Welcome back, Hilary!
Thanks so much for writing back in and for sending your question my way!
My family has celebrated so many super fun milestones from 1-year old birthdays to 20-year wedding anniversaries and you just never know what kind of special surprises might happen during your dining adventures. When you make your Advanced Dining Reservations, be sure to add your son's birthday celebration to your reservation so the Cast Members at the restaurants you dine at will know that you are celebrating a Birthday! Sometimes, your server will do something fun like bring out a special Birthday cupcake [if they have them] and sing
Happy Birthday. It's not anything that's guaranteed though, so if you want to be certain that something special will happen, Disney's got you covered with lots of ways to
Customize Your Celebration in just about every price range imaginable!
Be sure to stop by Guest Relations at the very first Park you visit at the beginning of your vacation and pick up a free birthday button. Your little guy can wear it every day during your trip and will get lots of "
Happy Birthday" wishes when Cast Members see it. Also, if you want to have a spur-of-the-moment birthday cake after you dine, most of the Table Service restaurants at Walt Disney World have a 6-inch cake available in chocolate or vanilla that you can order upon your arrival.
I'm so excited for your family to celebrate your son's birthday at Walt Disney World! Please let me know if I can help with any other questions you think of as you continue planning!
Have a Pixie Dusted day!
