My younger daughter just turned 10 last and it made me reminisce about when she turned five, we were at Disney World.
We didn’t plan the trip because of her birthday, those dates just happen to fall on her special day but I have to say it was so magical to be at Disney for your birthday, especially as a little girl, who LOVES Minnie Mouse.
We picked up a “I’m celebrating” button and everyone, I mean every team member, wished her a happy birthday.
On our trip, we did a trip to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique the night before her birthday and the next morning we went to Chef Mickey’s for a character breakfast. It was such an amazing trip for a five-year-old girl and for mom as well!!
Pro Tips:
#1 Schedule your Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique trip at Disney Springs instead of inside The Magic Kingdom, you’ll save valuable park time. We had our appointment on a non-park day and enjoyed Disney Springs afterward.
#2 Purchase your Disney princess dresses before you travel to save money and bring it out while you are on vacation. I let my girls wear them to their new dresses to their Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointments.
#3 I bought them Disney Princess pajamas that look the costume dresses, much lighter and easier to wear around the parks all day in Florida. The Disney Store, Amazon, or Kohls is a great place to pick these up.
#4 Schedule your character breakfast again on an off park day, we did the breakfast option, a little cheaper than dinner and better food options for picky eaters.
