Hi there, Kathryn! Thanks so much for visiting planDisney from across the pond--it will be my pleasure to help add a little extra pixie dust to your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
I love celebrating family milestones with a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth. Over the years, we've made so many special memories for birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions. You are sure to have a wonderful time and I hope your husband gets the royal treatment throughout your stay!
I spoke with some Cast Members about your request for a magical birthday greeting on the in-room television. You should be able to accomplish this by calling the resort reservations department, either in the
UK or the
US. I'm not sure when you are arriving at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, but if you are already in Florida, you can also use the handy chat feature on the Walt Disney World website to have the message added to your reservation.
Another method to add some birthday fun to your stay is the
"Hey Disney!" voice assistant device that you'll find in your hotel room. Your husband can enjoy being serenaded with a fun rendition of "Happy Birthday"! This in-room tool is also a great resource for checking park hours and weather or listening to some curated Disney soundscapes to get you in a magical frame of mind before you head out to conquer the theme parks.
And of course, don't forget to stop by the Front Desk at the French Quarter to pick up a Happy Birthday button for your Prince Charming! He'll enjoy birthday greetings wherever he goes, and sometimes even a bit of unexpected pixie dust.
Kathryn, I hope you have a practically perfect time on your Walt Disney World vacation. If our planDisney crew can help with any other questions, please reach out anytime--we're always here for you!
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
