birthday

[u092306]

We are doing the 3 day Wonder from May 8-11, '03. Our sons birthday is on May 16th. Do you think it would be o.k. to have a party for him during dinner on the last night ? Would Disney allow it even though it's not his real b-day? He will be turning 6 yrs.old.

I think it would be fine. My DH & I are celebrating our 10th anniversary on 9/15, but the actual date was 9/8. We decided on a Western cruise and the dates just didn't work out. They (the Disney folks) were great about it!!

They don't ask for the date - may just ask you which night you want to celebrate!

They do not offer a birthday party at dinner, but they will bring nice cake to the table and sing Happy Birthday too.

Ok, guess I'm getting old. To me a cake with dinner is a party!

I just did this for both my son and wife for our October cruise. Call at least 3 weeks in advance (advice from an email response from DCL) and tell them who it for and on what night you want to celebrate.

I know what you mean about being old...sometimes to me, a party is a movie that I can make it through (oh yeah, maybe a second beer, too. Whooooppppeeee!).

When I booked my cruise I asked about a party for DD. She will turn 4 on the cruise. I wanted to have a charactor at the table during the birthday cake time. They arranged to have us in the charactor dinner for that night of the cruise.

It is a 7 day eastern cruise.

We had a graduation party for our DD18 last month on the Magic. I had arranged it about two weeks before we sailed. I rented out the ESPN sports club for 1.5 hours and had ordered, soda, juice, muffins, danish, coffee, tea, etc.

I had also put together a video montage of her from birth through H.S. graduation that we showed on the big screens in the club.

She was so surprised and touched she started to cry. We were travelling with a group of 17 so it was alot of fun.

The only drawback was that DCL forgot to put the private party sign outside the club, so we had other guests coming into to the club and taking the soda and bottled water and food thinking it was complimentary. I explained what happened to DCL and they credited me back some of my money.

There was a charge for the food and for the technical services.

Nothing personal but it peeves me when I am at a resort, never mind a very expensive cruise, and a typical public area has been "closed for a private party".

Maybe you did this on off hours or when the club would otherwise been closed?

Just MHO

We travelled on the Wonder 8/1/02. We had 11 people and 3 had birthdays close to our sailing. Kids were turning 13, 12, and 6. The server came to our table the first evening and asked if there were any celebrations. We thought that was wonderful and they arranged one party for the last night. They brought a big cake to the table (just what we needed, more food), they sang happy birthday, but the best part was they knew my kids are "pin traders" and they each got a Cruise Birthday pin. The server was so wonderful that he gave each of them one to keep and one to trade. Well, we found out how valuable these pins were when we went to trade them. The kids were thirlled and it might have been one of the best part of the trip for them.
