Welcome back to planDisney, Kathryn! Thanks so much for sending us another question. It's so exciting to see you're arriving at the
Walt Disney World Resort this week! Hooray!
I'm so happy for you that you will be celebrating your birthday at The Most Magical Place on Earth this year! I know being able to celebrate in the middle of the magic will make your day even more special and I definitely have a few suggestions to help.
Magic Kingdom Park is a great choice for your birthday! When you arrive, I would recommend picking up a complimentary "Happy Birthday" celebration button. You can get this at Guest Relations and a cast member can even personalize it for you! If I was celebrating my birthday at Magic Kingdom, I would spend the day riding my favorite attractions, eating my favorite snacks, and shopping! I would also suggest getting your photo taken by a
Disney PhotoPass photographer in front of
Cinderella Castle to commemorate your celebratory day.
If by chance you don't have any
advanced dining reservations, I highly recommend stopping by
Be Our Guest Restaurant as soon as they open at 10:00 a.m. to see if there is any availability for lunch or dinner. If you haven't ever eaten here, the food, and the grey stuff, is delicious!
Disney Enchantment, the new nighttime spectacular, would be the perfect way to end the day! You can always pretend that the fireworks are just for your birthday!
I'm wishing you the happiest and most magical birthday! I hope it's everything you wish for and more! Please visit us again at
planDisney when you're ready to plan the next celebration or a just-because vacation! We're happy to help you plan all of the details!
Smiles,
Lisa
