I was thinking of doing same thing...But, decided to shower him with gifts instead. We live in Orlando, so pretty easy to buy Disney Souveneirs at lesser prices.
I have purchased everything from a CD, stickers, workbook, Disney Mr. Potato Head, stuffed Goofy and Pongo, a Disney Outfit, Pin starter set (and xtra LE ones), etc. etc. and will sneak into cabin room, which will be decorated, before hubby and son come in- and create a basket full of these things as a birthday gift.
Then, we will celebrate at our table with the smaller cake at dining room...By the way, I found at party supply store a Disney candle with his yr. # "5", and a button which says- "I am the B-day boy" for him to wear. I think he will enjoy the plethora of gifts a lot more...and I don't have to worry about a party that might be difficult considering there is SO MANY kids on board...How many whistles would I have to bring "50"??. Less headaches and more memorable, in my opinion...
I can't wait until we see his face and sees the cabin FULL of gifts and decorated with all the Disney grandeur...
None the less, have a wonderful and magical time- whatever you decide...That's what is all about, right???
PS- My parents (Grandparents to Nicholas) who live here locally will be waving at shore by Jetty Park with a HUGE sign that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY. We shall see it as we sail by. Anyone else celebrating on our sailing, take advantage and have camera ready- you can always say it was for you...Innocent enough, right??
