After my daughter went to sleep the night before her birthday I decorated. I had steamers, banner and balloons. Then I had 6 bags I made. Each one of the characters - mickey, Minnie etc.
I brought everything from home. Then the day was up to her. She wanted MK and swimming. Then the night of I surprised her with the Tomorrowland Fire work dessert party.
One of the cool things that happened. Because we left the decorations up in the room, housekeeping added to it. The made a cute birthday cake out of wash clothes and created an elephant out of pillows and towels and had her princess tiana ride it. And they placed a little towel creature in the window holding a balloon on a stick from our decorations.
My daughter talks about It all the time.
