How about a haircut at the main street barbershop. It is inexpensive and they really are adorable.

Yes, he is pretty much bald! Here is a picture from a few weeks ago...

What about ordering a cake from the Disney bakers to be delivered to one of your TS meals?

Definitely note that it is his birthday on your ressies and make sure to get him a birthday pin.

That is a great idea on the birthday cake! I wonder which TS meal we should do this on? Do you think it makes a difference??

There are some TS meals that will make a little extra birthday magic happen. When we went in November, Crystal Palace had confetti and streamers on our table and then brought a birthday card signed by all the Winnie the Pooh characters. Just last week my BFF was there with her family. Once again CP did an awesome job at making a little birthday magic for her son, but the Princess meal at Akershus didn't really acknowledge her little girl's birthday.

What TS ressies do you have?

We have CP, Chef Mickeys, Cape May, Hollywood and Vine, 1900 Park Fair, Scifi drive-in, Hoop Dee Doo, and Tusker House. (Can you tell we like character meals??

)

I know CP will do something for his birthday. I think I have read where Chef Mickey's does something special for birthdays. I would definitely suggest having a cake at a character meal. It might garner just a bit more attention to the birthday boy from the characters. Figure out which character he likes the most and have the cake at that meal.

I'd definitely mention the birthday at the character meals, usually they love to celebrate those.

We celebrated birthdays for my three kids at CP, Chef Mickey's, and Tusker House (Breakfast). CP and Tusker House presented the child celebrating a cupcake and a card with the character's signatures. Chef Mickey's presented just a cupcake. I'm not sure if it was just a simple oversight, or if they just give out the cupcake. I love CP, my dh enjoyed the food at Chef Mickey's, and we had a wonderful experience at Tusker House. You can't go wrong celebrating at any of your choices

Have a wonderful time!

I think we will order the cake for our TS meal at Crystal Palace. It is my FAVORITE character meal and Pooh and Tiger are just too sweet for a 1st birthday.

Have fun celebrating your little one's 1st birthday at the world! We went for DS's 1st birthday and we'll be going for baby #2's 1st birthday too!

Good choice! We did CP for my younger son's first birthday and we had a blast and got some great pictures. They did a great job like others have said with a decorated table and a card and lots of 100 acre attention.

It looks to me like you have a super cute souvenir from your last trip!! wink wink nudge nudge
