NOT Celebrating Birthday

So I got my email the other day reminding me, as the subject line said, "Your Final Disney Reminder - Free Admission on Your Birthday." And I realized I won't be there today, February 26th, my 45th birthday. So instead, I have decided that we are going to stay longer this summer when we go and I added two more days to our trip in July! I did salvage part of the day. I guess this means instead of turning to booze or drugs to treat my addiction I just spend more time at WDW.

And no, this is not a shameless plug to get birthday wishes. However, if you wish to send Disney dollars or any other Disney perks my way, I'll be happy to provide you an address. ;)

Even so happy birthday! And since I realized you are going in July, what week and have you taken advantage of the Buy 4 get 3 free?

We didn't do the Buy 4, Get 3 deal. We already had tickets (Park hopper, never expire options) that we bought last year. Even though we could have spent about $2000 this year for the week we are going to be there, we opted for about half that price and decided to stay at Contemporary. I know we could have saved our tickets for next year's trip but we didn't have the extra $1k to spend this year.

Happy belated shameless birthday. :lol:

I'm in the same boat as you. I registered for my January birthday trip, and we had to cancel. So while I was pondering the sadness of not going for my birthday after all, Disney rubbed salt in the wound by sending me the reminder email. They also sent me a DVC discount that week, and the week after they sent a PIN code. I guess they missed me, too. :wink:

We are scheduled for our trip 7/19 - 7/24. Our anniversary is actually 7/16 and when I called to change our reservation, they asked if I was celebrating anything. I mentioned our anniversary was the 16th. She asked how many years (15) and a few other things about our years together. I'm wondering if they are going to do something for us (flowers in our room, a special card or just a special mention of our anniversary) . . . . we'll see.
