    It is my sons 13th birthday on Dec 11. Is there somewhere special we could celebrate this occasion and perhaps with a birthday cake to order? Is there a fantasmic display that evening?

    Hello Mary!  I did check the calendar and unfortunately, it does not look like there will be a Fantasmic! show on your son's birthday.  However, there will be a show the day before and the day after.  Do you think your son would enjoy a fun and festive atmosphere?  If so, I think you should give Whispering Canyon at the Wilderness Lodge a try. The atmosphere is fun and rowdy with lots of antics - and he may even be asked to stand up as the entire restaurant sings happy birthday to him!

    I recently celebrated my daughter's 13th birthday at the Garden Grill.  We mainly went there as she is a huge fan of Chip & Dale.  If your son has a favorite character, you may want to choose a restaurant where he'll be able to dine with that special character.  You can check the restaurant page and filter on "Dining Experience" and then "Character Dining" to research possibilities.

    For a cake, you can call the Cake Hotline at 407-827-2253.  They will be able to help you order a special cake.  For my daughter, I purchased an 8" cake decorated with a Chip & Dale theme.  The cost was $32.00 but it really made for a happy ending to her birthday meal.

    Whatever you decide, make sure you note the celebration on your reservation. Also, have your son wear his birthday celebration pin (you can obtain at your resort or Guest Relations in each park) to receive tons of Happy Birthday wishes throughout the day.

    I hope your son enjoys the beginning of his teenager years at Walt Disney World!  Diane
