Our group will be arriving at WDW late on 12/27. The only from our group who ahs a birthday during that time has hers on 12/27. Since we are arriving late that day the group does not want to use a day of our passes for part of the day. We are happy jsut going to Downtown Disney or relaxing at our hotel.
My question is can the birthday lady exchange her free ticket for the gift card at Guest Services without entering any of the parks? Does the gift card need to be used the day of her birthday or is it good anytime?

Yes. All of the What Will You Celebrate tickets, Birthday Fun Cards and Fastpasses are handled at the parks' will call booths, all of which are located outside of the gates. You may use the Birthday Fun Card on any day after the birthday, though it may expire at the end of the year (honestly, I'm not sure).

So long as she goes on her actual birthday to any Will Call window at any of the four parks (NOT Downtown Disney) she can pick up a ticket that is good for one day's admission with a 1 year expiration date. Make sure she tells the CM though that she wants the one that's good for any day within a year's time otherwise it will be dated for THAT day only.

The gift card option is only available to people who already have (and use) theme park admission on their actual birthday. They will ask for her ticket to double-check on that.

But as for the rest of your group... After Day 4 of a MYW ticket, each additional day on the ticket costs $3 per person. I see entering a park just for dinner and fireworks at the start of my vacation to be well worth the $3, even if I'm only going for a couple hours.

If the birthday girl hasn't bought the ticket yet that she'll use for the rest of the trip, she can get the free ticket *on* her birthday and then upgrade it to whatever ticket she'll need for the whole trip. They'll take the price of the ticket she wants to upgrade to, subtract the price of a 1-day ticket, and she'll pay the difference.
She could also buy the extra day (for $3) on her current ticket, enter a park, and then get the gift card, so her "birthday gift" would essentially be for $3 less than normal.

Otherwise, her only remaining option would be to get a 1-day ticket to use any time until her birthday in 2010. And that ticket can *not* be upgraded in any way. It's strictly a 1-day/1-park ticket.

thank you everyone.

The passes we have right now are 4 day park hoppers and we already need all 4 of those days. We are part of a sports team package playing at WWOS and our passes and hotel are booked through Disney Sports Travel and for some reason getting a 5th day on those passes costs $32/person and not $6 like it does for everyone else.
So we are spending the extra day at Universal where the 2nd day is a much better deal for us.

Is it just birthday's that are free? What about anniversaries?

No anniversaries will not allow you in the Park. Due to the fact the birthday promotion has ended too, you cannot get in the park free when it is your birthday now either.

The current promotion is Give a day, Get a Disney day.

Also, why would they give free tickets to something that only some people can celebrate? They'd probably get in trouble for some kind of marital status discrimination.

EVERYONE has a birthday... :)
