I Am Not In Need  
A question for all of the current-or-former Disneyland-employees on my flist:

Does anyone know if the "Get-Into-Disneyland-Free-On-Your-Birthday" thing also extends to California Adventure? As in, can you get into California Adventure free, or is it just Disneyland? Also, what do you need to do for that sort of thing...just show up with your ID?


On a completely unrelated note: man, whatever happened to [livejournal.com profile] wtf_nature? :|

Honestly, I think its just Disneyland. And you have to register your birthday on Disneyland's website in advance--but after you do you just bring the print-out of your registration and your ID. Also, if you are an annual passholder, get your name registered ANYWAY, because they will give you a gift certificate worth the price of park admission if you already have a Dland ticket.

Honestly? If I were you I'd register my name and then buy a 2fer ticket at the grocery store or something like that. Then you can go to California Adventure whenever you'd like and go to Dland on your birthday and get your money back in Dland gift certificates. ^_^

"and go to Dland on your birthday and get your money back in Dland gift certificates. ^_^" - but she doesn't get the gift certificate if she isn't an annual pass holder.

I've done it twice - once for myself and once for Teddy. You can go to Disneyland free on your birthday or you can put that money toward an annual pass or they will give you a gift certificate (but only if you already have a pass). I'm pretty sure you have to choose and cannot combine these options.

I'm not an annual passholder anymore, so all of that certificate stuff is sadly out the window. :x But it MAYBE looks like CA also still counts towards the birthday stuff, so I'll maybe try for that, and if not then hey Disneyland is just as good? XDa

Actually, it is possible even if you aren't an annual passholder. I bought a twofer ticket for my brother and he got the gift certificate thingy. And he's definitely not an APholder as he lives in northern WA...

I wonder if it's anything like how it is at WDW where you get into one of the parks with that birthday ticket and don't leave there all day, but if you want to go to another park, you have to pay the difference between a oen day pass and a one day park hopper to be able to leave. Then it just ends up being a huge discount rather than a free ticket.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to know...if you can just do one park all-day and that will count towards a free pass. :O Mostly asking 'cause my mom has never done CA before, and I figure there's enough there to entertain us, even if D-Land is better.

I don't see why they wouldn't let you pick CA over DL. It says you can get into any Disney park for free, but there's also attendance problems with CA and they might not want everyone going over there for free xD. Then again, maybe they should so people can see what's over there and possibly want to pay to come back.

I don't know, Disney marketing has always boggled my mind. I gave up a long time ago xD

Oh, does it? I must've missed that part; I wasn't sure if it was just for DL only or not.

And yeah, there's kind of constantly been an attendance problem due to DL >>> CA, which is probably why they're now trying to turn CA into Pixarland. XD

At least that's what I last heard XD. It might just be for WDW, though. I'm sure all that good stuff it at the website. I really don't see why you can't choose to go to CA, though, if that's your birthday request.

Yeah, Hollywood Studios over here is having the same problem, so they're also turning it into Pixarland now XD

Okay, looking at the website it looks like any park is a part of it (I hope) so I just went ahead and registered. XD

If you had the spare cash and wanted to, you can put your birthday discount ($65) towards buying a CA select annual pass. They let you get the pass even if it's a blocked day on the day you buy it. And they take the price of your ticket for the day off the pass.

While I may have the cash to spare and I want an AP again, I don't know my schedule for the next, uh...year nearly well enough to be able to get another pass and know I'll use it all. ;_; So I may have to pass on that one.
