Birthdays at Disneyland – California
Birthdays are very special no matter how old you are and when it’s your kid’s birthday, it gets even more special for them as well as to the parents. Of all the Disneyland and Disney World trips we made in last 4 years, I must say, Disney makes us feel really special our Birthdays. So with all the experience we have, we made a list of things to do on your/Your Kid’s Birthday at Disneyland to make their day EXTRA magical because, There’s nothing like celebrating a birthday at the Happiest place on the earth.
Birthday Button :
This is the first thing to do as soon as you enter the park. Visit the Guest Relations upon entering the Disneyland Park and ask for a Birthday Button. It’s totally FREE and also makes a good souvenir. You can ask one at the Front Desk, If you are staying at any of the Disney Resorts/Hotels
Greetings from staff :
As soon as you put the Birthday button on your shirt, You will receive tons and tons of greetings from the Disneyland Staff and also the visitors. Who doesn’t like to get greeted that too on a special day? My 3 year old was all smiling whenever someone wishes him.
Complimentary Treats :
Birthdays are all about treats and you can get some for FREE at Disneyland’s Ghirardelli store. Ghirardelli usually gives FREE Samples for everyone but on your Birthday you can get a few extra.
Birthday song by the Band :
Ok, I have to say , I was more happy than my son when one of the Bands sung a special Birthday song upon request. It depends on when you ask, I would suggest you to ask them when they are done with their live performance. Just take your kids to them and ask politely if they can sing a Birthday Song for him/her(make sure your kids are wearing the Birthday Button). Isn’t it pretty awesome ???
Greetings from the Characters :
We were seated in a front row during the parade and almost every character noticed the Birthday Button on my son’s Coat and wished him “Happy Birthday” and some also gave a High-Five. Doesn’t that make you feel special if this happens on your Birthday??Just make sure you are seated in a front row.
Birthday Themed Rides :
Yes, you’ve heard it right. There are some Birthday themed rides at Disneyland which am sure you wouldn’t wanna miss. Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland are two such rides which has a Birthday Theme. My little one’s favorite was the ‘Winnie the Pooh’ where everyone celebrates Pooh’s birthday in the end and he felt they were celebrating his birthday.
Complimentary Dessert with a Birthday Song :
When you reserve for a Character Dinning at any of the Disney Restaurants, make sure they know that you are celebrating your birthday so that they can give you a complimentary Dessert after your meal. The waitress will also sing a Birthday Song for your little one before they blew their candle. (Be sure to make the reservations atleast 60 Days before your Disneyland Trip)
Complimentary Balloon :
A Birthday is incomplete without Balloons. When you stay at any of the Disney Resorts,Just let the front desk know that you are there to celebrate your lil one’s Birthday and They will give him/her a complimentary Mickey Balloon.
In-Room Surprises :
Apart from all the above , one more thing you can do to make your lil one’s birthday special is by planning a in-room celebration at any of the Disney Hotels/Resorts. This is not the cheapest option but t’s definitely worth.You can check the prices HERE

This would be every child’s dream – celebrating their birthday at Disneyland. I knew Disney is great about making their guests feel special, but it looks like they go above and beyond for birthdays. Kids would love the special button, balloons, sweets and attention!

We are planning to go to Disneyland for my son’s 4th birthday and this post has been so useful. I did not know about all the free treats. My son is going to be super happy when I get him all the goodies as a surprise!

Now I wish I knew this as a child or a teen – these days I shy away from people knowing its my birthday 🙂 Great tips and what a way to feel like a VIP then to have people greeting with a BIrthday Wish. Also all those special extras having the band sing to you and the free dessert, that’s a magical birthday!

My husband is the same, he gets embarrassed when people wish him on his birthday. But Me and my son literally celebrate our birthdays the whole week 😍

It has been my dream to celebrate my birthday in Disneyland. We were able to visit during my mom’s birthday and it was awesome. We were able to get a birthday button too from the Guest Relations. We got a lot of stickers from the staff too. 🙂
eazynazy
Ohh yes, they give lots and lots of stickers I remember.Disney is just awesome for every occasion

This is like the dream of every kid. I would still like to celebrate my birthday in Disneyland even being an adult. I wasn’t aware they celebrate birthdays in such an organized way. It’s really cool!

Oh yeah! Birthdays in Dinseyland would definitely be magical. I should think of celebrating the next or the following birthday of my gal there.
This is so adorable! Everything – badge, extra chocolates, balloon, song by the band, everything!!!

Everytime I’m reading about Disneyland I came to assumption that people working there really love their jobs.

Disneyland is synonymous to fun but I am glad they make the birthdays so special. I mean so much right from the badge to the birthday band to dessert. Thanks for sharing.
