My DW and I spent 6 nights in a studio at OKW in early June so that we could attend the wedding of our friends' daughter. When we checked in the CM at the desk asked me who was celebrating their birthday. I admitted that I was the B'day person, but I had not mentioned this when I reserved the room.
The good news was that the room was ready even though it was only 2:00 PM. However, when we arrived at the room they (4 CM's) were still cleaning it and the tub was being recaulked. They assured me that they were just finishing and that the caulk would cure in a few hours with "no odor". I was a bit skeptical to say the least, but the room was clean so we just changed and left for the MK.
When we returned later that evening, I opened the door to find three heium filled "Happy Birthday" balloons and a card with an autographed picture from "My Pal Mickey". I was pleasantly surprised by this since I did not think that DVC did this sort of thing nor did my DW request it.
On the actual date of my birthday two days later, there was another autographed card from Goofy wishing me a Happy Birthday! Even though I'm not a kid anymore, I must admit I was impressed by the extra attention.
I don't know if this is a new effort by DVC to recognize member's celebrations, but I certainly appreciated it.
