Disney World 2007 Family trip with birthday need suggestions please! :)

If you are going to Disney World I would do the hopper pass.You can get a vacationa package that includes hotel, tickets, airfare, and so on depending on what you want.During the Christmas time the ride the Haunted House is transfromed into the Night Before Christmas and the park is decorated.You can make reservations at any point.For the birthday boy they just give you a sticker saying that it is his birthday and the staff just greet you with happy birthday all day.

We're going about the same time as you, probably shooting for October or early November. We went in May of this year and the one thing I totally recommend is a character breakfast or dinner. The best one we attended was at Chef Mickey (Contemporary Resort.....adjacent to Magic Kingdom; last monorail stop before you get to the MK). You don't have to stay at the Contemporary Resort to eat there, but you do have to make reservations in advance. It's so worth it. We did a character dinner there, the food was good and the kids were entertained. The characters come to your table and you can take photos of them with your kids. You get a little more time with them that way as opposed to standing in line to see Donald Duck as you enter the Magic Kingdom. If you do this, you could call this his birthday dinner. I don't know if they do anything additionaly for a bday, but you could ask when you make the reservation! We did several character meals, but Chef Mickey was the best by far. They really aren't that much more expensive than a regular meal at Disney... which are all high. You'll spend most of your money getting there (if you fly) and the next big chunck of change will probably come from feeding your family. As far as the holidays go, you might want to do some research online, maybe even from Disneys site itself. I'll be doing this too in the coming months. We can keep this thread going with what we find out and maybe help one another get the most out of our vacations. If your son is a Star Wars fan, next year will be a great year to go since it's the 30 year anniversary for Star Wars and I'm guessing they'll have some great things going on. :)

I would like to pay my hearty prayers to the creator of micky mouse!!

I believ they have a party package where the child picks what he wants to have,burger,pizza,pasta and they should have 10 guests who get Pizza I believe plus a chance to get pics with mickey and friends.If you go to www.disneyworld.com and put birthday party in the search they will tell you how and when you can have a party but I do know you must have ten paying guests to get any discount so if you don't have that many people then this mught not help. Good luck

You need to go to city hall in Magic Kingdom first thing and let them know that it is your son's birthday. He'll get a button that all the characters will recognize and all of them will stop and tell him Happy Birthday...definitely makes you feel special :) Also, there's a good chance you might could get VIP seating for a parade. Ask about that. I would tell you to ask for my cousin who works there and got us the hook up on our honeymoon, but that might be a little odd for him and you as well. Lol. But definitly ask about the VIP seating for the night time parade!!! It is SO AWESOME and your kid will LOVE the fact that all the characters will only have a few people to wave and pay attention to when you're in VIP seating. There were probably only 5-10 other people around us during that parade, and we were on the same side of the street so all the characters were facing our way, and the ones who walked came up to us and shook our hand, hugged the kids and took pics with them, etc. It was really magical. I would also go to Cinderella's Royal Table and make sure the waiter knows it's his birthday. The characters are always in there and might come over and sing to him! :)

hey i can help me out in this ........ b coz am working in the tours and travels company you come to my office i will help u surely. r u ready to come

no

Let everywhere that you eat and go know that it's his birthday, many places in Disney will do something special for him. We went for our honeymoon and wore bride and groom hats and some did a few special things, including The Yachtsman restaurant which gave my wife a rose with dinner.

hey great choice....... i think you better try to go on their website to see what special over there......... i think you plan for next year.....i think it is no early but make reservation before 3 to 4 months....so that you wouldn't get disappointed....... your son will get great surprise!!

I would definately do the park hopper. That way you aren't as limited on where you can go, and don't have to squeeze so much into one day. We went about 18 mos. ago and one site that helped me alot was www.mousesavers.com Lots of great info ! Also search out any msg. boards on the subject :)

yes. Disney World is a geat idea. Your kids will love it.

ya disney world is a wonderful palce to visist with family . go ahead. wish ur son a very happy birthday

if you dont want to piss off you son make Reservations 3 months ahead.

e a pretty drawing.

oh, and definitly make reservations at least a month in advance....two or three to be safe around christmas, it's never too early to make reservations.

hey that's really cool, i think u need to give him a big surprise for his birth day.. get him loads of gifts and cake's.. and do not tell him that ur taking him to disney world,, as i told u,, just keep it as surprise and exciting..
