You may bring your own cake and they also have several food partners in the mall if you would like to have your child’s party catered. The tables for cake and seating are actually out in the center of the mall, so understand this won’t be as private as other Orlando locations for children’s birthday parties.
If you have a large number of people that will be attending your child’s birthday party in Orlando, you might want to consider renting a county park. Dr. P.

Admission to the splash park is $1 per person on weekends and you can pre-pay for your party guests. Call well in advance because the large pavilion books up quickly. There are also several smaller pavilions available if you don’t need as much seating. For reservations and more information, call (407) 254-9038. You will have to bring all of your own supplies, food and beverages, but the large pavilion is located near the parking lot for easy access.
So whatever your budget or party size, Orlando offers lots of options so you can choose the perfect Orlando venue for your child’s party.
