Actual Birthday in the Park plus some tag alongs

[BostonRob]

Nobody HAS to be on in WDW for their birthday. You can celebrate a birthday anywhere.

If my daughter wanted a trip for her birthday, I'd tell her to get real, she'll be lucky to get a new bike, a $5000 trip is out of the question.

But, to go along with your supposition, if the only thing she wanted was to be in WDW for her birthday and that trip was impossible due to work or other circumstance, I'd explain to her that people can't always get what they want. I'd probably take the opportunity to tell her that she's a very lucky girl because she gets to go to WDW at all. Many children never get that opportunity.

We celebrated both my daughters' b'days at WDW a few years ago. We were not there on their exact b'days, but within weeks. Their b'day present was the trip. So, they wore their button on one day each and picked a special meal on their day to celebrate - one picked a lunch at Crystal Palace - where they brought her a cupcake, sang Happy Birthday, and gave her a card signed by the characters there (if I remember correctly) - and the other picked the Princess breakfast in the MK castle, where they did the same. They both had their turn and it made their birthday that year very special. Have fun!
