Will any of these restaurants do something special for birthday?

[jana616]

Our arrival day (9/7) happens to be my 32nd birthday. Still working on our plans, so I am not sure if we will be at Epcot or MK for the evening, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with any of these places and birthdays. I don't care much (and I understand nothing is guaranteed), but DS5 will really get a kick out of anything done for me (cupcake, singing, etc.). If one of these typically does something, we might arrange for that to be our meal that first night.

Our choices are (all for dinner):

1900 Park Fare
'Ohanas
Le Cellier
Chef Mickeys
Garden Grill

TIA!

Not sure anymore with all the birthdays being celebrated, but when I was there for my birthday in 2007, I got a cupcake at 'Ohanas, Chef Mickey's (and Happy Birthday sang).
This past January got a great dessert at LeCellier.....chocolate mousse cake and Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate.
Haven't been to the others at birthday time.

Just go with what you want, some will do something, some won't.

OK, thanks. We are planning on all of these at some point on the trip, it was just a question of which one on my actual birthday. Sounds like any of them will be fine!

We were there in March for a week to celebrate my DS12's birthday. The only place we ate at that is on your list is Garden Grill and I really don't remember them doing anything. He got special birthday cards signed by all the characters at the Akershaus Princess breakfast and at Crystal Palace. Also at these 2 places and CRT our table was decorated. They did sing to him at Tutto's, in Italian or course, and CRT. And all the characters made a big deal about him because he had on his birthday button. And yes he got a special birthday cake from just about everywhere we ate.
Have a great birthday trip!

My son and mother both celebrated a birthday while we were at the parks a few years ago. We went to many restaurants and all of them did something nice for them when they saw the birthday buttons they were wearing. Garden Grill was one of our favorites. Not only was the view fun, the food was great and because of the birthdays, Mickey and Pluto came to our table and lead the restaurant in singing of Happy Birthday. Then they got to decorate cupcakes.

They may or may not do anything special for you. I have been on my bday ,honeymoon, and anniversaries and never received anything other than well wishes.I wouldn't go expecting anything at all, then if they do something it will be a nice surprise.If having something is really important I would order and purchase a cake

Thanks for the additional replies. Sounds like any of them will be fine. Like I said, it's not particularly important to me that something be done, and I understand there is no guarantee. But my DS would get a huge kick out of something being done, so if there was a greater chance of it one place or another, or someone had a really nice birthday experience one place, I wanted to know. Garden Grill seems like it may fit our plans best anyway, so that may be our choice.

Will your DS5 be celebrating his birthday when you are there? We always let our boys each pick a "birthday", since we can't go on their real one because of school. Chef Mickey's is a good choice because they get a cupcake with a candle and Mickey sprinkles.

Chef Mickey----special cupcake and autographed place mat
Garden Grill---one year a free cake, last year a decorate your own cupcake

LeCellier---cupcake
1900 Park Fair dinner----crown and cupcake

Bear in mind that all this was for a boy who is now 9 years old.
