Inside a driveway-turned-Disney birthday celebration

Only one location is officially deemed ” the most magical place on Earth.” But for two of Summer Smith’s children, that enchanted destination came to them when the party planner transformed her family’s front yard with a bit of Disney magic.

Saylor, 4, and Wyatt, 2, celebrated their birthdays in a driveway-turned-Disney World extravaganza. Smith, owner of Enchanted Events Collective, designed a whimsical setup of wooden castles and mini vendor carts.

A blooming balloon arch tied together the pastel color palette and matched smaller details throughout the celebration, like the bubble cake toppers.

“I’ve never even been to Disney,” Smith admits. “But my daughter and youngest son are both obsessed with Mickey Mouse.”

To build on the immersive experience, Smith brought in a crew of cast members for cotton candy spinning, caricature drawing, face painting and pancake making. Each activity was a stop on Main Street for guests to enjoy.
