leap year baby headed to Disney - mention it?

[bhoffman]

My husband is a leap year baby - no birthday this year! We are headed to Disney in a couple of weeks. Should I mention it with our ADRS that we have scheduled? (crt, ltt, coral reef, crystal palace, etc) Do they really do anything special?

Do they do anything special at the parks? Thanks!

It doesn't hurt to mention it, but don't count on anything special. Just think of it as a bonus.

It never hurts to mention it. You never know what your going to get!!! Also they do give out b-day buttons in the parks. Get one and he'll be wished a lot of happy b-days!!!

Nobody at Disney ever asks for proof of a birthday, so the fact that he's a leap year baby won't affect this at all. Like robnkris said, you're never guaranteed anything will happen, but lots of times you do get some kind of special attention if you're wearing a birthday button (available at guest relations at all 4 parks) - could be anything from CMs and other guests wishing you a happy birthday to free desserts at restaurants. Get the button, mention the birthday when you make ADRs and when you check in at your resort and at restaurants, and see what happens - just don't expect anything, and then whatever does happen will be a pleasant surprise.

I know this doesn't apply for you this year but plan a trip for his next Leap Year birthday. We were there in 2004 and they let the Leap Year birthday people open the park at MK. It was cute! They figured out what their age would be and announced it.

HOW FUN!!!!! We will definetly keep that in mind! We like to go every winter anyway! He has two years to go before his next "real" birthday. Him and my 7 year old (almost 8) will have their 10th birthdays the same year! Thanks for all the feedback!
