Walt Disney World visitors to get in free on their birthdays

By Scott Powers | Sentinel Staff Writer

1:00 PM EDT, September 18, 2008

Next year everyone will be able to come to a Walt Disney World theme park on their birthdays and get in free.

That's the cornerstone of the 2009 national promotional campaign, "What will you celebrate?" announced today by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. Anyone showing up with a valid ID including proof of birthdate will get a free ticket on that day in 2009 for one of the theme parks at Disney World or at Disneyland in California.

Disney officials announced the promotion as their effort to cash in on what they described as a growing trend called "celebration vacations" -- trips to vacation spots that people take to celebrate big birthdays, big anniversaries, honeymoons and other momentous personal occasions.

Disney World probably already gets a lions' share of such vacations, according to a Ypartnership marketing survey that Disney commissioned. But until now the company has never put together a unified marketing campaign to attract such celebrations on a large scale.



Even though a free ticket -- essentially $75 discount -- might seem almost insignificant in a family vacation budget that might run several thousand dollars, Disney's goal is to get more people at least considering bringing their birthdays to Disney World.

The promotion also will give Disney a new tool to help assure that its theme-park turnstiles keep moving in the next year even if the teetering national economy starts dragging down the tourism business.

While the promotion was announced in New York City, with the aim of attracting national and international visitors, Central Floridians may cash in most easily and most often.

"We not only open up the opportunity, we hope they'll take the opportunity, " said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "The flip side of that is, nobody celebrates their birthday by themselves. They bring their family, their friends and their kids with them."

Scott Powers can be reached at spowers@orlandosentinel.com or 407-420-5441.

Now couple that up with some other birthday freebies like free food and such and you can be king or queen for a day! LOL

It would be nice if they gave you that bracelet that lets you go to the front of the line as well

Otherwise, no way in hell will I bother going to Florida or California for my birthday.

Hey, I hear the Gary Chamber of Commerce has been trying to give away a weekend vacation package to wonderful downtown Gary including air fare for like 2 years now but so far no one is willing to accept the deal. I wonder why? :lol:

In case anyone is interested here is a link to the page for the offer. It's good for either Disneyland or Disneyworld but only good for 1 park.

I got that covered. Because FL residents have some great annual pass deals just move to FL and visit the other park on your birthday. :P

Well since I am going to pay way more in taxes if he is elected, might as well get what I can out of it :)

and seriously I have yet to decide who to vote for. I wish there was a none of the above choice on the ballot
