Kari, how exciting! Your first trip to Walt Disney World will be a magical way to spend your mother's birthday. I have a few other suggestions that you could consider in planning an EXTRA special day that your mother will never forget:
--When you check into your resort, be sure to mention that you will be celebrating your mother's birthday.
--Stop at guest relations in EPCOT and ask for a birthday pin for your mother, and a first visit pin for both of you. You never know what extra magic can happen when cast members see you wearing them.
--Do you have dining reservations for that night? At most full service restaurants, you can order a custom cake for the event. Call (407)827-2253 for more information.
--New this year are
In Room Celebrations. You can arrange for your resort room to be decorated with surprise presents and magical treats. Extra fees apply. Call (407)939-4438 for more information. I received one of these during my last visit, and I have to say it was incredible.

Have fun planning your extra surprises, and enjoy your trip!
