Disney World tries to make a birthday celebration even better with a complimentary "birthday button." The button is available at the front desk of any Disney hotel, or the guest services department of any theme park. You must present the desk with verification of the birth date. The button will draw extra attention from cast members, and restaurants may offer free food.
Wear the button on a highly visible place on your upper body.
Bring the button to the attention of any server. The free food is usually a small dessert just for the birthday person. Depending on the restaurant, it could be a cupcake, a sundae or even a piece of chocolate cake. Some other places may offer a cookie, a marshmallow dipped in chocolate, or a mini-cake.
Ask Disney staff for any other freebies available with the button. Disney always has promotions in place for birthday celebrations. They are not all free, but it could be possible to get a deal on a personalized birthday cake or get a Happy Birthday call from a Disney character.
