#DisneyFamilia: Cumpleaños feliz at Disney

Today is my birthday and as many previous years, I will celebrate it at Walt Disney World Resort! Why? Because not only is your birthday special, but at Disney they really make it even more special!

It doesn't matter if you want to celebrate your kids' special day or if you want to spend it with your friends and/or significant other, our theme parks and our resorts have what you are looking for!

From character breakfasts – my favorites are at O'hana, Chef Mickey and 1900 Park Faire (because I love Mary Poppins!) – to fine dining with romantic ambiance, you can never go wrong.

One of my best birthday dinners was at California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort. We had a delicious cena and then saw Magic Kingdom's fireworks. And I will never forget celebrating my son's first birthday at 'Ohana. He loved meeting the personajes and enjoying his first cupcake!

On my wish list is to spend a birthday at The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. You can barbecue in your cabin, rent a golf cart and drive around the resort, enjoy the pools, and even go to the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.

And last but not least, be sure to go to Guest Relations at the Parks or at the Front Desk at the resorts to get your Happy Birthday button! That way everyone, including the Cast Members and other visitors will know it's your special day and will wish you a "Happy Birthday"! After all, it is your day!

What is your favorite way to spend your birthday at our resort?

Showcase Your Super Hero-fueled Fashion and Be Captain at Marvel Day at Sea

Greetings Disney Parks Blog readers! Our Marvel Day at Sea voyages are just around the corner, with action-packed fun and entertainment in store. To help you get into the Super Hero spirit for the adventures that lie ahead, we joined forces with Disney fashion expert Leslie Kay – creator of the DisneyBound blog – to share inspiration and tips for expressing your own super personality.

What's better than being boss? Being Captain, of course! Every ship has at least one captain, but when the Marvel Universe assembles on the Disney Magic, Captain America is at the helm. Cap will make appearances throughout the ship and you too can exemplify his courage, heroism and patriotism in your Captain America-inspired look. You can do this all day!

Styling tips from Leslie: Some sort of striping around the midsection is key. The rest is color blocking. Blue on the arms and legs and red around the wrists and feet. Any sort of star or Americana accessories work.

For more ideas to express your Super Hero "character"istics and to get a glimpse at what you can expect during this epic event, keep following along on the Disney Parks Blog as we reveal more Marvel Day at Sea fun in store.

Latest on Enhancement to The Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom Park

Since the Magic Kingdom Park opened in 1971, The Hall of Presidents has brought together a one-of-a-kind look at the office of the President of the United States through film and the magic of Disney's Audio-Animatronics technology. Despite some media reports to the contrary, President Trump will have a speaking role in The Hall of Presidents, like every president since 1993. We have been working closely with the current White House — just as we have with previous administrations — and the president's recording session has been scheduled. The attraction will re-open in late 2017.

Whenever we refurbish one of our attractions, we take the opportunity to consider a broad range of enhancements. In this case, The Hall of Presidents is getting a new show, and a complete theater upgrade including a new sound system, lighting and high-definition projection system. The multi-screen viewing experience you may have seen in prior versions of the attraction is returning with an even wider vantage point of our country's history.
