Hi, Lynn!
I am afraid you might be seeing information that is out of date. Back around 2009, there was a "What will you Celebrate" promotion which included complimentary theme park admission on your birthday. However, that special offer is no longer available, and all guests age 3 and older will require valid theme park admission when entering a Disney theme park even if it is a birthday or celebration.
But, even when having to purchase a ticket, there is no better place to
celebrate a birthday than at the Disneyland Resort! Start by getting your daughter a complimentary "Happy Birthday" button at Guest Services in Disney California Adventure Park or at City Hall in
Disneyland Park. She should wear it proudly so everyone knows it is a day to celebrate! In lieu of an autograph book, bring a birthday card for all her Disney Pals to sign. What a great keepsake!
For a special treat, order a cake to be delivered during a table service meal. To find out about pricing and availability, give a call to a friendly Cast Member at (714)781-DINE. If you need to book dining reservations, you can do so when calling that number or simply
book online.
I hope your daughter has a royal birthday fit for a princess! Happy Birthday!
Cathy
