The silly responses in this thread are putting this thread dangerously close toward getting it locked. Remember guys, serious responses ONLY.

That said here are a few more suggestions of what to do on your big day:

See Revenge of the Sith (again, if you've already seen it, take friends and family with you as well)

Purchase Depends Adult Undergarments (make friends and family change you when the time comes)

Visit UltimateDisney.com and post about what you did on your special day.

If you're in college already, here's something else.

Plan a big way to spend money: go to Europe or travel across the country. If you don't like traveling, buy a complete collection of something you're interested in like Mary Higgins Clark books (not saying you're interested in her, but using her as an example)or Disney DVDs or Errol Flynn DVDs. You could also collect CDs or buy a new computer.

I find saving easy and actually quite fun. However, I know some people who can't save a dime, so this may or may not be helpful.

Oooh 20! Exciting! My 20th will follow your's by a few months, and I have mixed feelings on it.

Facing your ToT fears, huh? That's something I'm toying with doing too... I think I might pass out before I get on it, though. Let me know how it goes if you do it.

You could try riding 20 attractions in your last hour or something :lol:. You could MAYBE pull it off during an Extra Magic Hour.

Anyways, happy early birthday!

True, but if she has trouble waiting for the bathroom at the age of twenty, she's going to have a tough adulthood ahead of her.

Erm, don't mean to be cheeky, but Escapay is actually a guy! :p

And back on topic, Escapay should get a golf caddy and join the Main Street Parade unofficially. But then you'll be fired so there's no point. :roll:

Well, my 20th came and went and I have to say that the night before was better.

My last day as a teenager started in the morning, as all days do. Jane (my sister in case anyone forgot) and I went to the Florida Mall. Fun, huh? I didn't get Orange Julius, though, cause at the moment I was craving a Citrus Swirl from Adventureland. I bought some DVDs, all used. Then we went to Magic Kingdom where we had hot dogs as Casey's, then a vanilla float at Sunshine Tree Terrace. Mine had diet coke and Jane's had sprite. Afterwards, we did Pirates of the Caribbean, then Philharmagic. Then we walked around some more then took a bus to Downtown Disney, where we went to PI. I got a picture of me riding a harley, then we went to Comedy Warehouse.

Afterwards, we went home, good old Vista Lay.

My actual birthday, I was relief, so I went from cart to cart giving the vendors on my list 45 minute breaks. I hated Dumbo Ice Cream because the vendor was new and so everything was unorganized. But anyways, I did breaks from 11-9, then went home to Vista Lay, where Jane took me to Bennigan's.

Sounds like a fun last day as a teenager (in spite of the Juliuslessness) and a tiring birthday. Happy birthday, by the way! :party:

The big 2-0 - they grow up so fast. I remember this little 18-year-old New Jersey boy who registered and now he's this Big Man at Disney World, eating hot dogs and drinking vanilla floats on his day off. :o

I'm glad you had a nice birthday, Escapay! However, I am surprised that your name is apparently not on the Official UD Birthday List. This concerns me deeply. :(

We're a day late, but since we were "celebrating" yesterday I thought I'd post today before we were 129 days late.

You need to change the title of this thread because...

:party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party:
Happy 21st Birthday, Escapay!!!!!!

You're legal now! :o Don't do any of the crazy stuff already mentioned. Be careful and hope you're having fun in Florida even though we aren't there.

Escapay didn't see it again. That's why it didn't gross more than Titanic. It's all Escapay's fault. :headshake:

Hehe, nice to see this old chestnut dug up...

Anyway, my 21st birthday was alcohol-free, though I still had fun.

Initially I started the day in a very bad mood, as I had a 12 hour shift ahead of me of 10:15 to 22:15, working the damn Fantasyland Nut Wagon. Even though I was sour, I had to put on a happy face for the guests, so from 10:15 to about 17:00 or so, I was a bad-mood castmember in forced-happy mode. I went backstage for my break and asked one of the managers if I could possibly get an ER, since we had a few newbie castmembers with nothing to do, and they could easily close the nut wagon if I simply went back with them to clean it then be on my merry way.

Surprisingly, Kevin, the mid-manager that day (and a guest-manager at that, since they transferred him from ODF to Pinocchio's Village Haus, and we were short managers that day so they sent him back to us), actually gave me the ER! So I brought a newbie castmember back to the wagon, cleaned it, and gave her a quick 20-minute tutorial on how to operate and close the nut wagon. I then went backstage, got my time changed, and was free around 18:00 or so.

At the same time, Kelcey, a fellow castmember, told me she was going to meet some ODF'ers at Epcot, and if I wanted to go. So the two of us took the monorail to Epcot, and met up with Emily and Tristan (CP and full-time) in Japan, where we had a great dinner, then we walked around Epcot for awhile, taking in Norway and Mexico's rides, then driving back to Chatham.

Emily and Kelcey are roommates, and they said that since it was my birthday, I needed a cake. But unfortunately, we had no cake, so we made birthday cookies, and the four of us spent the next couple hours or so at Emily and Kelcey's place playing this game called Kimp, then some Texas Hold'em.

It was getting pretty late and Tristan and Emily both had 8 AM shifts the next day, so Tristan left, and I walked to my apartment.

The next day, I went to Florida Mall, got stuck there longer than I wanted, then went back to Chatham. I then went to Magic Kingdom with Alan and Kelcey, and we hammed up playing guests that day, even scoring some Attraction Re-Entry passes at the Tiki Room for starting a wave and dancing along with the music. Alan left us to meet up with someone at Main Street, adn we were supposed to meet them later, but somehow never did. So Kelcey and I ran around the park scoring fastpasses right and left (courtesy of a castmember trick), and did several rides. The last ride we did was Splash Mountain, which was busted because of the fireworks, but re-opened 15 minutes before park close, so we merely walked on and rode it, front row and everything. Yep, I got wet.

Afterwards, we went back to Chatham and argued about which Disney Animated Classic to watch, before we settled on The Emperor's New Groove. Unfortunately, both of us were tired, so we stopped it halfway and Kelcey went home and I went to bed.

Pretty fun for 2-1, wouldn't you say?
