Hi Staci,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and hello from North Carolina! How wonderful to celebrate your daughter's birthday at the Walt Disney World Resort. What a sweet surprise!
First, if you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, call 407-939-5277 to ask a cast member to note her birthday on your resort reservation. When you arrive, be sure to request a birthday button from the front desk of your resort hotel. Your princess can wear that button during her entire visit so that cast members will recognize immediately that she is celebrating. I also suggest that you ask a cast member at the front desk if she can get a special birthday phone call from Goofy.
Prior to your arrival, check out the
Planning Your Celebration page to explore other ideas. My family likes to make a
dining reservation at a special restaurant for birthday celebrations. You could also have a
special cake delivered to the restaurant or your resort hotel room. Just be sure that the restaurant is one of the participating restaurants for cake delivery service.
Staci, there are a number of
Enchanting Extras to consider. You could make a reservation for a princess transformation at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and then dine like royalty at Cinderella's Royal Table. Or, you could do something different like
Backstage Tales, one of the nature experiences at Animal Kingdom!
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
