    Surprise birthday present/first ever Disney trip for son soon5 husband soon40. Son is OBSESSED with Toy Story, so we are staying at the Pixar Hotel club room. Anything to be done for special room/decorations/plans for the occasion? Free and paid options.

    Well, hello there, Rachel! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!

    What an exciting way to celebrate a first visit to the land of Woody and Buzz! You have already started the experience by booking a club-level room at Pixar Place Hotel! The hotel is fabulous baseline, and then add the VIP experience of club level, an adventure definitely awaits!

    The first place you should start is with an In-Room Celebration. The cutest Pixar-themed one is perfect for your son and the hotel! All you have to do is call Guest Services to order at least 48 hours before your visit, and pixie dust will be waiting in your room.

    Next up, grab complimentary Celebration Buttons! You will be amazed at how many people will stop and congratulate you all on your first visit. You can find them at City Hall on Main Street in Disneyland or the Chamber of Commerce in California Adventure. A Cast Member will happily customize your buttons, and you will be on your way!

    While you will definitely encounter your favorite pals throughout the parks, I would head to the Pixar Pals Playtime Party for your son! It is an interactive dance party with all his friends, including photo-ops, Pixar shorts, and more.

    Rachel, take advantage of the Creator's Club and enjoy the complimentary meals and snacks in the lounge. You can also participate in a cooking demonstration, which sounds like super-duper fun. I wish you a magical vacation to infinity and beyond!
