Since it's my birthday I thought I'd do a post about a few ways to celebrate your birthday at the most magical place on earth! Last year we celebrated my daughter's birthday at Disney World, so here are some fun things we did, or got, to celebrate her big day.
* Get a birthday button! When we checked in, the cast member gave her one, but if they don't mention it, just ask. It's completely FREE, and it lets everyone know about the birthday you're celebrating. You'll be surprised at how many people, both cast members and other park guests, stop to wish you a happy birthday.
* When you make your reservations, let them know you are celebrating a birthday (your travel agent will do this for you). Tell the seating hostess about the birthday again when you check in for your dining reservations. My daughter got free desserts (at every table service restaurant we went to), and two birthday cards, signed by the characters (at Crystal Palace and Akershus)!!
* Take some magic shots, just for the birthday boy/girl! Technically this isn't "free", but if you're getting the memory maker anyway, these are included! When a photographer saw my daughter's birthday button while taking some family pictures, he asked if she wanted some special birthday pictures. We loved how well they turned out!
* Get a special message from Mickey! I didn't know about this until it happened, but one day we came back to our hotel room, and there was a birthday message on the phone from Mickey, for my daughter. It was awesome! Again, make sure you let the hotel know you are celebrating a birthday.
