Birthday FPs

[Gina35]

Does anyone know how many Fastpasses are given for a birthday celebration?
We have our trip planned....airline tix bought....now realize we could've gone for my b'day as well as my DD's. (Didn't think we could do that when we booked b/c of DS's summer college course.) Is it worth it to consider changing?

At least four usages depending on how crowded the park is, for each of up to six family members including the person whose birthday it is.

Also, depending on how crowded the park is, there may be just two usages from one group or rides and the rest from another group of rides. I don't have the list handy.

You may wish to hold off on getting fastpasses with the birthday fastpass card until later in the day since birthday fastpasses can be gotten even when the machines say "sold out". Also the birthday fastpasses mature immediately and there is no delay before you can get another. Furthermore, getting a birthday fastpass does not extend the up to 2 hour delay between fastpasses for your regular ticket or vice versa.
