I got a ton of questions on Facebook when I posted that we were at the Disney Store! Apparently Disney Stores offer a birthday freebie to children so I decided to do a blog post about it!
We happened to be in the mall after her birthday celebration at school so I could grab a few things and P took her into the Disney Store. He told her she could pick out a toy and while she was deciding on what Monsters University stuffed animal to get, he said something like, “Well it’s your birthday…”. A cast member overheard and told them to wait there. He came out with a bag of Disney store birthday freebie items to celebrate her birthday.
In the bag was a paper birthday crown, a certificate that the cast member signed (along with Mickey Mouse), a folder with 5 Brave lithographs, 4 bookmarks and a button with her name and happy birthday on it.
Now, I don’t know if every Disney Store does this so like anything YMMV. I would call ahead to at see if your local store participates in a similar Disney store birthday freebie event. For us, it was such a cute surprise and made her birthday that much better.

When visiting Disneyland, we always look for the biggest room possible for a reasonable price. On a recent trip, we ended up booking the Homewood Suites Convention Center after realizing that we could pay a little more than a standard room at a hotel that was closer to Disneyland Resort. Located next door to the…
On a recent trip to Disney’s California Adventure our friends revealed that they were going to meet Santa at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. I stopped in my tracks because 1. I had no idea you could meet Santa there and 2. We have NEVER stepped foot in this area. I know I know, how can…
The first visit to Disneyland is (not to overuse the word) magical. It really is. There is something truly enchanting about that hidden-away kingdom nestled behind an earthen berm. In the midst of it all, I encourage you to spend a little extra time on Main Street, rather than rushing past it on your way…
