teen birthday party ideas?
im having a 14th b-day party @ my house in the next few months. any advice on food, decor, music, guests, time, ect. would be very welcomed. thanks!
im 14 2 so well first not all parents realise this i dunno if u do bt shes 14 not 4 no embarrasing stuff or anything! a dance well easy! the key: rly good loud music and lots of space to dance. have a table with drinks n food and maybe one or two chairs if people get tired, not to many or theyll all just sit down. u could get some disco type lights that'd b cool. my advice from experience i would but this in bold but cant repeat after this::::::: i will not under any circumstances embarrase my daughter in front of her friends, and i will stay 100 meters (or so) away from the dancing area at all times unless someone is dying or the food and drink has run out!:::::::: if you follow this i think it will be ok. so well food: finger food i dunno crisps (chips for the americans), emmmm i dont really know just ask your daughter what she likes and what will be good. decor: simple no happy birthday banners and clown hats. disco type lights would be good, emm make sure its cool in the room or people will boil to death! music: well the music in the charts and stuff go to a downloading program like www,limewire.com and download the songs you need, put them on a cd and play it on the stereo veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy loud! guests: make sure both guys and girls come if not it is no fun at all. as invites the coolest thing is just simple computer printed invites with the time, location and reason for the party. time: make sure its kinda late its no fun at 3! lets say 7-10 or so late is cool unless no parents allow that late so do 6-9 no 3-5 partys!!! so i hope that helped happy birthday 2 em and have fun with the party!!!!!!
hi misty! i love the in-room celebrations! they are amazing and so much fun to experience! the dream makers really go all out to make the celebrations special, and i think are well worth the money. i think your daughter is just going to love it! tell your daughter happy birthday from me! have a magical vacation! amanda hi carrie! my own daughter spent many of her teenage birthdays in walt disney world and each one is memorable! there are many great things you can do to make this special for her 16th birthday. think about a special cake to be made and delivered to the restaurant on her big day. call the cake hotline, 407-827-2253, to discuss your ideas. make sure you get the dining reservation for a special dinner by calling or doing it on line 180 days out from your arrival date. check out the floral and room decoration options by going to www.disneyflorist.com. these cast members can truly make a room magical for your daughter. you might also consider booking a special tour for her and her friend. many have age restrictions so be sure and check that out. this might be just the time for her to learn how to maneuver a segway around epcot or fort wilderness! click here to see the listing of disney tours. if the budget allows consider booking a fireworks cruise either for illuminations or the magic kingdom show. you will have the boat to yourself and can order cakes, food, and drinks to be on the boat for a special occasion. on a lighter note i often made scavenger hunts for my children and their friends on their birthday. it would either be in one park or a few with the reward for finishing worthy of a birthday surprise! to this day they still talk about some of the hilarious things they did! walt disney world is the perfect spot for anyone's birthday and no matter what you choose to do for your daughter it will be a fun and successful vacation for all! 1) add a comment to your reservation that it a birthday is involved. 
2) email/call the gm or concierge and let them know any guests under the age of three do not require a ticket for admission. as you'll be visiting in december 2019 and your little one won't celebrate her 3rd birthday until after your visit, you do not need to purchase a ticket for her. i do want to give you some pointers for visiting at this practically perfect age. under the age of three, your little one will also not be charged at any restaurant that is all you care to enjoy. this is a great thing to take advantage of especially for character dining experiences. a note for visiting with a little one, while you won't be charged they should be included in the dining reservation headcount. this way the restaurant can plan accordingly in making sure a large enough table is planned for your party. when i have attended the party in the past, i have been able to make fastpass+ selections prior to the party starting. keep in mind that policies are always subject to change but if you have your party tickets linked to your my disney experience account, you should be able to make a few fastpass+ selections for the 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. time frames. hi christine, disney is such a wonderful place to spend your anniversary! it's really tough to say right now what the crowd levels will be like on any particular day in june. you'll often find though that if one park is crowded, they all are, so i think it should come down to which fireworks show you want to watch on your anniversary. personally, as much as i love illuminations, i would choose wishes. the theme is just so magical and the soundtrack makes me teary everytime i hear it. it's perfect to watch with your spouse. to make your evening extra special, you may want to make reservations for the tomorrowland terrace fireworks dessert party. this would give you a really nice location to watch wishes from and it's a great party. i hope this helps and that you have a wonderful vacation and a happy anniversary! kaylene information about the candlelight processional has not been released yet for this year. you'll want to keep your eyes on the disney parks blog for updates. as for a lovely restaurant in which to enjoy dinner on tuesday night, i'd suggest coral reef for its unique aquarium view. i think the children in your party would love it! if seafood isn't so much your thing, you might consider biergarten in germany. it's a family friendly buffet restaurant where everyone is free to kick up their heels and join in on the dancing. ahoy, andrea! i'm so happy to hear you're considering a disney cruise with your daughters. they are at great ages to enjoy a disney cruise line vacation to the fullest! dining on a disney ship is usually a great experience for children and parents alike. with rotational dining, you'll dine in a different restaurant each night, and your servers rotate with you. your dining room team will learn your favorites, know your names, and are happy to fill special requests when they can! my daughters have grown attached to our servers on each cruise, getting photos with them and talking about them for weeks post-cruise. your fidgety diner is sure to be entertained by the servers as well as the interactive, fun atmosphere in the dining rooms. if you're worried she can't sit still for the whole meal, you can always request her food be served early. our youngest is always in a hurry to get to the oceaneer club after dinner, so we have them bring her food first. she's usually finished by the time we're finishing our entrees, and i walk her to the kids' club before they serve dessert. it's a win-win - she gets to go play and we get to relax and have dessert at the end of our meal! for families with second dinner seating, children can take part in dine and play. let your server know when you arrive that your child will be participating - their meal will be served early, and youth counselors will come to the dining room and escort them to the kids' club while parents enjoy their meal at a more leisurely pace. please come back and visit the moms panel if you have any more questions - we're happy to help! have a magical day! - diane w. hi there, can you provide me with your email address via a private message, please? then we can get it changed to the right date of birth for you, today. cheers, hi, angela! when on the disney dining plan, kids ages 3-9 must order off the kids menu at table service locations. at quick service locations, kids ages 3-9 can order from either the adult or kids menu. since your child is a big eater, i suggest selecting buffets or all-you-care-to-eat family style dining. this way, your child can eat as much as desired, plus this is a great way to try some new food items. ok, and i will admit it, i enjoy some of the selections on the kids' buffet - i simply cannot resist mickey's mac and cheese! some of my favorite locations for buffets/family style dining: -whispering canyon café at disney's wilderness lodge resort - order the canyon skillet -crystal palace (buffet) at the magic kingdom -cape may café (buffet) at disney's beach club resort -boma flavors of africa (buffet) at disney's animal kingdom lodge -hollywood & vine (buffet) at disney's hollywood studios make sure to make your dining reservations for any table service/buffet location. you can book up to 180 days in advance online or by calling (407)wdw-dine. wishing you many delicious meals around walt disney world! cathy
