Yup. You work. A few of my friends had to work on their birthdays and our coordinator made them birthday buttons to wear. For another friend's birthday she had requested off so we arranged a surprise breakfast at the Crystal Palace.

I've been able to request my birthday off the past 4 years (I book CRT lunch). It is such a great place to eat.

Can't speak for other departments, but mine passes around a birthday card for everyone to sign. Some also wear Birthday Buttons, though CMs in costume really aren't supposed to. Otherwise, it's a normal day at work.

I'll actually be working on my birthday for the first time next month. I'm probably going to end up wearing a button, at least while backstage.

Edit: oops, I was wrong--my birthday falls on my weekend, so I'll definitely be out and about as a guest, wearing a button. :D

BTW...

On a working day, your birthday is like any other day...
Everyone has to work...

Until a few years ago, I always had to work on my birthday...
I wasn't even home for one minute...

so... WORK, WORK, WORK

Love The Magic...

That's pretty cool! What did you do after Traditions ended?

After Traditions we all got back on the American Coach bus and went back to Vista Way. I changed into casual clothes and shoes that didn't hurt my feet LOL. Then we all headed back to the Magic Kingdom. I got a birthday button and a CM got everyone at Pecos Bill to sing "Happy Birthday" to me. It wag totally awesome. I'm so excited to be going back again in 09. It will be my 3rd birthday in a row at WDW.

That's great (are you going as a guest or CM)!

Too bad I won't be as lucky. It looks like I won't be getting to spend my 5th straight birthday in WDW.:(

I'll be there as a guest (though w/ the benefits of being a Campus Rep :D)

That's too bad if you can't be there for your b-day. Why not?

Well, I was due to graduate in May (so I was going to apply for FA 2009). However, due to school issues, I would only be able to do Fall 09. It stinks. I really wish I could go down in May instead. But I will be happy to just go back down at all.

I tried to get the day off for my birthday very early in advance, but it was denied (most likely because it was a holiday).

I was a little bummed because I have never had to work (or even go to school) on my birthday. Thankfully, it turned out to be a good day, and I got to work a nice shift from 8:00 AM to 3:42 PM. That evening, I took myself out to dinner. :)

My birthday is March 3rd, and it is a Tuesday and I will be 21 so I am praying I get the day off. It's not near any big holidays and its a Tuesday so hopefully I will get the day.
