Congratulations on booking your first Disney Cruise! There is something pretty spectacular about cruising with Disney, and celebrating a birthday while doing so will make it unforgettable for your little one!
First of all, I suggest that you call (800) 951-3532 and have the birthday notated on your reservation. You will more than likely be approached by your dining server regarding the celebration, because they love to acknowledge the day with a something special for the birthday guest.
You could also order a in-room birthday celebration and cake. For about $50 you can have your stateroom decorated for the celebration and a complimentary birthday cake will be delivered to your room. Click

As for "must do", be sure to attend the
Sail Away Celebration. It's full of music, dancing, characters and fun! I think this is is perfect way to kick off your voyage, and for me it is the green-light to relax and enjoy our vacation!
The other thing you won't want to miss is the
Pirates IN the Caribbean deck party. This family-friendly party is unlike anything else. Witnessing fireworks over the open ocean is simply magical!
The other must do - take pictures! The three days will fly right by, and you'll want plenty of photos to remember this amazing experience.
Hope this helps - have a great time!
