I know that for Mickey's birthday on November 18, Disneyland always does a special cavalcade and Hong Kong Disneyland usually has Mickey appear with the band in a special performance.
Does WDW do anything special for non-major birthdays? So not like 2018 when Mickey had his 90th but should I expect something this year?

I am potentially planning another Orlando trip and now that Disney+ Day doesn't seem to be happening on November 12th in the parks, this is the only special date I would potentially be able to make.
 
Every time we have been at Disneyworld, one of the parks seems to be celebrating something. That is what marketing people do to try to create interest in their product. I never saw a reason to plan a specific trip to Disney due to any of those celebrations.

I don't know of any special plans, but if you are going to be in the Magic Kingdom and available to be in the queue for Under the Sea around noon, you may be able to see a Hidden Mickey that shows up once a year (dependent on cloud cover/weather). I'm not sure what links I'm allowed to post, but if you do a search for it, you should be able to find out more. The imagineers who built the queue, put a cutout of Mickey's head into the rock work, that the sun can potentially shine through and create a sunny Mickey head on the wall.

I wouldn't plan a trip around it, of course, but it's kind of a neat hidden thing that took some legit planning to pull off.
 
We were there in 2018 for his 90th and then last year for 92. A DISTINCT contrast. Nothing last year except a cast member noting our "92" shirts. He got it, but no one else did all day long. Not a mention that we saw. Next year will be 94 and we will be on a cruise. It will be fun to see if that is noted onboard, or not.

I just googled this and am amazed at the ingenuity of it.
Wow 🤯.
So cool!
 
Might be a special pin or cupcakes but don’t anticipate even that as it’s not a milestone
