Hi there Imen!
How exciting that your first Walt Disney World vacation will be this summer! Be sure to stop by any Guest Services location inside the theme parks to request a free
"1st Visit" recognition button for every member of your travel party and a "Happy Birthday" button for son to honor this momentous occasion!
I would definitely recommend staying onsite at a Disney resort hotel for an inaugural trip. All of your theme park transportation is handled without the need for a map or directions, you receive Extra Magic Hours for extended touring time in the parks and you're family is surrounded by Disney magic 24/7.
You might wish to consider staying at a Value Resort in a Family Suite for the convenience of three separate sleeping areas, two bathrooms and a kitchenette to help save on meal expenses. The brand new
Art of Animation Resort looks amazing and is sure to be a big hit with the young and young at heart! There's even a Cars Family Suite, ideal for your son's birthday celebration!
For your toddler, a stroller is an absolute necessity as there is a lot of walking involved when visiting Mickey Mouse and Pals. Check out this link for details on
stroller rentals and perhaps entertain the idea of a double-stroller that would allow your 6 year old son some time to rest between attractions too.
Thanks
