Welcome to planDisney, Alan! Your mother-in-law is one lucky lady! An 80th surprise birthday celebration at the Walt Disney World Resort sounds like the perfect way to honor such a milestone!
The best people to contact to surprise your mother-in-law with an in-room gift are the Dream Makers at Disney’s Floral and Gifts! This special group knows the best way to surprise a loved one! I have been lucky enough to have received in-room surprises created by Floral and Gifts! They really know how to add some extra magic to a Guest’s special celebration! You can contact them by calling (407)-939-4438!
As far as planning a memorable dinner for your mother-in-law’s special birthday, there are so many options! If your mother-in-law has any Disney “favorites” then you might be able to find a perfect dining location to fit her interests. For example, if she is a fan of Beauty and the Beast then there is no better choice for dinner (location or food-wise) than
Be Our Guest Restaurant! If an amazing meal and a view of Magic Kingdom Park are preferred then you should consider
California Grill atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort! Three other favorites for a very nice dinner are
Citricos and
Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa as well as
Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort!
Alan, when planning your mother-in-law's special dinner, keep in mind that some Disney Dining locations are extremely popular! You can make advanced dining reservations 60-days prior to your vacation arrival date! You can make reservations online or by using the My Disney Experience app! You can also call (407)-WDW-DINE! However, the phone line opens at 7:00 AM, while reservations can be made online and on the app as early as 6:00 AM.
Best wishes to your mother-in-law for a magical 80th birthday celebration!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan
