Hi Megan, welcome to planDisney. I am very excited to hear about your return to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Though much has changed in the last 20 years, I can assure you the same magic awaits you at Walt Disney World.
To start your birthday celebration right, pick up a birthday celebration button, available from the front desk at Disney Resort hotels, or a Cast Member at various retail locations in the parks. Cast Members are talented spotters and fantastic at recognizing special celebrations - I can promise many warm birthday greetings and who knows what other extra magic!
Okay, on to the good stuff. SNACKS! I am so happy to talk about one of my all-time favorite snacks at Walt Disney World, the Mickey (or Minnie) Krispie treat! I recommend heading to the stunning
Main Street Confectionery, at the top of Main Street U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom Park, for a feast for your eyes and tummy. I love seeing the Cast Members freshly create delicious treats here, and I have always been delighted by my choices. Side note - if you're a popcorn gal too, I highly suggest customizing a popcorn-based delicacy at the Kernel Kitchen in Main Street Confectionery. We've had to return for more as one bag was not enough for our family! Honestly, I could spend an age in this sweet-scented oasis.
Did you know you can arrange a
birthday cake delivery at participating table-service restaurants?
In-room birthday celebrations can be organized for your Walt Disney World Resort stay. Various hampers and balloons can be ordered, or you can call to see if further customization is possible.
Megan, I hope this information helps, and I'm sending you all my best birthday wishes! Have the best time back in the magic, and if you have any more questions ahead of your birthday adventure, please reach out. Louise.
