Hi Tina!
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question!
I can't imagine a better place to celebrate a birthday than at Walt Disney World Resort. Your daughter will certainly make memories to last a lifetime as she celebrates her 12th birthday at the most magical place on earth!
I'm happy to hear you're planning to visit
Disney's Animal Kingdom Park during your vacation. Animal Kingdom is an amazing theme park, with so much to see and experience. Not only are there awesome animal exhibits, but also thrilling rides and Broadway-style shows.
Finding Nemo - The Musical is my favorite live stage show in all four theme parks. I love to visit the Big Blue World with Marlin, Nemo, and their friends! By the time you visit, there will be a brand new land to explore at Animal Kingdom:
Pandora - The World of Avatar. With two incredible new rides, a new restaurant, and more, Pandora is sure to be a favorite destination of park guests.
From lions and tigers to gorillas and giraffes, there are
lots of animals to see at Animal Kingdom Park. While the park showcases many of our planet's most amazing animals in their natural habitats, unfortunately, pandas haven't yet made their way to Walt Disney World. I hope someday your daughter's birthday wish comes true, and she's able to see some beautiful pandas!
I hope this helps with your planning, and that your daughter has an awesomely magical birthday celebration at Walt Disney World Resort! - Diane W.
