Whispering Canyon for 9th b-day?

[Mouse Skywalker]

Hello Everyone: I'm planning on running the WDW Marathon, Jan 7th, and we're staying at WL Villas. My DD8 is having her 9th birthday the day before the WDW marathon, January 6th. Would WCC be a good place to go for her b-day dinner? Do they do anything special for b-days? Would she be the center of attention too much because she sometimes gets a little shy - but only sometimes. I thought it would be good to turn in early the night before the marathon (I need to be on the bus to the starting line around 3-4am on Sunday, January 7th), and WCC would be a good easy place to have the b-day dinner.

Thanks for the help.

Yes - have the birthday noted on your ADR. When you get to the podium, mention your DD is a bit shy. I bet they will let her sit while the whole restaurant will sing her happy birthday. You could ask for a simple cupcake with a candle for her. Also ask for a wooden nickel for your DD at Whispering Canyon Cafe as a sovenier (it's free).

What they did at our table (not a birthday) - the CM server threw our straws and napkins at us. When my DH tried to get our servers attention for the bill, he asked politely - she would not turn around, When my DH yelled out her name - she said sure sir, I'll ring up your bill for you. The server was not mad at all that my DH yelled out her name - it was like she was expecting it.

For less attention - Do not ask for another color of crayon, Do not ask for ketchup, Do not ask for a refill of soda.

The food is very good and the place is fun - even for shy folks.

We had a party of 16 and it was my cousin's 6 year old's bday (he was turning 7). It was our last dinner together and his bday celebration dinner. It was very memorable. Now I have heard antics at WCC have been toned down but at the time they sang to him and did a funny bit with the cupcake. We still talk about it to this day as one of the most interesting dinners! Have fun!
