Looks like some great birthday plans!
The detail they put into the new Fantasyland is just incredible and I'm sure you'll love it. You're probably right about your DH wanting to take a lot of pictures. The architecture there was made to be photographed.
I hope that he does ok and takes a little nap in the stroller. If not that will definitely cut a short day even shorter. On that note, I'd definitely vote for getting food at the resort rather than cooking. Not only is it too many people, but wouldn't you rather have the time to enjoy his Birthday celebration without having to worry about getting food ready and then cleaning up?
If DS ends up taking a stroller nap, I can definitely see us heading back to NFL just to wander around and let DH take pictures.
Whether it's that day or another day, I know LOTS of pictures will be taken there!
Yeah, I'm starting to think it will be a better plan just to grab some food from the resort. I think they even have pizza delivery from there. Or if we are in MK long enough, getting a CS meal there. I think cooking for that big of a group is going to be more hassle and cleanup than anything else. And definitely want more time for celebrating!
Aww, I want to spend my birthday in Disney World! Sounds like it will be a fun day.
New Fantasyland is amazing! Even though the Little Mermaid rides are the same (atleast I'm pretty sure they are based on the video I saw of the DCA version) I think WDW got the better attraction just because of the castle. You are going to love it! Lefou's Brew is so good-I think you should try it even if you are full from your breakfast. haha
I do too! Except that I have a summer birthday, and I'd rather not go when it's SO hot outside.
At this point I'm the only one in our family of three that has never been anywhere near a Disney park on my birthday!
From the pictures I have seen of LM, it's the same ride, which is why I'm really more excited for the queue and the facade. The one in DCA is just boring! Lefou's Brew WILL be consumed at some point in the trip! I don't know if in the excitement of that first morning, I'll be able to delay it later no matter how stuffed I am from Crystal Palace.
Sounds like DS is going to have a wonderful Disney birthday! And even better that you will finally get to explore New Fantasyland!
Hooray for everything fitting in your new bag
I can't wait! There is SO much new stuff for us between US/IoA and Disney World that we will get to experience on this trip!
I'm pretty excited about the bag, I think it's going to work perfectly in the parks.
Oh my goodness - his birthday character pictures from last year are so perfect! Especially love Mickey holding up 2 fingers and the kiss from Cindy
I'm a big CP breakfast fan myself - and DBF listed that as one of his picks for this trip (without any prodding!) The food is yummy, the characters are fun (I'm a Tigger girl myself!) and I love the CP itself.
We had a blast character hunting last year, and all of the characters we met were so excited about it being his birthday! I can't wait to do that with him again! The princess meet was definitely a highlight of the day, but I don't know if we will do it on his birthday or save the princess meet for our
MNSSHP since I want to meet Rapunzel with Flynn Rider. As cute as the princess meet was though, I wouldn't be opposed to doing it twice!
CP has definitely become my favorite character meal since we started trying them out a few trips ago. I love getting into the park early and getting some really delicious food. We have had some of our best character interaction at the two breakfasts we have done there. I don't particularly love the Pooh characters but DS does and that's what counts!
Hi!
Love the plans for DS' birthday, what a lucky boy.. perfect place to spend his birthday ... can't wait for you to see New Fantasyland, it's beautiful!

He really is lucky! I think I am maybe overcompensating for never getting to go to Disney as a child, but who cares, we all have an amazing time while we are there! And I look forward to many many more magical trips with my kids to come.
I am living vicariously through him in a way because while I would LOVE to spend my birthday in Disney World, it's just too darn hot in June for me.
I can't wait for Fantasyland!! Who am I kidding, there will be lots of happy tears involved when I finally get to walk under those arches!!
I think your bag is very cute and will work really well.
And a birthday/Christmas crossover in WDW is even better. Unfortunately my birthday is in the middle of June, so although I'd love to be in WDW for my birthday, it's just too darn hot!
I like to get him a Disney birthday shirt from Stitcheroos so he can wear it in the parks too!). I think everyone I know was pretty shocked that his first birthday party was Elmo instead of Mickey Mouse or anything Disney related. 
Marissa! It's great to have you! But I know PTR's can be a little on the boring side. 
I really just like to use them as a placeholder until my TR is ready. 
That doesn't sound so good! But it will probably be better for your trip anyway.
