Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Gigi! There is simply no better place to celebrate your boy's birthday than the
Walt Disney World Resort. I'm sure you guys will have a truly magical time!
You can request a birthday button during check-in at your resort and/or at Guest Services in the parks. You should get one for yourself too!
As for the theme park ticket, the answer would be yes if you are planning on visiting one of the parks that day. You can check out in the morning before heading to one of the parks and leave your luggage with Bell Services; they will be happy to store it for you for the rest of the day. My family loves to visit either a
water park or
Disney Springs on our last day. You will not need to have a ticket for Disney Springs as there is always free admission to this location.
Enjoy every second of your visit, Gigi! Please let us know if you have any more questions. I'd be delighted to help you further!
All the best,
~Desiree
