Birthday/Special Occasion Cakes
Disney Restaurants:
A Mickey Mouse celebration cake is available to order at any Walt Disney World Resort owned-and operated table-service restaurant. The cakes will be available in decadent chocolate or sweet white chocolate with a special message of “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations” written on the Ears. Each cake serves 4 to 6 guests at a cost of $35 (plus tax and gratuity). Pre-payment is not required, but reservations for the cake should be added to your existing dining reservation in advance, as day-of quantities are limited.

Free Birthday
Perks at Disney World
- Inform Cast Members/Travel Agent when you book
your reservation that it is a Birthday celebration
and provide them with the name and age of the Birthday
child.
- Let your Resort know when you check-in. Sometimes
they will do something special for your child ranging
from autographed character pictures to balloons in
your room. This does not always happen, but we have
heard of many instances where it has.
- Make sure your child has an ‘Autograph Book’ when
they wear the button. They will receive special Birthday
greetings from the Characters.
- Tell the server about the Birthday at all meals
on this day. They will [sometimes] bring a decorated cupcake
to the table (sit-down dining only) with a candle
in it.
- If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel,
contact the front desk upon your arrival in your guest room to request a special birthday
phone call for your child from a Disney Character.
- Purchase a passport in EPCOT to have stamped in
each country around the World Showcase and
make sure the Cast Members who signs it know
it’s your child’s Birthday. They will
receive Birthday greetings in many different languages.
