Birthdays at Chef Mickey's?

[MickeyHereWeCome!]

Does Chef Mickey's do anything special for birthdays? Could we have a cake ordered or something? Do the cm's sing? We are traveling weeks after 3 of our kids have birthdays, so we plan to do one celebration day for all while on this b'day trip to WDW. We'd want to pick our celebration day to be a MK day so they can get their b'day badges. The only other meal we'll be doing at MK is Crystal Palace, so if anyone knows if they'd do anything, please let me know.

TIA

We did Chef Mickey 3 years ago before we moved her and my friend had told them it was DDs birthday (1 week late) and her niece's birthday - at that time they were given a placemat signed by the characters, and some sort of goodie with a candle...

I was at Crystal Palace Wed evening for my birthday, and when we went to our table there was a paper streamer and Mickey Head confetti on the table. At the end of the meal I was brought a cup cake with candle, and two of the CMs sang to me along with my DD. I was also given a birthday card signed by the characters. I had my birthday button on, and it is amazing how the CMs see those things - they must really keep an eye out, I had so many so Happy Birthday, and the characters pointed it out as well when DD was getting autographs and pictures. What a magical way to spend my birthday...... even as a grown up - it made me feel special, this was the first birthday in the three that we have lived her, that I was able to spend at WDW.

Okay - back character meals.

At Ohana's character breakfast on Saturday (this was supposed to be my birthday meal, until I decided I wanted to go out on Wed too) I was given a lei and a card when I entered the restaurant, and brought a really yummy choc chip muffin w/candle.

You can order other cakes for birthdays - I believe they have small round cakes available upon request when you arrive (around $13), and larger cakes can be ordered by calling the restaurant bakery (you get the numbers from Disney Dining), and I was told they only need 48 hours notice for these.

That's all I know about birthdays - we are having DDs birthday at 1900 Park Fare next Sunday (3/5), with 5 people, so I think I will be ordering some special cake, I have to call this week!

Thank you for sharing!!! It definitely sounds like we can find a way to make our multiple birthdays even more special!!

I'd like to add a thanks for that information. We'll be down there in early December for my daughter's birthday. On the actual day I was planning to do the IoA character breakfast - but just realized they only do it Thurs. through Sunday. I tried a search here for the word birthday but there seems to be some error with that word? Anyway, these suggestions were helpful - if anyone else has other ideas or things they've done, please add! Or if someone knows of a thread about this, direct me, please! Thanks!
