Hiya Sharon!
First and most importantly, happy 50th birthday to you! And to Walt Disney World Resort! You'll be visiting during the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, just in time to experience
The World's Most Magical Celebration. All four parks are participating in the celebration, so you can find enchanting new touches and lots of EARidescent magic wherever you go! I personally love the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection, 50 beautifully crafted golden sculptures scattered throughout the parks, perfect for photo-ops or a fun little challenge to find them all!
Sharon, it is possible to book your entire Walt Disney World birthday trip on your own, using the
Walt Disney World website or by
contacting a Cast Member directly. They can help you choose the perfect
Disney Resort Hotel, purchase theme park tickets, make
advanced dining reservations and
make theme park reservations. Walt Disney World Cast Members are the kindest and friendliest in all the kingdom, ready and willing to help you craft a memorable stay!
If you'd prefer to have a more traditional travel agent or planner book your stay, I'd suggest finding an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. If you simply search for "Authorized Disney Vacation Planner" in your preferred search engine, you'll find many qualified planners available to book your vacation. These vacations planners are approved by the Walt Disney World Resort and are reputable and trustworthy. They know all the little details that go into planning a pixie-dusted vacation at Walt Disney World, so they'll be able to handle the entirety of the planning process for you!
If you'd like to treat yourself to an exciting new experience as a little birthday treat, you may consider purchasing tickets to
Drawn to Life Presented by Cirque du Seleil®. I had the pleasure of watching this breathtaking performance a few months ago and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor in the audience! It is the perfect show to celebrate a special occasion and you can always follow it up with a night at
Disney Springs!
Happy planning, Sharon!
