Is the birthday pin at DTD the same as the one at MK?

[kmwilson98]

How much time does it take? (eta, thanks - it's good to know that if we do this it will only take a minute...still, I think I'd like to try to get it at DTD the day before, if they're the same and we don't have to pay to park?)

I promise, we are not going to be "commando" except for the first half hour or so, lol. I'd hate to spend 15 minutes at park opening waiting for a birthday pin and a call from Goofy (hope that doesn't sound mean, I mean she is getting CRT 90 minutes later so it's not as if she's being deprived, lol).

The other option, since we'll be in town the day before (but not yet checked in to the resort - we have a free room at SpringHill Suites for one night), is to pick one up at DTD. Where specifically at DTD do we do that? Is the pin the SAME one as the one they hand out at MK?

( P.S. Since we won't yet be staying on property that day, is there a fee for parking at DTD?)

Hi!

Literally about 1 minute . You ask for your birthday button and they just hand it to ya - no questions/no hassles

No, The DTD pin is different from MK's.

Magic Kingdom and MGM's are the same.

The pins are DTD, EPCOT, and AK (MGM and MK share).

Thanks for the great pics of the different b-d buttons. My DH will be celebrating his 40 during our next Nov./Dec visit. We'll be sure to pick one up for him.

Very cool, thanks Joanna. Now I have to arrange a birthday trip so we can collect them all!
