It seems natural to celebrate a special occasion at Disney. It’s designed for fun and comes predecorated! So whether you plan a trip around a special day or want to celebrate one that falls during your vacation, you can do it at Disney! Here are our tips and tricks for a magical celebration:

Birthdays—What better place to celebrate a birthday than at Disney? If you’re at a Disney resort, press “0” on your room phone and ask for the special “birthday message.” Be sure to request a free “Happy Birthday!” button at the Guest Relations desk at the theme parks or at your hotel’s concierge. If you want to celebrate in style, all sorts of birthday parties and cruises can be arranged in advance—you can even “invite” Disney characters (though they’re very expensive). For kids ages 4–12, you can arrange a birthday party at the BoardWalk or the Yacht & Beach Club—call 407-WDW-PLAY. For parties in other restaurants, call 407-WDW-DINE. Birthday cruises (407-WDW-PLAY) are also available. One year, Jennifer surprised her mom Carolyn with a special birthday event, planned in part by Gifts of a Lifetime (see sidebar on next page). Families that celebrate Quinceañera, a daughter’s 15th birthday, are invited to contact Disney’s event planning department to plan their party at 321-939-4555.

Engagements—Disney is a magical place to propose. Get ideas at https://www.disneyweddings.com/engagements/florida/ with enchanting extras starting at $99 and custom engagement experiences beginning at $2000.
