We're 'planning' Food&Wine for 2010 to celebrate my 50th! Of course, it's way to early to book anything yet.
My DH celebrated his happy 50 at BCV in June. He got a bunch of perks, so many that when I turn 50 I'm wearing my Happy Birthday 50 button everywhere like he did!
At check-in they had given us our room keys and I asked for him a birthday button with 50 on it...they asked for my DH drivers license and checked the date and then asked for our keys back, the CM had a side discussion with a 'manager' and moved us to an Epcot view room (we were booked at BCV on points)
Free dessert at 2 counter service restaurants (kids loved'em)
Free beer flight at the Wave (his favorite freebie)
Concierge worked hard to get him dinner at Le Cellier on his actual birthday(my favorite perk)
Free tube rental at BC pool (kids were hoping their Dad turned 50 everyday)
We got free fast passes for Test Track from a total stranger
and lots and lots of Happy 50!! wishes from CMs and strangers
We never asked for or expected anything. Each time it was a nice surprise. So wear that button, ya never know!
