Hi there, Gabriela! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. How exciting that you’ll be celebrating a little Mouseketeer’s 6th birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth! I have a few ideas to make the day very special.
~ At any table service restaurant, let the host stand know that you’re
celebrating a birthday and they’ll try to do something special. I’ve seen some restaurants send out a birthday cupcake or another sweet treat.
~ At
select restaurants you can order a
Mickey Mouse Celebration Cake – since your trip is around the corner, you could ask at the host stand when checking in for your reservation if they offer this.
~
Character dining is a special way to celebrate a birthday. One of my favorite venues is
Goofy’s Kitchen, where they offer character dining all day long. You’ll see lots of your favorite pals dancing and mingling with Guests, and the buffet selection is out of this world! Keep checking the
Disneyland mobile app for reservations, especially as your visit approaches – sometimes there are last minute cancellations. You can also check with the host stand about same-day reservations. Goofy’s Kitchen is located at the Disneyland Hotel.
~ You can pick up a complimentary Happy Birthday button at any Guest Services location or Disney gift shop!
~ With
Disney Genie+, you get complimentary access to
Disney PhotoPass, with which you can get your photos taken at numerous locations in the parks, including in front of the castle. You could consider buying a Disney balloon which makes the photos even more festive. (By the way, Genie+ is worth every penny in my opinion, as you’ll have access to shorter lines called
Lightning Lanes, which saves a great deal of time not having to wait in long lines! If you didn’t add Genie+ to your tickets when you bought them, no worries, you can add it in the Disneyland mobile app once you have entered the parks.)
~ You could consider an embroidered birthday Mickey Mouse Ear Hat, available at
The Mad Hatter on Main Street, U.S.A. as well as several other gift shops.
I hope you have a most magical birthday celebration. You are a very special person to be planning this!
