Hello there, Belair! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you so much for bringing us your question. I can already tell this is going to be a very special trip, and I’d be honored to help you plan the perfect birthday celebration for your little princess!
If you’re looking to stay somewhere close to both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, I recommend choosing one of the Deluxe Resorts with prime park access. For Magic Kingdom, the Monorail loop resorts are absolutely dreamy. Think
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa,
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, or
Disney’s Contemporary Resort. These all offer quick and easy access to the park and are filled with beautiful theming, fantastic dining, and those extra-magical Disney touches.
If you’re leaning more toward EPCOT, you’ll love the EPCOT Resort area.
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort,
Beach Club Resort, and
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn all offer walking distance or boat access to both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, making them incredibly convenient.
Now, as for birthday surprises: while I wish it were possible to arrange for Disney Princesses to visit your hotel room (how magical would that be?!), that’s unfortunately not something currently offered at Walt Disney World Resort. But don’t worry, because there are still plenty of ways to celebrate with royalty!
My top suggestion is to start your daughter’s birthday with a character dining experience at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT. She’ll be surrounded by beloved Disney Princesses like Belle, Ariel, and Snow White, all while enjoying a delicious buffet breakfast in a storybook setting. Afterward, you can stroll around World Showcase and meet even more princesses in their respective countries. It’s a dream come true!
Belair, I hope this helps you start planning a day filled with sparkle, smiles, and unforgettable memories. If you have any more questions, I’m always here and so happy to help!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
