Dear Sarita,
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel, where I'm more than excited to suggest a few ideas to make your daughter's first birthday extra Magical at the
Happiest Place on Earth!
Here are a few ideas to celebrate at Disneyland (Walt Disney's original Theme Park, open since 1955):
* Purchase a set of Minnie Ears at the Mad Hatter Shop (they have kids' sizes) and personalize them with your little girls' name. The Minnie Ears will make for picture perfect memories either while she wears them, or held against iconic Disneyland images like a bunch of balloons along Main Street, USA or in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle.
* Visit Disney Showcase to purchase a Minnie outfit for the birthday girl. I've seen adorable pink dresses and other Park exclusive clothing items for little girls.
* Make sure you get a birthday button for your daughter. You can get one at City Hall or at any merchandise location within the Park.
* Make reservations for breakfast or lunch with Minnie & friends and the
Plaza Inn Restaurant, where you'll find plenty of pink details and decor! You can enjoy a delicious meal and take pictures with Minnie (Reservations recommended).
* Order a custom Minnie cake which can be delivered to any table service restaurant at the Disneyland Resort. Call (714) 781-DINE to place your order.
* Visit Minnie's House and have a Disney PhotoPass Photographer capture the moment when Minnie offers your daughter an extra special birthday hug!
* Have a Disney Artist make a sketch of Minnie Mouse wishing your daughter a Happy Birthday! Disney Sketch artists can be found at
Disneyana!
Happy Birthday to your little one!
