Welcome to planDisney, Carlos! We're happy you're here.
I'm thrilled to hear that you're planning a very special
birthday at Walt Disney World Resort! When it comes to celebrations, I can't think of a better place to make memories that will last a lifetime. I'd love to help you make this birthday celebration an extra magical one! First, I'd recommend that you book a vacation package online, which will include theme park tickets as well as a stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. Head to the
Walt Disney World Resort website and enter your desired dates, number of Guests traveling with you, and click "View Rates" under "Build Your Vacation" to get started! While there aren't specific birthday packages available, we can add some special birthday surprises after your vacation package is booked. Let me just grab my magic wand...
- Be sure to make advance dining reservations! These reservations can be made 60 days before your arrival date for the length of your trip (and I would recommend making them as early as possible!). Try to plan a meal or two that's perfect for the person being celebrated. Depending on the birthday person's interests, you might want to book a character meal like Cinderella's Royal Table or even signature dining like California Grill!
- Consider booking from the Enchanting Extras Collection! These are additional events and activities that add just an extra touch of pixie dust to an already magical trip. Personally, I love one of the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties and the Capture Your Moment photo sessions! These can also be booked 60 days in advance for the length of your trip.
- Pick up a complimentary birthday celebration button from the front desk of your Disney Resorts Collection hotel or from a Guest Services location! Then, make sure they wear the button for the length of your trip. There's nothing like receiving well-wishes from Guests and Cast Members alike!
- Place an order for In-Room Floral & Gifts! This is a great way to arrange for a surprise upon arrival or for a special day on your trip.
- If the person celebrating loves princesses, be sure to make time to meet a princess at one of the parks! Or if Mickey is a favorite character, you can't beat a character greeting by the "main cheese" himself! Please write back with some more details about the birthday Guest and we would be happy to recommend some ideas for you.
- If you're looking for something a little more extraordinary, take a look at the Custom-Designed Celebrations & Gatherings!
I hope I was able to point you in the right direction today, Carlos! The real magic happens when people who care about each other spend time together. No matter what you see, where you go, or what you do, you're sure to have an extra special trip – just because you're with people you love.
Faith, trust, and pixie dust –
