Help for 40th bday in disney!

[xmasbday]

Hi everyone, im new to this board. My sister who is special needs is 40 this xmas and has always wanted to go disney to celebrate this birthday. I want to arrange a special dinner/character lunch or something to mark the day. Can anyone recommend anything suitable to mark this occasion and how soon would i need to book. She really enjoyed meeting the characters a number of years ago when we were there and also enjoyed the wild west show.Thanks for your help!

Hello and welcome to the boards

I'd be booking asap the nearer you get to Christmas the busier it is going to get and if you are talking about going Christmas week the hotels/restaurants will be very full.

What dates are you looking at ? If you were going with a Sunday in your stay you have the Sunday Brunch at Inventions that has great food choices - it's an amazing buffet- and characters. They have a different theme every week.

The only character lunch that is daily is Café Mickey.

Dinner with characters is either again Café Mickey or the dinner buffet at Inventions

Hi booked to go on fri the 14th dec and return Sunday afternoon.

So you got Friday evening, all day Saturday and do you have time for a meal on Sunday or not ?

The Brunch is from 13.00-15.00 and on the 16th the theme is Fairytales with Rapunzel which sounds wonderful and it's rare to have her on a met and greet

I forgot earlier but you also have the Auberge de Cendrillon which is finer dining and you get a couple of Princesses, a Prince and Cindrellas mice that come round.

You can see the new menus for CM and Auberge here on the restaurant sticky plus you have reviews of all 3 that can give you an idea

Vala has done lots of reviews of Inventions - her latest 3 are on this thread

I would definitly reserve your meals as soon as you decide as then you've got them and you won't be wasting time on the day as with you coming over a weekend it will be busy busy

Dreams is always shown at park closing and lasts 20 minutes

If you look at this weeks program it will give you an idea of the meet and greets and special Christmas events that you will be able to see
