Birthday Cakes At Disneyland

Birthday cakes at Disneyland are called the Mickey Mouse Celebration Cake. They’re not just for birthdays. You can use them to celebrate anniversaries, graduations, a honeymoon or any special day! We ordered a celebration cake for my daughter’s birthday celebration on our last visit to Disneyland.

The cakes are shaped like Mickey Mouse! They really are adorable! You get to choose the flavor of the cake. You can choose between chocolate cake and white chocolate cake. My daughter choose white chocolate for her birthday cake at Disneyland and it was delicious! I was actually surprised by how yummy it was! I’ve heard the chocolate is really good too.

You can have a special message added to one of the chocolate ears if you like. You can choose between “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations”. Or, you can choose to leave them blank. The cakes are adorable either way! Due to their size and design, Mickey Mouse celebration cakes are not available with custom flavors or writing. Every part of the cake is edible, including the ear

One cake feeds 4-6 people. We had 6 people and the cake was just the right size for our family. We didn’t have any leftovers. Cakes cost $48 per cake, plus tax and gratuities where applicable (pricing subject to change); the cake will be added to your restaurant bill, and charged at the conclusion of the meal.

How To Order A Birthday Cake At Disneyland

Here’s how to order a birthday cake at Disneyland. First, you need to make a reservation at a participating table service restaurants. We enjoyed our birthday cake at Disneyland at the River Belle Terrace. You can only get a celebration cake from the following places:

• Blue Bayou Restaurant
• Café Orléans
• Lamplight Lounge
• River Belle Terrace
• Wine Country Trattoria

When making your reservation, you can add a Mickey Mouse celebration cake to your reservation when you book online at least 3 days in advance of the reservation. Or, you can order in person at the restaurant’s host podium, or at the Concierge Desk at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels. Requests for same-day cakes must be made in person upon arrival at the restaurant.

I recommend adding your birthday cake at to your Disneyland table-service restaurants reservation ahead of time, just to make sure you’re able to get one. Supply is limited for same-day cake requests and you’d hate to miss out on a cake for your special occasion!

Please note: Mickey Mouse celebration cakes contain gluten, wheat, soy, milk, and eggs. The cakes are produced in facilities that may also include other allergens such as peanuts and tree nuts.

Complimentary Birthday Button

Be sure to get a complimentary birthday button on your visit! This a fun and free way to celebrate your Birthday at Disneyland or any other special occasion. Birthday buttons can be found inside City Hall on Main Street, the U.S.A. in Disneyland Park, or at Guest Services in Disney California Adventure Park. Most shops will also have a supply of celebrations buttons, so just ask any of the cast members and they can help you out.

When you’re wearing your birthday button don’t be surprised if a Disney cast member or two and even other Disney park guest wish you a happy birthday!

Disney Gift Cards

Disney gift cards are a good idea for anyone who will be spending their birthday at Disneyland! They can use them to buy all kinds of souvenirs! They can also use them to buy treats or you can even use them to pay for park tickets! They’re such a great gift and very versatile. We asked her grandparents to give my daughter Disney gift cards before her birthday and she had a blast using them in the parks ad at Downtown Disney.

Flowers/Decorations

If you’re looking to add something extra special to your Disney celebration you might want to consider flowers or decorations for your Disneyland resort hotel room. Disney floral and gift services have a variety of options to choose from that they can set up or deliver directly to your room if you’re staying on property at the Disneyland Resort. This is such a fun way to have an in-room celebration! You can check them out here.

Special Disney Dining

Adding a character dining experience is a fun way to celebrate a birthday at Disneyland! You get to eat delicious food while meeting some of your favorite Disney characters! Maybe breakfast at the Plaza Inn with Minnie Mouse would be fun? Or perhaps dinner with Goofy at Goofy’s Kitchen is more your speed? Whichever character dining option you choose, I know you’ll have a great time! Keep in mind, that you’ll most likely need reservations for your character dining. Reservations can be made on the Disneyland app or website 60 days in advance.

Make The Day Extra Special

There are lots of ways to make birthdays at Disneyland special. We like to let the person we’re celebrating run our day. This is a great way to let kids feel involved and extra special on their birthdays. We like to let the birthday kid pick which rides we go on and the order, where we eat, what treats we buy, which shows we see, etc! They get to run the day! They choose their favorite Disney characters to visit and even how late we stay in the parks. This is just a fun simple way to give them some extra special attention and my kids love it!
