Birthday Dinner and Breakfast--some questions.

[PeggyPup]

On our next disney vacation in July, one day will be spent celebrating my mother and my sister's birthdays. They want to spend their day as follows, and I wanted to know if you felt it was possible to do this with these possible dining reservations:

-They want to get an early breakfast at the Donald character breakfast. They say around 8:30 or so.

-They then want to spend the rest of the day in Animal Kingdom, doing the three hour Backstage Safari tour and seeing the Festival of the Lion King.

-THEN that evening they want to go to Epcot and have a birthday dinner at Coral Reef.


My questions?

~ Would the character breakfast be a fun start to their birthday celebration? They're both adults but they love to do fun and silly things. Is the food good?

~Would Coral Reef be a nice dinner?

~A very important question, would it be at all doable to go from a day at Animal Kingdom like that to Epcot for a dinner reservation?

~What special birthday things can we have done for the Coral Reef Dinner? We don't need anything terribly special for the breakfast, it's the dinner that would be the big birthday thing...


I know those are a lot of questions, but I'm worried about how this day will pan out if we go from Animal Kingdom to Epcot. Please help!! Thank you.

Well, with careful timing it most certainly is doable. I think if you believe they will enjoy it, then the dining places are good ones.

I'm not a huge fan of either, but that's not the point, is it?

Not sure what they do at Coral Reef for birthdays. I know at Yachtsman's Steakhouse there are some special things done. With prior notice they gave us special personal menus with the birthday person's name on them, a nice dessert for the birthday person as well as a neat card signed by the characters. One time they include a rose too. So, if that is any indication of what can be done (with an ADR made where the birthday was mentioned) then I'd imagine Coral Reef can do something too?

Have a wonderful time and enjoy the birthdays! (Don't forget to get them both birthday badges when you first enter the park)!

Thanks so much for the help. I think they'll enjoy it, and if I can get birthday specialties in there like that I'm sure it will be great. Thank you.
