Hi, Amy! I can't think of a better place to celebrate a little Mouseketeer's birthday than the Walt Disney World Resort! My wife and I have celebrated birthdays for all three of our sons with special moments at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
All three of my sons loved celebrating their birthdays with Character Dining experiences! I think your four-year-old would love the opportunity to have a birthday experience with Mickey, Minnie, or a few other Disney friends!
Chef Mickey's was always our dining location of choice for birthdays! This character breakfast has a celebratory feel including the Mickey "Celebration" Pancake! Chef Mickey's is located in Disney's Contemporary Resort!
Another great option would be the character breakfast located at
Topolino's Terrace in Disney's Riviera Resort! This breakfast is hosted by Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy! I had the opportunity to enjoy this breakfast last year! It is so much fun! The characters are dressed in outfits inspired by the European-arts! Plush characters are available in the La Boutique gift shop! Sounds like a great birthday gift to commemorate the special birthday breakfast!
Another opportunity for a character celebration takes place at
Hollywood and Vine in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Breakfast here is hosted by Vampirina and other friends from Disney Junior! Lunch and dinner are hosted by Minnie Mouse herself with a few of her pals joining in the festivities! Finally, if your little one is a fan of Chip 'n' Dale, they host lunch and dinner at
Garden Grill Restaurant at EPCOT!
Amy, if you decide that any of these would be the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, please be sure to make advanced dining reservations 60-days prior to your vacation arrival date! As you can imagine, the Character Dining experiences are extremely popular and book incredibly fast! You can use your My Disney Experience account to make advanced dining reservations online as early as 5:45AM Eastern time. You can also make reservations over the phone by calling (407)-WDW-DINE beginning at 7:00AM Eastern time. I would definitely make your Character Dining Reservations using the online system earlier in the morning! I hope you have a magical celebration!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan
