My dad is turning 50 during our next trip to Disney and we'll be in Epcot that day. How would I get Voices of Liberty to sing happy birthday to him?
. . . you can't
. . . besides, a birthday is not a special event
. . . just think of all the birthdays and anniversaries EVERY day at WDW

Like, who would I have to talk to?
. . . no one

also, does anyone know if san angel inn restaurante can do anything for birthdays?
. . nothing out of the ordinary

*******************************************************

BIRTHDAY-ANNIVERSARY-HONEYMOON-GRADUATION-ETC Celebrations by Cast Members:
1) It is a matter of the CM's personal initiative.
. . . depends upon how much they like you as a guest
. . . it always helps to wear a Happy Birthday button
. . . depends if they feel like doing anything special today
. . . depends upon the phase of the moon
2) CM's can do a lot, or they can do nothing at all as they have immense control
. . . they are under no obligation to give goodies or even acknowledge special day
. . . they can go way overboard, give lots of gifts
. . . they have A LOT of leeway for what they will or will not do for you
. . . they can see the event if listed on the ADR or hotel ressie and you hope for the best
3) Some of the things a CM can do for free are
. . . table with Mickey confetti
. . . your name/celebration on menu at TS locations (except BOG)
. . . best table location
. . . special personalized menu
. . . character-autographed birthday cards
. . . balloons
. . . balloon animals
. . . wine or champagne or Shirley Temples
. . . room towel animals
. . . appetizers or desserts
. . . cakes
. . . cupcake with candle (almost always available for the asking)
. . . place mats autographed by characters
. . . free appy or free dessert
. . . ride an attraction with a character
. . . personalization items for the Magic Bands
5) Some other items CM's can give for free
. . . room full of balloons and/or flowers
. . . fruit basket or wine basket in hotel room
. . . individual fast passes or booklets of several fast passes
. . . food and snack items (candy, popcorn, sundries)
. . . room upgrades
. . . attraction rides with characters
6) If you really want something special, buy it yourself.
. . . eatery: carry presents in and keep/hide them in a paper bag
. . . eatery: carry a cake in, but, WDW won't prepare, store, or serve it
. . . eatery: order non-decorated cake at the eatery podium check-in
. . . eatery: order decorated cake from the WDW Cake Hotline
. . . room: order special in-room celebration decorarting by Disney
. . . room: order strawberries and cream, if resort has room service
. . . room: decorate the room yourself
7) If there are multiple celebrations for people during a trip
. . . do not do separate celebration locations or tables
. . . one person may get an enthusiastic CM and get goodies
. . . one person may get a lazy CM and get nothing
8) Hundreds, or thousands, celebrate everyday at WDW.
9) It is too much time/money for CM's to attend or recognize all.


NOTE: I have personally given out freebies such as major room
upgrades, fruit baskets, wine & cheese baskets, fast passes. It
all depends upon how you act toward us and the mood we are in at
that time.

Happy birthday to your dad! I don't have an answer to your first question, but I was at San Angel Inn for my birthday a couple of years ago. I noted on the reservation that it was my birthday and they brought out a free dessert with a candle and sang a Mexican birthday song for me. It was very sweet. Hope that helps!

I don't know about Voices of Liberty. They usually are fairly pressed for time, so fitting in happy birthday singings would be tough for them. They perform 15 minutes before the America show, and have to be prompt.

However, for any restaurant ADR's on Dad's birthday, make sure to note on the ADR that there's a birthday involved. One time we were in the German restaurant and the oompah band played happy birthday for my older DD's birthday (while the entire restaurant sang), and they brought out a small cake for her. San Angel may or may not bring out a dessert for you, but they will probably do something for your Dad, even if it's just a song.

ETA: if Dad is not too shy about it, make sure he wears a birthday pin on his birthday. In our experience, cast members have often gone out of their way to wish my DD happy birthday when she wears it (DD's birthday usually happens during our vacation).

Happy Birthday to your Dad as others have said " gifts" are totally random if anyone does anything except wish him a happy birthday

I highly doubt CMs will do anything extra depending on whether they like a guest or not Remember if you are going to bring in presents they cannot be wrapped you will be asked by security at the entrances to unwrap them

to the Disboards and Happy Birthday to your Dad!

You can pick up a Happy Birthday button at Guest Relations and if your Dad wears that he will get greetings from many castmembers, but that's about the only recognition that is guaranteed.

At restaurants let your server know and he might receive something extra, but it is entirely up to the restaurant and server. He might get a birthday cupcake or free dessert, a signed card, confetti, CMs might sing, a glass of champagne, etc or there might be absolutely no acknowledgement at all.

If you want something special it is best to arrange and pay for it yourself. Probably half the guests at Disney World are celebrating something - birthday, anniversary, engagement, wedding, graduation, family reunion, first visit...so many that it is best not to expect anything and be pleasantly pleased when his birthday is recognized.

We were in Disney for my MIL's actual 80th birthday and my sisters 50th and the above posts are accurate.

For my MIL we spent the day at Epcot and had a great time, quite a few CM's said happy birthday and Via Napoli sang and gave my mil a cupcake with a candle at lunch. I ordered a cake and we had a little party in the condo in the evening - it was perfect.
