    Hello! I will be visiting WDW Orlando to celebrate my 30th Birthday (exciting!) and was wondering how I go about getting the free Birthday Button. My birthday will have passed, but as it is a birthday vacation, am I still eligible to get the button?

    Welcome to planDisney, Dylan, and happy 30th birthday! That's such an exciting milestone, and what better place to celebrate than Walt Disney World! You are absolutely in for a magical time.

    Now, about that birthday button. Great news! You don't need to do anything special or show any proof of your actual birthday to get one. Disney totally understands that many guests choose to celebrate before or after the big day, especially when it comes to destination vacations like this. So if you're celebrating your birthday on your trip, even if it's a belated celebration, you're more than welcome to grab that birthday button and wear it proudly throughout your visit.

    You can pick up a complimentary birthday button at Guest Relations in any of the four theme parks, at Disney Springs, or even at the front desk of your Disney Resort Hotel if you're staying on property. Many merchandise locations also keep them behind the counter. Just ask a friendly Cast Member, and they'll be happy to help you out!

    The best part about wearing the birthday button? You never know what little extra pixie dust might come your way! Cast Members and even fellow guests will often wish you a happy birthday, and while there's no guarantee of any additional perks, it definitely adds a layer of fun and celebration to your day. Whether it's a sweet birthday treat or just a little extra attention, that button makes your birthday trip feel even more special.

    So go ahead and sport that birthday button with pride, it's your celebration, and you deserve all the magic!
