Hi Crystal!
Welcome to planDisney! How exciting to be celebrating such a special birthday at Walt Disney World Resort! I have three kids and know exactly how much of a milestone that double-digit birthday is - both for your daughter and for you as well!
Crystal, there are so many special ways to celebrate a birthday in the parks! I love your idea of having Mickey Mouse ears custom-decorated to honor the occasion. I was just in the parks last month and saw this option at
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom Park. They had ears (
just like these on disneystore.com) available for purchase and then a variety of options that you could choose from to customize for an additional fee. You could also ask them to add special decorative writing to one of the complimentary "Happy Birthday" buttons for a small fee. Both make great keepsake souvenirs and are a wonderful way to share your celebration with other Guests and Cast Members!
Did you know you can
request a special celebration cake when you make advanced dining reservations for a Table-Service restaurant? These super cute Mickey Mouse cakes are a perfect way to end a special birthday meal! I'd also suggest checking out a
Capture Your Moment photography session to commemorate this milestone birthday in The Most Magical Place on Earth. The purchase includes a 20-minute photo session with a
Disney PhotoPass photographer and is available in several locations. If you have
Memory Maker, all of your photos from the session will be included with that product or you could choose to purchase photos individually if you opt not to purchase Memory Maker.
You may also want to check out some special activities available as part of the
Enchanting Extras Collection to add even more pixie dust to her birthday celebration! My family really enjoyed one of the
dessert parties available at Magic Kingdom Park before Happily Ever After a few years ago. The desserts were delicious, but the VIP view of the fireworks was our favorite part of the night!
Crystal, I hope this information is helpful as you plan for a magical celebration next month! You're always welcome to be our guest here at planDisney so please stop by to see us again if you have any other questions!
See ya real soon!
