Birthdays at Walt Disney World: Let the Fun Begin!
Sophie's Button was hand drawn by one of the Disney Artists!

We love taking our vacation trips during Sophie’s birthday!  There is so much to enjoy at Disney when you are visiting for your birthday, for us it is a no-brainer to book our vacation during that time of the year!  For this post, I’m going to go into some of the special touches that Disney puts on to help you celebrate your birthday right!

First of all, I have found it a key point to make sure that Disney knows that you are celebrating a birthday when you check-in.  In fact, I have made sure that they know even before we leave home, because I want to make sure that Sophie’s birthday is given the special attention that it deserves!

When we check-in, the first thing that the Cast Member does is create a special birthday button for Sophie, with her name written on it for everyone to see.  It should be noted here that rarely does the name last all week for us, but last year, we were able to get Sophie’s birthday button redone by one of the Disney Artists over at Hollywood Studios!  It was really cool, and made Sophie’s day when he re-did it!

Another really cool thing that Disney does for the birthday person is to give them a free dessert when you eat at a table service restaurant.  For Sophie, it was always a special brownie or cupcake that she could decorate herself.  In addition, for our character meals (which we love to have, by the way, but that’s a different post), the characters always give Sophie a signed birthday card for her to keep.

Another special thing that Disney has done for Sophie on her birthday include the time that the Fantasyland Woodwind Society played “Happy Birthday” for Sophie and another lady who was also celebrating her birthday while we were in line for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

 

Lastly, one of the coolest things happened to us when we were visiting Disney during Sophie’s birthday one year.  That year, we came home from the parks to find our room had been decorated with a special balloon, birthday card and picture from Minnie Mouse!  Sophie was so excited, and so were we!

All of these special touches have added up to some wonderful birthday memories for Sophie and us, and plans for more birthday memories to come!

  1. I totally agree @Kristen. I wore a BD button when we visited in 2008 and am far from being a kid. I couldn’t have been more excited when I found a BD balloon and card signed by Mickey & Minnie in our room if I HAD been 9 instead of 59!… It was great getting BD wishes from most of the CMs I encountered plus a few guests, too! I received great BD surprises at several places where we ate, plus a fastpass or 2 and even got to participate in the SOA show, much to the embarassment of my family. I’m anxious to see what magic will happen this May when we return and I wear a Happy Anniversary button. Stay tuned.

  2. I love doing my birthday at the park. Even as a “grown-up”, nifty things still happen. This last trip coincided with our anniversary, and we also received treats (at two different restaurants) and a card from the characters at Crystal Palace. 🙂
