Hello there, Joseph!
Wow, your father-in-law used to work on Tom Sawyer’s Island – how cool! Nowadays, that part of Disneyland Park is known as
Pirate’s Lair, and I bet your wife would have a great time exploring the island and seeing what has changed over the years.
In my opinion, celebrating a birthday at the Disneyland Resort is always a great idea. One option you may want to consider is purchasing a
Celebration Cake. We did this for my son a couple of months ago for his birthday. You get either a chocolate or white chocolate moose cake with a special message on it, such as “Happy Birthday.” Several restaurants offer this option as an add-on to your dining reservation, but I would recommend doing this at the
Blue Bayou Restaurant. It is an absolutely beautiful dining location with excellent food as well.
I wish your wife the very merriest of birthdays, and have a great time celebrating her!
Best wishes,
Lola
