Celebrating birthday at restaurants....

[JodiR]

We are celebrating my dd's 7th birthday in August. Do any of these places do anything for a birthday.....Crystal Palace, Chef Mickeys, Donalds at AK? I have my PS's set up, but do I need to call back and let them know about the birthday or just tell them when we arrive?

Thanks
Jodi

Jodi, I would suggest calling back and asking the CM to add a note to each PS indicating that it is your DD's 7th birthday. That way it's in their computer when they pull up your PS at the restaurant.

Having said that, when you check in at the restaurant, mention to the CM on duty that your DD is celebrating birthday #7! This way you can be sure it is noted on the card given to the server.

I'm not sure what each restaurant does for birthdays, but this way they know in advance and it can be noted on the server's card. It doesn't guarantee something special, but I think it would improve the odds somewhat.

(As you can tell, I've not celebrated a birthday at WDW. However, my DW and I did celebrate an anniversary at Crystal Palace. They sprinkled Mickey confetti all over the table; our server SANG to us, they played a song and brought us each a nice cupcake with a candle in it! Loads of fun and very special indeed. I hope you and your DD have a super-magical celebration at Disney!!)

We just got back from a fun birthday trip. DD turned 8 and DS turned 3. We celebrated during the week as follows:

Cinderella's Royal Table (Late Lunch) - had both birthdays on PS (and mentioned at check in) When we arrived at the table it was covered with streamers and cute mickey confetti. The kids each received a birthday brownie covered with mickey sprinkles and a candle, along with Magical Memory certificates (bring something to keep these from getting ruined while you are in the park).

Rose & Crown (dinner) - we celebrated my dad's birthday here. We received a complementary dessert - and I think it helped us get a wonderful waterside patio table from which we were able to enjoy Illuminations.

50s Prime Time (dinner) - also celebrated both kids birthdays here. Each recieved a huge cupcake and candle, and a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday". We took pictures with "Uncle Pat". The real fun was that each kid recieved a birthday card, signed by not only our waiter (Uncle Pat), but all our "cousins" at the other tables around us.

Norway Princess Breakfast - As this was actually DD day, this was only for her. The princesses were gracious, and took time for many pictures and autographs. We had Aurora, Jasmine, Mary Poppins, Mulan, Belle and Snow White. The all signed a Magical Memory certificate. Our waitress also had all the wait staff sign the certificate.

Chef's de France (Late Lunch) - DD received a delicious french pastry and a french version of Happy Birthday sung to her by about 8 good looking french waiters - along with a kiss on the hand. She was in heaven.

Chef Mickey's (Breakfast)- DS big day, and the ultimate disney birthday party. My son was seated at a special placemat with birthday button. About every hour they sing a song and waive napkins to celebrate the special days. When it was DS turn, they gave him a big cupcake and candle. He loved the attention. He is still using the placemat at home.

Pizzaria Uno (dinner - Crossroads Center) - they gave us a small cake , enough for us to share with the next table, for DS birthday.


Also, go to guest services at the parks and ask for birthday buttons - each park has them, and they are different. We got them for Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Wear the pins and your daughter will recieve special attention - We got a call from Goofy in Germany, a oragami flower in Japan, and a special note in Chinese on the masks in China, among other things. All this made for very special birthdays for the kids. So in summary GO FOR IT

We're are having DS's birthday dinner at LTT. When I made the PS, I was able to order a cake for just $10 more.

Since it will just be son and I on the trip, I plan to share the cake with other kids that are seated near us. Since that night is also MNSSHP, I hope there will be plenty of kids there.
