Hi, Garima! Yay! I am so excited that you will soon be visiting the Disneyland Resort and celebrating your daughter's birthday!
Just being at the Happiest Place on Earth is extremely special, but there are some fun ways to make birthdays extra magical. First, as you suggested, is to book a dining reservation for a character meal. My absolute favorite character dining experience is the Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park at the
Plaza Inn. The buffet here has just about everything one could want for breakfast, but it's the character interaction that blew me away! We met so many different characters the last time we were there.
Or, if your daughter is a big princess fan, perhaps book a breakfast or lunch reservation at
Ariel's Grotto in Disney California Adventure Park. She will get to meet Ariel upon entering and then a few other princesses will visit your table while you eat.
If your daughter is between the ages of 3 and 12, consider giving her a magical princess makeover at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. There are several packages to choose from that include a hairstyle and makeup. You can also choose a package that comes with a princess gown.
Finally, make sure to pick up a complimentary birthday button for your daughter at City Hall in Disneyland Park or the Chamber of Commerce in Disney California Adventure Park. This will garner her lots of birthday wishes from Cast Members throughout the day.
I hope you and your daughter have a fabulous time at the Disneyland Resort!
