A Birthday to Remember ~ Disney Style

This year, I get to celebrate my birthday at my favorite place, Walt Disney World. I wanted to share my general plans and things that should make it a very memorable birthday. As there may be slight changes in the plans as time goes on, I'll make small edits to this blog if needed.

Our actual package doesn't start until the day after my birthday, so for the first few nights, we'll be staying in a cabin at Fort Wilderness. Think of it, TWO Disney Resorts on one trip!!!

The day starts with a Character Breakfast at Cape May in the Beach Club Resort. What better way to start a birthday celebration than having breakfast with some of my favorite characters. I'll also get my birthday cupcake and card signed by everyone there.

After breakfast, its off to Epcot, where I will have free admission on my birthday. I'll also pick up a birthday button as well. From there, its off to get a Passport at World Showcase to do a "Birthday Passport around the world". I usually do this on every trip, but this one will be special since its on my birthday!!!

As we're making our way around World Showcase, I can't wait to play at least one round of Kim Possible in World Showcase...but who are we kidding, its going to be more than one round for sure.

After saving the world a time or two, even the best secret agent must stop for lunch. The perfect birthday lunch will be found at Beaches & Cream back at the Beach Club. A chocolate malt and grilled cheese will make my day. Sorry, even though its my birthday, I won't be having the kitchen sink...its just too much. After lunch, we're going inside to have a chat with Art the greeter in the Beach Club lobby. He's such a nice guy and I'll have to have him sign my passport and birthday card as well...not to mention posing for a few photos.

After lunch, its back to Epcot to maybe save the world again (I told you it would be addictive). I'm hoping I can spot the Candy Lady in Japan, as I missed seeing her the past two trips. I also like walking around the shops in World Showcase and seeing all the different things from other countries. Of course, we'll also make our way to Future World for some of the attractions there as well. I will also drop the the Disney Visa Meet 'n Greet to have some birthday pictures taken with my favorite characters. I just want to enjoy my birthday, stroll along, take pictures and talk to people in the countries....and have orange slushies of course!!!

After a day in the park, its off to a character Dinner at 1900 Park Fare. If the day starts with characters, it has to end with them, especially on my birthday. I must get more autographs on my card and yet another birhday cupcake. This is an old favorite, so I look forward to doing this if I can.

Sounds like a long day huh? Its going to be a great day full of excitement, mystery, good friends and good food. Its hard to believe this is actually BEFORE we begin our package...a "pre-trip", if you will...the trip before the trip.

I would like to stop and point out that in all my planning process. My plans generally involve where to eat and unique things to do, as oppose to ride and attraction hopping.

P.S. The photo of Art was taken by my good friend Sharon (see ya on my Birthday).
