1st visit at DVC member

I just booked my first visit as a DVC member at BLT in February. During our visit, my son will turn 5, is there anything special I can plan to do for him?

On the day of his birthday tell them at the front desk and they'll give him a pin with his name on it. EVERYWHERE you go, EVERYBODY will wish him a Happy Birthday. I'm sure it will bring him a smile.

They might even ask you what his favorite character is, and might call him or give him a signed b-day card with a pic of his favorite character!

We were at WDW for our daughter's 5th birthday and she had a blast. She received a fair amount of attention while wering her birthday pin. Lots of happy birthday wishes, a free pin from a CM, things like that.

We also signed her up for a pirate cruise (it was about $30 and she loved it. We did the one that departs from the Grand Floridian, but there are others too). She LOVED this by the way. And, of course, we scheduled a character meal for her birthday dinner. You can arrange for a cake with your dinner, if you wish, but there is a decent chance he'd get a birthday cupcake for free if you don't do buy a cake. Cake prices and selection can vary, depending on where you are dining. Most/all places have a very standard little cake, some places (like the Grand Floridian) have a wide selection of cake sizes, designs available.

I actually prepared a little gift from Mickey and I am glad I did, as she did not receive one from the resort. I just bought a few little things from the gift shop (a ball for the pool, a Pluto pen, a jibbitz for her crocs) and signed a Mickey post card from him.

No matter, what he'll have a great day; he will be at WDW afterall!
