My son turns 10 next year as well. I love the idea of vacationing for 10 days prior to your cruise! Your son is sure to have a magical birthday vacation!!
My son has a January birthday and we once cruised with Disney while celebrating his special day.
First, I ordered a Stateroom Celebration package which included having our stateroom decorated with a birthday banner. When our son opened the door to the cabin and saw the decorations, he was so excited that Mickey remembered his birthday. Then, he noticed the cake waiting for him on the table! It was worth the extra cost, however, you could also bring your own decorations.
Also, let Disney Cruise Line know about your son’s birthday. Have it noted on your reservation! At dinner, the birthday boy will receive a cake presented by singing servers. Do not hesitate to remind your Head Server about the celebration.
On Castaway Cay, splurge on an exciting
shore excursion!
