Celebrating birthday while @WDW

[Luvscrappin]

We will be celebrating my DD birthday while dining at Chef Mickey's. Does anyone know what they do for the birthday girl? I told the person I spoke to when I made my ADR. TIA

It really depends. When celebrating birthdays we've had anything from cupcakes and a card signed by the characters to not even a happy birthday from our server. If you want to guarantee something special you can order a cake or one of the new mini-celebration cakes (or add on other goodies like table decorations or goodie bag when you get to the podium). Hope your DD has a great birthday!

We had dinner at CM in late January for DS11's b-day. During our meal, several characters (or it may have been the servers, I can't remember) came around & put cupcakes on the tables of everyone celebrating a b-day. Then there was some sort of b-day thing (maybe a song, I can't remember) & the characters came & posed for a pic. with each one.

Chef Mickey's used to do the birthday placemat thing, but now they've stopped that (or at least no one on that night got one) due to this year's Celebration theme....they WANT YOU TO PURCHASE one of their celebration packages if you want more.

1) Chef Mickey's isn't too special on birthdays.
2) You usually get a cupcake, and sometimes a card signed by characters.
3) Once in a while, a signed placemat.
4) During the meal, they ask for birthdays, and they sing a song for everyone.

NOTE: Birthdays, anniversaries, etc are special to people, but they happen hundreds of times per day at WDW. Thus, they can't spend all that much time on individual events. In most cases you get some kind of recognition, but not a lot of special items.
