Do any of you share a birthday with anyone related to Disney (i.e. characters, Disney legends, etc)? My birthday is on December 5th (just like Walt). I have a friend whose birthday is November 18 (same as Mickey).

I share a birthday with the Mouse, Nov 18th. Which makes us both scorpios. Which is actually kind of weird, don't think Mickey is particulary sensual and intense. But who knows maybe he has a dark side like the rest of us scorpios. I do get extra attention at character meals on my birthday!

I share my birthday with Dumbo (October 23), not to mention the release of Goofy's "How To Swim", the Silly Symphony "The Spider and the Fly", EPCOT's Carnivalle de Lumiere, and the soundtrack to Monsters Inc.

My sister's birthday is the 17th of Nov. We like to think it's the same day as Mickey's since she was born at 11 PM. So it was almost the 18th.

No, I'm actually going for my daughter's birthday Oct 30-Nov4. I did celebrate my 40th at Liberty Tree Tavern. Goofy made quite a show of disbelief that I could be that old. Old Goofy's got a way with the ladies!

Thanks for posting this, it's quite interesting. I discovered that my daughter was born on the day and year that Cranium Command debuted. She'll get a kick out of that!
