Travel Agent when you book your reservation that it is a Birthday celebration. If it's a child's or a milestone birthday, you can also let them know the age
Tell the Cast Member at your Resort know when you check-in. Sometimes they will do something special for your child ranging from autographed character pictures to balloons in your room. This does not always happen but you may get some surprise "magic."

Make sure your child has an Autograph Book when they wear the button. They will receive special Birthday greetings from the Characters.
Tell the server about the Birthday at all meals on this day. They should bring a cupcake with a candle, or you can order a cake (see above.)
