Having worked there, I often receive requests about celebrating a birthday at Disneyland Paris, offers planned for the day of your or the children’s birthday, options for Disney birthday invitations, and other related topics.
Therefore, I decided to write a short article with all you need to know about the birthday offer at Disneyland Paris, so I don’t have to repeat myself every few days … I know I’m lazy. Still, with this post, I might also answer those who can’t find clear answers online.
The birthday offer at Disneyland Paris
Most of those who contact me expect a discount, a free ticket to Disneyland, or even a room discount in one of the Disney hotels.
Disneyland has launched such campaigns over the years, the first time during the opening year and the second for the 25th anniversary. These time-based offers have expired for years and are currently not rescheduled. So, I suppose you might still find old articles on the web, and it’s these last ones that create confusion and, alas, vain hopes.
The birthday badge at Disneyland Paris
When you celebrate your birthday in the Park, you are offered a badge, like that of the Park staff, but instead of your name, you will find drawings and happy birthday writings, with or without Disney characters.
You can pick it up at the City Hall, just before heading to the Castle, along Main Street. To get it, show your identity document or one of the birthday kids. If the first Park visited is the Studios, the badge can be requested at Studio Services, or if you stay at one of the hotels, you can request it from the concierge.
It’s a small gadget, but depending on the moment, the cast members might offer you an extra ride or some special attention in addition to wishing you a happy birthday. I always tried to do so!
Mickey’s birthday wishes
Also, you can request a phone conversation with Mickey Mouse at the same information centers, in the two parks, or at the front desks of Disney hotels. Within a few minutes, a call will arrive, and your child will be called personally on the phone because Mickey himself urgently requested it. I attended this more than once, and children’s joy is quite contagious …

Birthday present for Disney hotel guests
If you book specifying that your stay is specially organized to celebrate your birthday, the concierge will probably let you find a little present in the room.
Anniversaries and wedding proposals at Disneyland Paris
It may seem strange, but adults mainly visit Disney parks, and many consider it a romantic destination. An escape from reality, between fantasy and magical childhood memories.
For this reason, there are always couples who spend one or two days of their honeymoon in Disney hotels, others who book a short stay to celebrate their anniversary, and others who choose this location for the big proposal, knowing that they can indulge themselves with the most imaginative requests: from flash mobs in the Park area they prefer to private visits at night or other fantasies.
If you are a mix of an incurable romantic and Peter Pan, you can create your own magic moment by filling out this form.
However, before organizing your visit to the Park, I recommend reading this article written long ago. It provides all the practical information you might need when entering Disneyland Paris.
