Yes, just ask for them at check in. That's when we usually get our birthday pins because we always seem to be celebrating a birthday during our visits. I've seen many people at the resorts and parks wearing them. We'll be traveling with some "first-timers" in November so I'm going to be sure that they get theirs.

I didnt know you could get them from front desk either. Its always DH's birthday when we are at WDW and we always got our birthday button from the Town Hall in MK- so thanks for the info.

We got our anniversary ones at guest relations but my DD got her birthday ones from the resorts--and one from ak guest relations since she lost the one she had (they are all the same)

Here's a pic of the anniversary ones....

I knew about the birthday pins, but none of the others. I also never knew you could get them at the resort too. How cool!

I love the little things Disney does that makes your vacation so magical!!!!!

Just another way Disney does things great.

And to clarify for anyone wondering, these are NOT trading pins, but large buttons.

Having said that, the year we went on DS' birthday, a CM saw his Birthday Button and gave him a Birthday trading pin.

I moved this to the pin forum. Please place threads in the correct forum. Thank you.

Yes all you do is ask for it at the registration desk of your disney resort, and they give you one. In fact alot of times the cast members at registration will ask you if you are visiting on a special occasion and they give you a pin accordingly. I just got back from disneyland about 2 weeks ago and we told them that is was our anniversery and they gave us a pin a the disneyland hotel registration when we checked in.

I hand out hundreds of buttons or badges (if you're from the U.K) to guests at City Hall in MK. It's part of the Year of a Million Dreams, and a way for cast members to be clued in to what kind of service to provide the guests. When you are wearing one it tells us something about you. They are available at Guest Relations, the resorts, and some cast members carry them on them like custodial cast members. There are birthday buttons, aniversary, just married, 1st, magical gathering, and "Honorary Citizens of WDW"

It is true!!! Lat year was our first trip and we wore ours proudly the first day!!! We were also given extra care and everyone offered assistance and advice everywhere we went. The CMs everywhere were extra nice, and they are always nice anyway.

Sissy had a Birthday one last year and she got it at the front desk of the Poly Resort!

[Campbell87]

Ive had the birthday ones before and you do get alot of CM's and regular guests wishing you happy birthday etc and Iv also been given fast-passes by CM's when they've seen the badges, was fun! Pretty sure we got mine from City Hall in MK
