But your whole party gets to make a cake and then Mickey and Minnie come out and celebrate and you get to take pictures with them. We all had fun!

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Heck, I did the party with Pat E. Cake when I turned 51!! And so did DH when he turned 52! And we loved it! Yes, we were the oldest Party boy and girl by far, but hey, you're as young as you feel! And we love our pictures we had taken with Mickey and Minnie. We even saved our party hats! We wear our buttons for more than a day too! And don't forget to take your son to the DCA for his free package of tortillas at the Tortilla factory. Everyone with a birthday button on gets a pack.

Just extending the celebration out to a few days is fine.
