Birthdays in 2010

[kimgg]

So, since the birthday promotion ends in 2009, is there any reason to visit on your birthday (other than the obvious treat of spending your birthday there)? We are going the end of December 2010, and my son and son in law both have birthdays a week apart and we will probably be looking at going on both those days, but it is not certain. What does WDW "normally" do for birthdays, other than recognize it w/ a button or something?? Obviously, this will be our first trip. Is it more special for a kid than for an adult?

Just trying to plan and was disappointed that the promotion changed but understand the positive aspects of the volunteer promotion.

Thanks!

Oh, and I emailed the Dolphin/Swan resort about whether they might extend their free resort night on your birthday promotion, and got no response. This was before I found out that WDW changed their promotion for next year so I assume that the Swan will discontinue it as well, or is there a chance they will do it again????

Before this past year Birthdays were celebrated with buttons and occasionally the comped drink or desert, but that was total chance and up to the servers. This is just my guess but after the hoopla of celebrating everybody's everything this year I'd say the free comps will be very few and far between. I know I'm sick of 'celebrating' just from when I was there, I bet thier employee's are more than happy its gonna be over.

As far as the Swan and Dolphin I'm sure thier promo would stop as well, whats the point in giving a free birthday night at a hotel in the WDW property when there are no other perks going on? I dont know many people that would travel there and stay one night in a hotel without getting any other deals just b/c its thier birthday? Make sense
