Miley Cyrus is celebrating her Sweet 16 a few weeks early.
Even though her actual birth date isn't until Nov. 23, she got the party started Sunday at Disneyland.
More than 5,000 guests (many of whom paid $250) partied with the Hannah Montana singer at the Anaheim, Calif., theme park, which was shut down for the day.
The park's main attractions -- Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean -- remained open for partygoers, who included Cyrus' boyfriend Justin Gaston (who performed), Demi Lovato, American Idol's David Archuleta, Jennie Garth, Steve Carell, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt, the Associated Press reports.

Cyrus -- who wore a white ruffled skirt and jersey-like vest with "Sweet 16" printed on the back -- performed four tunes. (Her father, Billy Ray, belted out his classic "Achy Breaky Heart.")

The bash also included a fireworks display above Sleeping Beauty Castle and 16 giant inflatable candles and a purple carpet (purple is Cyrus' favorite color).
So what does the teen want for her birthday?
"My parents shut down Disneyland for me," she told the AP, "so I'm good for a while."
