Hi Shirley,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Celebrating a birthday at the Walt Disney World Resort is just about as magical as it gets! Be sure to get your daughter a "Happy Birthday" Celebration Recognition Button when you check-in at your Resort Hotel or grab one at Guest Services or merchandise locations in any of the Theme Parks. It's so much fun to have Cast Members and Guests share in your celebration!
Walt Disney World Resort offers quite a few tours that an eleven year old girl, as well as the rest of your family, would enjoy. One of my absolute favorite tours is
Wild Africa Trek in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.This one of a kind (separately priced) Tour allows you to get an up-close view of some of the animals on the savanna. Your family will cross over a rope bridge and get to dangle over hippos and crocodiles while safely secured to a harness. You'll also get to snack on African inspired cuisine while overlooking the gorgeous savanna. The view of the animals roaming the savanna is simply breathtaking! The Wild Africa Trek Tour Guides will take photos and capture your memories during the Trek and at the end of the Tour you will receive a photo code that you can use to access and download photos taken during the experience. All photos are included in the price of the Trek. Reservations can be made 180 days in advance of your Resort stay by calling (407) 939-8687.
Epcot Seas Adventures - Aqua Tour, Behind The Seeds, and Disney's Family Magic Tour
are also great experiences and the perfect way for your daughter to enjoy some behind the scenes magic.
I hope these suggestions help you in planning your visit. Please stop back by if you have any additional vacation planning questions!
Magical Wishes,
Susan
