Have you ever thought about spending your birthday, or celebrating someone you love on their birthday, at the Walt Disney World Resort? Sure, it might sound like an over-the-top celebration, but in all actuality it’s just good timing for planning that trip that you wanted to take anyway! It’s pretty hard to top a typical day at Walt Disney World, but believe it or not, there are ways to make a birthday at Disney World even more special.
First, did you know that Disney has an entire Floral & Gifts team to help make any celebration magical? You can customize a gift or celebration of any size that includes just about anything your heart could desire. From flowers and wine to spa experiences or blankets and balloons – and almost everything in between, you can have gifts prepared for the guest of honor. You can shop by occasion, by character, or completely customize the gift from your own imagination. Cast members are available to help by phone or you can make your selections online HERE at Disney Floral & Gifts.
Next, you can also order a custom cake several different ways to celebrate a birthday at the Walt Disney World Resort. You can order and have the cake delivered to your table at most table service restaurants. You can pre-order a beautiful, gourmet cake for pickup at Amorette’s Patisserie. The other option is having the cake delivered right to your resort room. Click HERE to begin to explore all the possibilities.
As I mentioned before, every day at Disney is special so the fact that it’s your birthday can easily get lost in all the other magic the birthday boy or girl is experiencing. Some more ways to make the birthday feel extra special could be as simple as making dining reservations at a new-to-you restaurant, or planning a behind the scenes tour.

The price of all these fun celebrations can add up very quickly, so if you find yourself celebrating a birthday at Walt Disney World without the time and/or money to plan any of these special touches, don’t worry! At the very least, stop by guest services and get a birthday button to wear. The birthday guest will get a blue birthday button and everyone else in the party can get a green celebration button to indicate that they’re celebrating along with you. Cast members are great about looking for these buttons and you’ll hear “Happy Birthday” all day long. Who knows, you might even receive some unexpected Disney magic!

Candice was raised in east Tennessee. While in college, her best friend dragged her to a Walt Disney World College Program recruiting session at the University of Tennessee and the rest is Disney history. In the Fall of 1999, Candice became a quick service food hostess for Sunset Ranch Market and Fantasmic at Disney-MGM Studios – or what is now known as Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While soaking up her time as a cast member, she met Ryan, a neighbor and a fellow college programmer who worked as a custodial host at Epcot. Four years later, Candice moved to the Midwest and married that boy from across the hall. They now live in Greenwood, Indiana with their two little boys. The Disney-loving foursome took their first family trip to The Happiest Place on Earth in 2013 and Candice is eagerly planning their return. Candice also works full-time at a community mental health center and enjoys taking photographs and blogging at Mommy in the Midwest.
