Holy Crap! Admission to one park is up to $75 now!?!?
Now, if everyone in my family was born on same day, this would be really HOT deal!!
Well I got twins....so this could be sweet

This is a good deal if you're only going for a day or two. But by the time you pay for a 4-day ticket, any extra days are essentially free anyway, since the additional cost is so minimal. For example, I think the price difference between 4-day and 7-day is around $9. Since most people typically plan at least 4 days in the "world" so they have time for each of the 4 major parks, not sure how much money this is going to save anyone. But great for nearby residents or for those short trips. Thanks for the news!

According to an SD'er
Guests who already hold a valid annual pass or multi-day ticket they will use on their birthday may choose from other birthday treats instead, however, no cash refunds or credits will be given. The other treat options include:
* A birthday fun card in an amount equal to the price of a 1-day One Day/One Park base ticket for you to use on your birthday for merchandise, recreation or fun activities at select participating locations at Disneyland® Resort; or
* A special birthday FASTPASS® badge for certain attractions at the Theme Park you visit on your birthday; or
* A 1-day One Day/One Park base ticket for you to use any time until your next birthday.

Nice!
You have to be stupid to go for option 2. 1 and 3 though have the same value of the free ticket and you can probably use the "fun card" or base ticket to renew your pass the next year

Now all you have to do is time all your children for the same date and you are set.
That blows!! I would call/write to Disney and ask if the will accommodate you on Feb 28th or Mar 1st.
BTW, So you get to celebrate every 4 years or what? So was I. What that means is every 4 years we get 2 of them. I normally have it on the 28th as it is still feb.
Employees get tickets pretty regularly ,, you can contact someone in Orlando and see if they know someone ,, you can almost always get up to 4 tix at $25 each ... Disney doesn't really mind ,,, you'll spend plenty on other things once inside..

Nice!
This is what makes the deal nice for us. We live in So Cal and were planning on getting Annual Passes for next year for our family of 6. That means we can go 6 times and get $75 each time! Of course ... I think that's the cost of one set of Mickey ears
You can do a Disney trip really cheap once you sort out a good deal on flights. Windsor hills and terra verde through vrbo. Costco and AMEX discounts for rental cars. undercovertourist for disney. Supertarget and walmarts nearby to stockup. checkout disboards for tips/talk and mousesavers for coupons codes and discounts.
We do DCL and DIS a lot and it can be very reasonable indeed.

Anya said: If you don't have an annual pass & you are thinking of getting one, can you use your birthday ticket and apply it to the cost of the annual pass? $134 for So Cal Select AP - $69= $65. If this worked, it would be a really good deal!
You are able to do that in Florida. You can upgrade that pass within 14 days of use and you will get the $75 credit towards your annual pass purchase.
