been lucky enough to celebrate many of my family member's birthdays at Walt Disney World and can attest to how magical it is. Celebrating at Walt Disney World creates such lasting memories that recently my youngest child was asked by his pre-school teacher when was his Birthday and he replied, "My birthday is in Disney World!"
Celebration Recognition buttons are such a fun way to announce your birthday. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel and note the birthday celebration on your reservation, then usually there will be a button for you upon check in. You may also pick up a Celebration Recognition button at Guest Services in any of the theme parks. While the birthday Guest is wearing their button they will be greeted with a host of "Happy Birthday!" well wishes by Cast Members and other Guests alike. Sometimes Pixie Dust has been known to fall upon the birthday Guest as well.
If you are looking for other fun ways to celebrate, take a look at this link for
Celebrating Special Occasions in Walt Disney World. There are fun ideas to celebrate special occasions for every budget.
Have a Magical vacation Abigail! If you have any further vacation planning questions, please come back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and ask them here. We love to help!
Blessings,
