We are spending a few days in Disney during February for our son%26#39;s 5th birthday and was wondering if there is anything we should be on the lookout for or make reservations for on the day of his birthday to make it extra special. I realize that staff members are not supposed to give extra attention to children just because it is their birthday, but wondering if his birthday would be the day to do a character meal or something else that maybe I have not thought of.....This will be our first trip to Disney so I really do not have any idea....We are staying at the Polynesian...
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Making a 5 Year Birthday Extra SpecialAbsolutely!! A character meal with his favorite characters would be a great idea and not extremely cost prohibitive either.
What are his favorite Disney characters? Here%26#39;s a page that gives all the character dining meals to help you decide:

Just be aware that, as of this weekend, the character meal at Liberty Tree Tavern is sadly ending, so that one won%26#39;t be available.
Making a 5 Year Birthday Extra SpecialBTW, you do know about the ';free entry on your birthday'; at Disney, correct?
Be sure, when you arrive at your given park on his big day, you go to the guest services area and get him a birthday pin to wear that day. He may get just a little bit of extra service for it, but don%26#39;t count on it 100%.
FYI, you need to sign-up for the Birthday ';free entry';, before you arrive at Disney. You can order decorations for your hotel room, have a ';celebration package'; at your character meal, order a special birthday cake, etc. It%26#39;s the perfect time to celebrate, at Disney!
There is a wonderful ';Pirate Cruise'; at the Grand Floridian (next door to the Poly) that your son will love. I have heard rumor that the Poly may also host a pirate cruise. Worth checking into.
You%26#39;ll have so much fun, celebrating on your trip!
Another option might be the T Rex Restaurant at downtown disney. I know my sons favorite characters don%26#39;t have a character meal. Buzz, Woody, Sully, Mike, etc.
What a great place to spend a 5th birthday.
Hi Patsfirrrl
We just spend our daughter 6 years birhtday at T-Rex
on the 30 th December They have good food and we got a share dessert with some iceing smoke on the table and the servants was singing for her. Only thing about this restaurant is that You dont book above You have to que to get a table so start a bit earlier then You want to eat.

Have Fun :)
Thank you all so much for the great ideas! I think we will spend most of our time on property, although the TRex restaurant sounds fun, my 15 month old may be terrified. I plan on making him a special shirt with mickey iron ons and getting him a button - maybe balloons. We are all set for the free admission (thank you very much) and can%26#39;t wait for our trip! I think I%26#39;m more excited than he is! I%26#39;m sure I%26#39;ll have a ton more questions - this forum is soooo informative. Thanks again!
