Hi Cydne,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for sending us your question. Celebrating a birthday at Walt Disney World Resort is absolutely magical, I am happy to see you are planning a celebration with Mickey and his pals!
When purchasing
Theme Park Tickets only, payment in full is required at the time of purchase. If you are purchasing a Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package that includes a Resort Hotel Stay as well as Theme Park Tickets, there is the option to make payments in
My Disney Experience toward your total balance once a deposit is made to secure the reservation. I would recommend checking the
Special Offers Page on the Walt Disney World Resort Website for some wonderful savings on Walt Disney World Resort Vacations.
While being at Walt Disney World Resort for a birthday is magical, there are no special offers for birthday celebrations. In my experience I have found that there is plenty of extra Pixie Dust for birthday celebrations. When we celebrate my daughter's birthday at Walt Disney World Resort, I like to stop by either the Front Desk at our Resort Hotel or Guest Services at any of the Theme Parks for a complimentary Birthday Button. My daughter loves wearing her button, it is a way to commemorate the special occasion. When I make
Advanced Dining Reservations for a birthday celebration, I always include the birthday information, and sometimes we receive a birthday cupcake or card from the Characters and Cast Members, to celebrate. It hasn't happened every time, but when it does it's an extra surprise.
Another option would be to order a
Mickey Celebration Cake at participating Table-Service restaurants. The cakes serve 4-6 people and come in either chocolate or white chocolate. To order these cakes, simply head over to the podium at the Dining Location to add the cake to your reservation. The cost will be added to your cheque at the end of your meal.
I hope you have a magical time celebrating at Walt Disney World Resort, Cydne. Please let us know if you have any other questions as your visit approaches, we are always happy to help.
