Hello, Heidi! Walt Disney World is the perfect place to celebrate your son's special day. While any day at Walt Disney World is full of magic and surprises, you can certainly take a few steps to ensure that your son has an extra special birthday celebration before you even leave for your magical vacation.
Before you arrive, you may want to arrange for a special surprise to be delivered to your Disney Resort hotel room from
Disney Floral & Gifts. You can order an autograph book, balloons, snacks and more themed like Mickey and his pals.
Make sure to stop by Guest Services at any of the theme parks to pick up a complimentary "Happy Birthday!" button for your son to wear. This will help Cast Members and fellow Guests recognize your son's special day, and he may be able to receive a little extra attention from people all around Walt Disney World Resort.
If you plan to make any dining reservations, make sure you note that your son is celebrating a birthday when you make your reservation. This does not guarantee any special perks or surprises, but it's worth noting.
And finally, what's a birthday celebration without cake? You can order a personalized cake at most table-service restaurants by calling (407) 827-2253. Please note that you must order at least 72 hours in advance.
If you'd like even more suggestions, I highly recommend visiting the
Custom Celebrations page for more ways to customize your special occasion.
I hope that your son has a wonderful birthday at Walt Disney World, Heidi! If you have any additional questions before your big celebration, please do not hesitate to stop back by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We are happy to help you plan your pixie dusted vacation!
