Hear ye, hear ye! A royal greeting to Matthew, who has come to the Kingdom of planDisney with a wonderful inquiry! Seriously, Matthew, what a great question about what sounds like a very special celebration—a true birthday fairytale!
As someone who often travels with a big family, we also divide our reservations into smaller parties at some of the most popular restaurants. While sitting together is not guaranteed, I can tell you from experience that the magical Cast Members will wave their fairy wands and do everything they can to sit your parties near one another. My family has always had a good outcome using this strategy.
I suggest checking in early and speaking with the Cast Members to let them know you wish to sit near each other and explain that it's a birthday celebration. Additionally, be prepared to be flexible if you have to wait a bit as they work their magic. They truly will do their best for you.
Now, Matthew, as a planDisney panelist in the Kingdom of planDisney, let me offer you a few suggestions to enhance this royal celebration!
* Be sure to stop by Guest Services and ask for a birthday celebration button. This way, Cast Members and other Guests can share in the celebration by offering birthday wishes to your family.
* If interested, you can pre-order a
Mickey Mouse Celebration Cake to be delivered to your table at participating restaurants. These cakes are adorable and delicious.
* Don't miss visiting
Sir Mickey's, located across from Cinderella Castle, during your trip. There's a complimentary service I call "pixie dusting." Just ask a Cast Member for a sprinkle of Tinker Bell pixie dust—it's a fun experience that will make the birthday celebrations even more magical. While you're there, check out their enchanted Royal Portrait Studio.
Disney PhotoPass photographers can take unique photos for your celebration. Visiting here is complimentary, and no reservation is needed. And if you have
Memory Maker, these photos will be added to your photos!
Matthew, I'm sending you
planDisney pixie dust that your birthday celebration inside the iconic
Cinderella Castle will be as magical as can be! Please visit us anytime. We love helping your magical moments become memories of a lifetime!
Happy celebrations,
Shonette
