Hi, there!
Bethany, I'm so excited to hear you're planning your first visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. I know your stay will be practically perfect in every way!
There are so many magical experiences to be had in the theme parks. I'm happy to share my top can't-miss attractions and shows!
At
Magic Kingdom Park, be sure to visit classic attractions like Peter Pan's Flight, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean. And you won't want to miss popular thrill attractions including Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Splash Mountain. Plan on viewing
Happily Ever After, Magic Kingdom Park's unforgettable nighttime spectacular. It's the most magical way to end a pixie-dusted day!
You're sure to have a wild adventure at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Kilimanjaro Safaris is an absolute must-do! My family also loves riding Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, Kali River Rapids, and DINOSAUR. Festival of The Lion King is an outstanding show, and lots of fun for the whole family. Finally, no visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is complete without exploring
Pandora - The World of Avatar.
Plan to Play Big in
Toy Story Land at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. Andy's Backyard has toy-tastic attractions, food, and Character interactions! Star Tours - The Adventures Continue, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! are also must-visits in this theme park. At the end of the day, catch a performance of
Fantasmic! I can't think of a better place to celebrate a birthday than at the Walt Disney World Resort. What a special day your son will have! I recommend stopping by the Front Desk of your Disney Resort hotel or Guest Relations at any of the four theme parks for a complimentary celebration button. With a birthday button, your son will receive lots of well-wishes from Cast Members and Guests alike! I also suggest booking a special birthday meal.
Character Dining Experiences and restaurants with unique theming like
T-REX or
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant are perfect for birthday celebrations!
I hope this was helpful, Bethany. I'm wishing you a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
