Excellente! I didn't know you could have them deliver a birthday button. I have to wait until Oct. 20 to make my ressies- 60 days out.

We'll be there for 5 days!

Yes, I was there two years ago for my birthday and my parents called to have flowers sent to me and they also sent a button, so this time I just asked for it for myself since I was booking fun stuff for my other travelers!!!!

we are going to be there Nov 28-Dec 3... Do you guys suggest making reservations for that week? We are still trying to decide which character dinning we will do. We don't plan on eating anywhere special on Sunday, Nov. 28 as we will just go in the evening to catch the Electrical parade and the fireworks.

Have a wonderful time!!! When my best friend (since we were 15) turned 40, I took her to DL for a week. We had a BLAST! They gave her a button too, and all day long, every CM that saw the button would say, "Happy Birthday Brenda" because it had her name on it. It was so fun for her! She cried several times that day because it was such a happy day for her to be turning 40 and be at DL! :D They really do make your birthday special, so, ENJOY being pampered!!!

I was there two years ago for my birthday and it was amazing! I wore the button on all 4 days of our trip and everyone was telling me happy birthday! I can't think of anyplace else I would want to spend my birthday!

I can't wait!

Do you mean for Vp to make the reservations for me? Nothing! I have a package booked with them for the Disneyland Hotel and they make your ressies for free.

The birthday party is $10 a person, Ariel's is about $20 a person, the basket we are getting for my cousin is $75, the Plaza Inn breakfast is part of our package, but I think we paid about $20 each, the pictures are free, the massages are around $60 each, and what we spend at the other places depends on what we order for lunch/dinner!

I guess I should have mentioned that this is a very special trip celebrating not only my birthday, but my cousin has been fighting breast cancer since April and she will be all done with Chemo & radiation when we go. We are totally splurging on this trip! There are 3 adults and 3 kids. We are taking a limo to and from the airport & hotel, staying at the DLH, and just plain enjoying the heck out of this trip!!!

I never have used Vacation planning,,Did you find it to be truly efficient. I think this time I might. We will be staying at the DLH the 5-9 of december and celebrating several birthdays. I know my mother in law would love a birthday button.

That is absolutely awesome. You enjoy the heck out of this trip. So glad to hear your cousin's a survivor.

BTW, we're neighbors, I'm in San Pablo.

Yes! In April right after she had her masectomy, we surprised her by meeting her in Disneyland to celebrate her birthday. I'm pretty sure I posted about that! Now we are going again to celebrate her being all done with this mess!!!

VP is great. If you are staying at a Disney hotel, you should definately take advantage of their services. Saves a lot of time and headaches!!!
