Hi there, Neelambari, and welcome to planDisney!
It’s wonderful that you’re gearing up to celebrate a birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth! The
Paint the Night parade is one of my favorite parades of all time. There is just something extra magical about watching your favorite characters adorned with lights. Getting the dining package is a great way to secure a good viewing spot!
The Disneyland Resort offers
celebratory Mickey Mouse-shaped cakes at select participating restaurants. This service is not available when dining at the Plaza Inn. Therefore, you would not be able to pre-order a cake in advance for your
Paint the Night Dining Package experience. If you happen to make another reservation at one of the participating restaurants, you can add this birthday treat to your experience! I recommend adding the cake to your reservation at the time of booking. Sometimes, same-day orders are available, but they are not guaranteed.
Bonus Tip: You can get a
complimentary button to celebrate a magical birthday! In Disneyland Park, they can be found at City Hall. In Disney California Adventure, you can grab one at Guest Services. The other members of your party can also join in on the celebration by getting buttons, too!
Neelambari, I hope this information is helpful and that you all have the most magical birthday celebration! If you need any additional help planning your vacation, please come back and see us again here at planDisney.
Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Karmeen
