What is the best/coolest thing that has happened to you at WDW while wearing a birthday button?

Besides being wished happy birthday ALL day by so many cast members (which is pretty cool in my opinion).... I was given a free desert at dinner at Rose & Crown from my awesome waitress.. that was about it! :animwink:

Getting picked as an extra for Indiana Jones on my birthday. It was awsome!

My son wore his Birthday button during Christmas this last year( He turned 6). Right before the Special Christmas Parade a CM brought him out in the middle of mainstreet and had everyone in ear shot sing happy birthday to him. He was pretty embarrased but it was really cool.

Lets see, this past Nov. we decided to celebrate my younger sons B-Day at Whispering Canyon Cafe at the WL, we asked to make it as embarassing as possible. Well the time came and our server came out with a microphone and got everyone to sing all the while he was holding a small cake with a candle in it. When the song was over every server had a spoon, came up to him and took a piece from the cake he was holding, his face was to die for. The last server came up to him went to take a piece then just took the whole plate from him stating, come back tomorrow, I like it when we celebrate your B-day. We're going to do it to my father-in-law on the 24th of this month. :lol:

Dateline July 2nd 2006. After receiving my Birthday button from Town hall. then GF and I are walking down main street and we are stopped by a cast member who not only said happy birthday but also noticed My Pirates of the Caribbean Lanyard and asked if I was a fan of the Movie. i said yes.. She then said that if I wanted to I could ride Pirates of the Caribbean.. I said yes!!!!! so we walked over to Pirates of the Caribbean and they were doing Soft Openings... We were the only two in the boat Awesomeness Personified..

When my boyfriend and I went last month we celebrated my birthday and I was at the Frontierland trading post one day and a CM had everyone in there sing me happy birthday and I got a cool certificate. That was pretty much it except for every CM that I saw wished me a happy birthday.


EDIT: sweetale reminded me of this. I got the b-day call from goofy too. It was sweet.

Two years ago my family and (then) boyfriend went during my birthday. In the morning, we stopped by Guest Relations at the back entrance to Epcot for a birthday button. When the guards checking bags heard it was my birthday they had me get on the phone to hear a special birthday message from Goofy!:lol: And if that and all of the well wishes and happy birthdays weren't amazing, that night my boyfriend asked me to marry him! Best birthday EVER!:wave:

My mom told them that it was my birthday trip when she made the reservation. They gave me the pin at check-in. As we were getting on the bus that afternoon to go to Epcot, the bus driver wished me a happy birthday & then proceeded to get the entire bus, which was relatiely full, to sing Happy Birthday to me. Sure it was embarassing at the time, but it's one of my favorite Disney memories, after all, no one else in my family can say that they got a bus full of people to sing to them for their 18th birthday.

We also went to MNSSHP both years on my birthday trips & I got a lot of extra candy. Almost every candy stop person gave me two handfuls of candy instead ofone like everyone else was getting.

I dont remember getting anything, no happy bday or anything for me. But I do remember at the end of the day, we were at the bakery and were about to pay, and one real cm said well since its your bday I wont charge you, she said something like, if I see you come up in here tomorrow with that button on then you cant get nothing, but just for tonight. So that was cool, or special I guess, but that was like all I got that day.

Last year our youngest daughter turned 4 while we were at WDW. We let her pick who she wanted to have dinner with and she said Mickey! We went to Chef Mickey's on her birthday and had a great time! She got a laminated place mat with the character's signatures (mickey, minnie, goofy, pluto) on it. Then they brought her a cupcake with a candle and mickey danced with her. She was in heaven!!

We have 2 daughters who have summer birthdays, and since we loved celebrating at Disney last year, we have decided to celebrate the other birthday there this year! This year we have a daughter turning 7 on the 4th of July. She has requested to have her birthday dinner at The Grand Floridian's 1900 Park Fare (she LOVES Cinderella). Can't wait to see what they do this year!

My son and his family took me to Disney for 12 days for my 60th birthday. I got a birthday card and balloons form Mickey and Minnie delivered to my room. I also received a call in the room from Mickey and Minnie- they sang Happy Birthday to me. It was great!:sohappy:

On my trip in October of last year, my best friend and I were having breakfast at CP in MK and we both had our birthday buttons on (it was our birthday trip to the world to celebrate both of our birthdays) and our waitress surprised us with a magical moment at the end of our breakfast. She brought us out special YOMD cupcakes with candles on them and had everyone in the surrounding tables sing Happy Birthday. We each got cards signifying our 'Magical Moment' and they were signed by all of the characters at the breakfast. We both had quite the sugar highs for the rest of the rest of the morning considering we'd just had cupcakes for breakfast before 9am in the morning.

Do u know who to talk to get that? I was looking forward to getting those 2 items last month and I was disappointed when I didn't get them. This trip (in 12 days) we are going to be celebrating Adam's birthday, and I would like to have that for him.

Besides getting all 4 birthday buttons (MK & Studios were the same)..I got CM's wishing me happy birthday..and then the chaos began..
A red, white, & Blue jello cup at liberty inn at Epcot
A magical moment at DisneyQuest
A fudge brownie thing at Pecos Bills and that one had to have been the silliest. I was in line ordering my food and the CM at the counter saw my button..She stood on a chair and said "Were not moving the food line unless you sing happy birthday!!" Believe it or not they did stop the lines...and then everyone in Pecos bills sang happy birthday...quite interesting it was...

 

[Tiggerfanatic]

Lots of little things - CM's wishing me Happy Birthday, a free cookie in the Land, a special dessert and picture at the California Grill, was serenaded by the barbershop quartet on Main Street. But, the very coolest thing, when we were getting our pitcures taken with Pooh & Tigger, Pooh picked a flower from a nearby bush and presented it to me. Made me cry!!

 

[mpoppins217]

During breakfast at Trails End I was given a cinnamon roll and pecan rolls in the shape of mickey with a candle in it with the server having everyone sing to me (I was told I turned about 50 shades of red haha). I also was given a private singing by the barbershop quartet (we were down a side street when they came out from the wall and stopped talking to us on their way to main street). Other than that just lots of birthday wishes from everyone!

I had one of the best birthday excursion planned by my girlfriend herself that included my Venezuelan roommate from college, his girlfriend, a good anglo friend of ours who hasn't been to Disney since he was a kid, an amazing brown friend of mine that i hadn't seen in ages. It rained the best kind of rain, the kind of rain that you can splash around in puddles for the rest of the day, and i got to go on Everest for the first time ever that day!


All while wearing that birthday button . I do love magic.

I went in August with my mom, sister and aunt to celebrate my bday. I got a bday pin at check in and we went to Mama Melrose that night where we got an extra appetizer and an extra dessert and got the preferred seating for Fantasmic. I had the security guy at our hotel (Saratoga Springs) have me listen to a special bday message from Goofy. The woman at the food court had everyone sing happy bday to me.
Then we went to the tea at the GF and they gave me a bday crown and a cupcake. Then during EMH at MK, we went to go on SGE and the CM said happy bday to me and then got on the PA system and told everyone to look for the girl in the yellow shirt and sing happy bday to her, embarassing but fun, lol. My whole party got leis at Ohana. And on my last day, my mom, sister and aunt went on Cinderella's Carousel and I went to get a rootbeer float from Mrs. Potts and the CM told me it was on Mickey It was such an amazing trip. Like someone else said, I didn't expect any of it but appreciated it all

We were at WDW on my mom's birthday last year, and she didn't get jack squat!!!

This December, my sister and I are getting birthday buttons since her birthday is two weeks after our trip and mine is two weeks before...
