Hi Ryne,
How exciting to know you are sending your parents to celebrate your dad's 50th birthday at Walt Disney World Resort. I am sure they will have an amazing time.
Many Guests do not like having to worry about meal budgets. So my best suggestion is to book a
Magic Your Way Vacation Package with a
Disney Dining Plan. It is the best way to prepay for your meals. Although you can book a package online, you may find it better to speak to a Vacation Planning Specialist at (407) 939-1936 or a travel agent. Be sure to note the celebration on the reservation, and you should also visit
Disney Floral & Gifts for some great ideas.
Since you are planning for them, I would strongly recommend you set up some dining reservations as soon as possible. Besides the many flavors available in World Showcase Pavilion in Epcot, a character meal is a must, so be sure to look at Chef Mickey's. And make sure they enjoy the evening shows as VIP, so book a
Fantasmic! Dinner Package,
Rivers of Light Dining Package or
IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party.
One last tip: you can book your dining reservations at the
Walt Disney World restaurants and reservations page, or give them a call at (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463. Wishing him a Happy Birthday!
Ricardo.
