    Good morning from the UK 😃 My mum & I are travelling to WDW soon to celebrate our big birthdays! I was just wondering if you had any insider tips, tricks or hidden details not many people know to make this visit even more magical?! Many thanks

    A big hello from New York Jane, Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your excellent question. I'm thrilled to assist you! It sounds like you're gearing up for a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. You're sure to make some excellent memories at the Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Celebrating your birthday and your mom's birthday at Walt Disney World can be incredibly special with a few extra touches! First, be sure to pick up a complimentary birthday button. Stop by Guest Relations or any merchandise location to pick up a complimentary birthday button for both you and your mom. Cast Members and other guests will often wish you a happy birthday throughout the day, adding to the celebration!

    I would next suggest booking a character dining experience where you can meet your favorite Disney characters. Restaurants like Cinderella’s Royal Table, Chef Mickey’s, or Be Our Guest offer a magical atmosphere perfect for birthdays. Consider a more upscale dining experience at locations like California Grill (with a view of the fireworks), Le Cellier Steakhouse in EPCOT, or Narcoossee’s at the Grand Floridian Resort. A favorite of mine and another location with a great view of fireworks. Order a custom cake to be delivered to your table at participating restaurants. You can choose from various designs, including Mickey-shaped cakes or themed cakes with your favorite characters.

    Make sure to use Disney’s PhotoPass Service to capture your special day. You can purchase a Memory Maker package to have unlimited downloads of all the photos taken by Disney photographers. Book a Capture Your Moment session, a personalized 20-minute photo shoot with a Disney photographer at select parks. This can create lasting memories of your birthday celebration.

    Pamper yourselves with a spa day at one of Disney’s luxury resorts, such as The Grand Floridian Spa. A relaxing massage or facial can be the perfect way to unwind. End your special day by watching one of Disney’s nighttime spectaculars, such as Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom or Luminous The Symphony of Us at EPCOT. 

    I hope you find this information helpful Jane, thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
