Birthday Trips
May 11th, 2008
Last year, during the final week of June almost my entire family, grandparents, mom and some cousins went to Disneyland. I had a ton of fun because it was around my birthday and so my Mom got all of us who were celebrating birthdays around that time, birthday buttons. These buttons are free at City Hall or I think she found ours at the Market House.
The wonderful thing about these buttons are when cast members or characters see them, they wish you a Happy Birthday. It didn’t matter where I was I would constantly hear, “Happy Birthday, Jason.” This especially happened during the parades where characters would come up and wish me a Happy Birthday during the parade. Let me tell you, when you have the Fairy Godmother, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather stand in front of you and tell you Happy Birthday, it really is a magical experience.
In addition to all the attention you get from the cast members and characters, you also receive special treats. While lunching at the Blue Bayou in New Orleans Square, all of us celebrating birthdays received a free dessert and birthday card. You know, it’s these little things that Disney does that really solidifies them as the “Happiest Place on Earth.”
