Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Stephanie!
I am thrilled that you will be celebrating your little one's birthday at the Disneyland Resort soon! You can pick up a complimentary birthday button for your daughter at City Hall in Disneyland Park or at the Chamber of Commerce at Disney California Adventure Park. There is no need to bring any proof of your daughter's birthday. Just let a Cast Member know that you are celebrating and they will be more than happy to give you a button.
If your daughter will be between the ages of 3 and 12 when you visit, then definitely consider booking a princess transformation at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. There are several packages to choose from with varying inclusions and price points. There are also lots of beautiful dresses and accessories to purchase there to add to the makeover, or you can certainly bring your dress of choice from home. Advanced reservations are highly recommended and can only be made by calling (714) 781-7895 up to 60 days in advance.
Another thing you might consider is booking a dining reservation at one of the many delicious options around the parks. There are also a few
character meals where your daughter can meet a few characters while you eat. To make the birthday complete,
order a custom birthday cake to be delivered to your table.
I hope this helps. Have a magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
