So, is anyone else heading out to any parks for their birthday? I'll be out at Disney World in March for mine.

I went with Bobby for his birthday last month, and I'll be going on my birthday in March (Mar. 26). We have annual passes, so he chose and I will choose the gift card option- it's worth the price of a one-day ticket, so it's $75 or so.

When's that?

Neat! I hope you have a wonderful time when you get to go Amy.

Aww, I'm sorry, Flangy. Hopefully we can meet another time.

Aw man, I wish I could go on my birthday, but it's on a Thursday and even if we went for my birthday it would be a really awkwardly placed/planned vacation, since that is sort of but not quite the end of the school year. I think it would be so cool to get free admission to a park!

Hopefully.

Hi everybody!

Oh that´s great news, because I will travelling around California from March 4th till March 19th together with a friend, and as it turns out my birthday is on March 9th

My plan was to go to Disneyland anyway on my birthday, so thanks for that gift Disney

So I checked the Disneyland website, and now I´m a little bit confused what to do.
I wanted to visit the Park for two days anyway, because it´s my first visit ever, and one day is for sure not enough

If I want to go to Disneyland for two days I have to choose the 8th and the 9th, because "unfortunately" my birthday falls on a monday, and there is no Fantasmic, no Aladdin - The Musical, and the park is only open from 9am to 9pm. The same with the Tuesday.
But on sunday (the 8th) there will be all those shows, and the park is open till midnight, and there is the special extra morning hour, too.
So we can just celebrate into my birthday, which is a nice idea too

But here´s the problem:
My friend has to buy the two day hopper ticket (143 Dollar) because it´s cheaper than buying two one day tickets instead (93 each day).
But now they have the offer to get a 3 day hopper ticket with extra morning hour for 149 Dollar, which is a really good thing.

So he has to get this one for just 6 more dollar, even if we can only use it for two days.
(Maybe we can just make a quick visit for the fireworks on the 10th)

I would buy this one too, but because we have to go there on the 8th, I am not able to use my "birthday gift".
You can upgrade this free ticket, but you only get it on your actual birthday.
I need a ticket earlier, so to make this long story short:

Is it the best way to forget about this free birthday ticket and just buy two of the "3 days special tickets" for 149 Dollar?

What would you do?

Sorry for using the forum as a "service hotline", but the best service is here, everybody knows that

Have a nice day!

If it was up to me personally, I would recommend forgetting about the birthday and just going for the three day ticket. Having been to Disneyland and knowing all the attractions they offer in the Magic Kingdom and some in DCA, there's no way to do everything in one day. I would recommend with going around 2 or 3 days, and that eventually the money will pay off itself. Whenever my gf and I go to Walt Disney World, we like to take our leisure just taking everything in the atmosphere and relaxing to eat, so we're not jumping from attraction to attraction. You'll find that your visit will be a lot of pleasurable if you just go at your own pace, and not hurry around worrying about having to get here to there and see everything in enough time. It will just add stress to your visit (whenver I've gone with my parents it's like this ). It will also leave time for you to re-ride any of your favorite attractions maybe twice or three times before you leave. Plus Disneyland has the benefit of having a lot of hidden gems throughout the park you can explore, like Snow White's Grotto and the Sleeping Beauty Castle walk-thru that I both highly recommend you check out.

Hope these tips help.

Thanks for your reply and the tips

Do you know if there are "late evening"-Tickets in Disneyland with a discounted price lets say after 6pm for example?
Or do you have to pay the full ticket price all day around?
I tried finding some infos about this, but without success...

Thanks again

This looks like fun. But there is a catch: you actually have to be their ON your birthday proper. Not sure if that has already been mentioned, though; might have.

Glad I was able to help.

I'm not sure if there are any discounts after entering the park late or if it's the same. My guess would be the same price, but I would recommend going to Disneyland's website and finding the phone number for tickets and reservations servies and asking someone about it.

I might go there on my birthday (9/9/1990), I might have to bring Satan with me though, just kidding !

You're going to go back in time to go to a Disney park? You could just go on 9/9/2009 or even 9/9/2010!

LOL, well I'm gonna go there september 9 2009, coz that would really freak people out, Lol !

I'm sure the 999 happy haunts at the Haunted Mansion would throw you an occasion for that day.

Coincidentally, the Haunted Mansion's 40th anniversary event is happening at Disneyland that day as well.

Cool, I'm sure Satan will be happy to hear that !

I just got the email I had to print out to get my free admission (well, I'm getting the gift card, since I have an annual pass, but it says "free admission") on my birthday (which is 2 weeks from today)!!! I'm so excited!!!
