Birthday Question

[Revina]

Sorry if this is not the right thread to post on, still new to the boards...

Anyone have any advice for birthday celebration while NOT in the park? We are heading to WDW in January and my husband will be turning 45 while there...we will not be in a park on his actual birthday, as that's just how our reservations and things worked out. We do have breakfast at 1900 Park Fair that morning, but I'm looking to plan a surprise SOMETHING for him that day...any and all suggestions are welcome!

for my wife's 40th we did 2 things that were technically outside the park.

1. I hired a professional photographer and we did a family portrait session at the Boardwalk. Got some great family photos
2. Then we took a Illuminations fireworks cruise that left from the Beach club dock, sailed around the lake and then docked under the overpass to watch illuminations. It was stocked with some and chips and I also added some wine, and ordered a custom birthday cake to be on the boat for her.

neither one req a park ticket or anything.

Many good ideas in this thread from years back. Some may not apply today but am sure most do..

Check the restaurant board for the cake chatter thread. You can surprise him with a very cool cake.

You could eat at the Boathouse at Disney Springs and then go for a amphicar ride.

Does he like massages? If so, how about a spa appointment at GF after your 1900 Park Fare reservation? Or rent a boat at the GF marina?

We did a private Wishes cruise out of the Poly after dinner at 'Ohana for our 5 year anniversary. The boat held 10 people and it was the 2 of us and some of our bridal party that was back down celebrating with us. I booked it and it was a surprise for everyone, including my DH. It happened to be a MVMCP night so the fireworks were really wonderful.
