Celebrating 5 yr daughters birthday

[3bangdoos]

Hi ,
We are taking our 5 yr old daughter for a 7 day trip to WDW for her birthday (April 28) which falls towards the last few days of the trip. Since we have paid in full for all three of us for the entire stay and park entries, we were wondering how does the free entry on your birthday option can be utilised.

Also we have booked for cinderella;s character lunch for her birthday but is there something special that can be done there like a cake maybe or some other sort of a special thing ...either there or in the room.

Would appreciate any information.

Oh and did we tell you... this is our first trip to WDW.

You will have the option to accept a one day pass that can be used in the future, a special fast pass (I'm not sure exactly how this works but I do know that all members of your family would be able to use it), or a 70-75 gift card(the cost of one day at the park I believe. Since she's a child I'm thinking maybe the amount would be for a child ticket?) the gift card can be used on any non food purchases, and even in most of epcot. I used mine in "france" and then in downtown disneys "Once upon a toy". Some of the downtown disney stores will accept them, but not all. Only the Disney owned stores I'm guessing.

Also to get the birthday reward you just go up to the building before you enter the park, I believe it's called "will call" and its sort of in the center, in the front, I believe right after the security check. I had heard you go to city hall inside the park but that is not the case.

Another thing, I also think it can be used at the Disney store that is in most malls, but I am not positive. I think I recall them telling me it could be.
