Celebrating a birthday at Coral Reef

[sl_underwood]

We will be celebrating my sons 5th birthday at Coral Reef in Epcot, is there anything special we can have them do? Can we order a cake and will they sing happy birthday. My son loves fish so I think the setting will be perfect, just wondering what they will do to help us celebrate the ocassion.

I've heard that you can have a diver hold up a sign from inside the tank...but I've never been there myself.

The diver might be cool but seeing as my son doesnt read, not sure if he would understand or not. I love the personalized menu idea, do you know what the charge is for this?

I just spoke with a cm and they told me those services were not available. Do I need to contact the restaurant to make these arrangements?
Thanks

I know that you can order a cake though disney dining there is a cake that feeds 8-10 people for $25 my friend ordered one for her two kids for Jan 3 and they had it ay Tony's when we had dinner there for a birthday dinner. The cake was very yummy....i think you have to prepay if you are stayingon property i'msure they would just add it to your room

Sadly the Cm you spoke to is correct. The dive tank or getting Mickey to hold up a sign are very difficult to come by. Our son turned 7 there and we tried everything short of an act of congress and nothing worked. The Cm that we worked with said it was only a 'once in a blue moon' thing and that never to depend on it.
A cake may be the best thing you can do and they can be ordered for a small cost.

Sorry, I wish I had better news for you. Chances are with a 5 year old, the wonderful fish and awesome tank will be enough to dazzle him.

The CM is wrong.
You can still get either depending on availability.
You must have an ADR already before they will respond.

I just requested personalized menus fo my 4 year olds birthday...
They asked me for pictures and they will make it! You have to be able to upload/email pictures in!

Contact the restaurant directly for a diver or a personalized menu

How far in advance do you recommend contacting Coral Reef? We will be going in June, but I was unsure when I should contact them.

Thanks

I would think the earlier the better...
I did this VERY late and only did it 1 week before our reservation... It depends on how much you want to get this done...

I personally have told NO ONE going to lunch with us about it...
Not even my husband as I requested a personalized menu for him too since it was just his birthday saturdayl!
