Celebrate a birthday at Disneyland Paris

A birthday should be a special occasion, especially when you’re young. Children and teenagers in particular need to feel that their parents have planned something special for them. And if the parents have a great time too, that’s the icing on the cake. But where can children and adults really meet on equal terms? A child can’t pretend to be an adult, but adults can remember their own childhood. Ideally, they can even feel like children again. That’s when the experience feels most genuine and everyone enjoys themselves, often immensely. So the idea is to find a place or an experience where parents can be children again. This can happen through play, while looking through an old photo album or in places that remind adults of their own childhood.

One of the best places in the world for this, and one that appeals to everyone, is Disneyland Paris. After all, we’ve all grown up with Mickey Mouse, Duckburg and the countless other characters from Walt Disney Pictures’ films. These memories are so positive that many people want to pass them on to their own children, watching the films they grew up with together and discovering new ones.

At Disneyland Paris, all these characters come to life again. At this resort east of Paris, they are brought back to life. You can stay in charming themed hotels, such as the Newport Bay Club or the Cheyenne, and enjoy shows and attractions. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday. A birthday here can mark the beginning of something bigger: a family growing closer together, sharing something special and developing a stronger sense of togetherness.

So, what are you waiting for? Start planning the birthday celebration today!

Tips fory your birthday at Disneyland Paris

Pick up a birthday button. You can get one at City Hall or Studio Services. You can also ask at reception or the concierge desk in your Disney Hotel, as they’re sometimes available there too. Unfortunately, the availability of birthday buttons varies considerably, so don’t be too disappointed if none are available during your visit.
Wearing your button makes it clear that it’s your birthday, and you’re sure to receive lots of birthday wishes, especially from Cast Members and Disney characters.
Meet your favourite Disney characters and take a photo together to remember this special day for years to come.
Treat yourself to a birthday cake in one of the restaurants. There are two sizes: a large cake for 6–8 people and a small cake for 2 people.
Relax in a bar at the end of the day and make plans for the year ahead.

Would you like to celebrate a birthday at Disneyland Paris or surprise someone with a birthday cake?
You can pre-order a birthday cake at many restaurants across the resort. You can choose between a delicious chocolate cake and an ice cream cake, with enough for six to eight people, depending on how hungry everyone is.
If possible, order the cake as soon as you arrive at your hotel or directly at your chosen restaurant. If you prefer to plan ahead, you can also order a birthday cake before your trip by calling the hotline on 069 13804107.

The cakes available vary depending on where you celebrate. The classic birthday cake features a Mickey Mouse design. At Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel, for example, there’s also a superhero cake for birthday children. Ask about the different options when booking.
If you’d like a gluten-free cake, that’s no problem. You’ll need to order it at least 48 hours in advance.

dlp.info tip: There are two sizes to choose from: the larger cake serves 6–8 people, while the smaller one serves 2 people.
Bear in mind that the cake is often served after a substantial meal, perhaps even a buffet. Many guests are already full by then and barely touch the cake. Our recommendation: choose the smaller size. You can still surprise the birthday guest without wasting food, and you’ll save money to spend on a nice souvenir or another gift instead.
