Birthday Parties in Disneyland

The official Disneyland Birthday Party venue is the Plaza Inn at the end of Main Street USA. They offer parties hosted by Mr. Pat E. Cake., which last about an hour. Each guest gets their own cake to decorate, along with a party hat and souvenir sipper cup. Mickey or Minnie usually show up as special guests, but other characters may come in their place. Reserve up to 30 days in advance by calling 714-781-3469.

Disneyland can also help plan special quinceanera parties.

Other Ways to Celebrate a Birthday at Disneyland

  • Stop at City Hall in Disneyland or Guest Services in California Adventure and ask for a birthday pin. Wear it and you'll get special greetings all day.

  • If you're staying in a Disneyland-owned hotel, tell the staff. They may arrange something special.

  • Anywhere musicians are performing, let them know about the birthday. They might have a serenade.

  • Goodie bags and other birthday-enhancers can be ordered from full-service restaurants in the Disneyland Resort, at Character Dining locations and from hotel room service. Restaurants in Disneyland include Blue Bayou, Cafe Orleans and Carnation Cafe and also Ariel's Grotto in California Adventure. Call 714-781-3469 for more information.

  • You can order a birthday cake at least 48 hours in advance at most of the full-service restaurants in the Disney-owned hotels.
