All 3 of our trips have been birthday trips for DS. He always wears his birthday button and has a tee shirt that has Mickey ears and says "I'm the birthday boy" that he wears one day. He's gotten varying levels of attention. Our first trip he got a lot more attention than our 2nd and I chalk that up to us having TS meals on that one, where as we only did QS on our 2nd trip. He ended up with birthday cards and an extra dessert at nearly every ts adr. Snow White even sang Happy Birthday to him at our Akershus dinner. Last year was much more low key, lots of birthday wishes, Photopass photographers taking a little extra time with him including 1 doing a little mini session inside a gift shop when she saw his button, he was given a free mickey straw with his drink at one point and a free dessert. Do you have it noted in your reservation that you are celebrating a birthday? If not, you should call and add that note or stop by the frint desk and have it noted. You will get a phone call/voicemail on your room phone from Mickey wishing a happy birthday. I think one of Ethan's favorite things has been receiving a phone call from Goofy. This happened once on each trip while we were at a gift shop. The phone rang while he was paying for his purchase and the CM answered and gave him the phone saying it was him. It was Goofy wishing him a happy birthday. His eyes lit up and sparkled. It was really special to watch. Oh and when y'all meet Tinkerbell she might talk about it being your DD's "arrival day". That's what fairies call birthdays
