Q: When can I register online?

A: You can register now through December 31, 2009.

Q: Is there any age requirement for online registration?

A: Yes, you must be 13 years of age or older to register online. If you're under age 13, you need to have an adult in your household, age 18 or older, register online for you.

Q: My children don't live with me, but I'd like to sign them up for free admission to a Theme Park on their birthday. Is that possible?

A: No. The offer is valid for all Guests, regardless of the place of residency.

A: This offer is good for anyone over age 3. Children under 3 are not required to have an admission ticket to enter the Theme Parks.

Q: What kind of identification do I need to show at the ticket booth?

A: Proper valid identification would be a Driver's License including a photo, Government-issued Photo ID, or a Government-issued Passport. If you are under age 18 and don't have any of the above mentioned ID, an original or a certified copy of a Birth Certificate is required. School IDs or children security IDs are not deemed government-issued photo IDs and will not be accepted.

Q: I can't come on my birthday. Can I get free admission to a Theme Park on another day?

A: Unfortunately, no. The free admission to a Theme Park on your birthday offer is only valid for free admission on your birthday in 2009.

A: Guests can pick up their free birthday ticket for admission to a Theme Park on their actual date of birth. Please use other purchased ticket media to enter the Parks if you plan to begin your vacation prior to your birthday.

Q: Can I upgrade my free birthday ticket to another ticket type?

A: Yes, the free birthday ticket may be upgraded to another ticket type on your birthday. However the celebrant is responsible for the incremental cost and the new ticket may only be used by the celebrant. The 1-Day / 1-Park ticket good for 12 months (an option for certain passholders and multi-day ticket holders) may not be upgraded.

Q: I purchased* a valid Annual Passport or a Multi-Day Ticket that I will use for admission on my birthday in 2009, so I don't need to take advantage of this offer. Is there anything else I could receive on my birthday?

A: Yes, you have several options which are available for you to select once you arrive at the Park with your confirmation message, your proper valid ID, and your Passport or Multi-Day ticket that you will use for admission on your birthday. You can choose one of the following:

• Disney's Special Birthday FASTPASS® Cards+. Save time waiting in line and get immediate entrance to the FASTPASS® return lines of 6 select FASTPASS® attractions at Disneyland® and Disney's California Adventure® Theme Parks. No need to return later in the day to ride. Plus, when you select this option, you can also receive cards for up to 5 additional members of your party+.
• A birthday fun card in an amount equal to the price of a 1-Day/I1-Park ticket** for certain purchases including select merchandise, tour experiences or for Disney's PhotoPass® on-site services at participating locations at Disneyland® Resort; or
• A 1-Day/1-Park ticket for you to use any time until your next birthday.

*Guests using complimentary ticket media for admission on their birthday are not eligible to receive these listed options.

+Participating attractions are subject to change. Valid theme park admission required. The number of Special Birthday FASTPASS® Cards is limited and may not be available after 11 a.m. All Guests in your party must be present to receive the Special Birthday FASTPASS® Cards.

**Ticket price at Main Entrance ticket booth. Adults receive card in the amount of an adult ticket; children (ages 3-9) receive card in the amount of a child ticket. For terms and conditions of the card and details on participating locations, click here.

Q: What if I'm an Annual Passholder and my birthday falls on a day my Annual Passport is blocked out?

A: If your birthday falls on a day that your Passport is blocked out, you will be able to enjoy your birthday in the park with a free birthday ticket, a 1-Day/1-Park Ticket valid on your birthday. You can also use that ticket to upgrade to a Park Hopper® ticket or to upgrade your Annual Passport. However, you are responsible for the incremental cost, and the new, upgraded ticket media may only be used by you.
