You Say It's Your Birthday

So Emma turned 6 while we were at Disney. We didn't necessarily plan to celebrate her birthday there - it just so happened that the best week for us to go coincided with her birthday. (We kept reiterating that fact all week as to not let my other 3 kids think they too got to go to Disney for their birthdays.) The fact that Disney has the birthday/celebration promotion going was a bonus. I had told them when we made the reservation that Emma would be turning 6 during our stay. Upon check-in they gave Emma an "It's My Birthday" badge. I didn't think would care too much about it but, I could not have been more wrong. She LOVED that badge. She put it on that instant and didn't take it off the rest of the trip. In fact, I am surprised it's still not on. Everywhere we went Disney Cast Members were wishing her happy birthday. She got tons of free stuff because of it - stickers, pins and cupcakes at every table service meal we had. I think we sung to her about 5 times during the week. She also made a point to show every character her badge so they too would make a fuss at her. I don't think there was a person at Disney that we encountered whom Emma didn't let know it was her birthday. My little drama princess...milking the birthday goodness as much as she could...
