I took my kids in lieu of them having birthday parties one year. We told the person when we checked in and they gave us a few stickers that said "It's my birthday!"

Everyone in every park who saw that sticker stopped and wished my kids a happy birthday. The guy sweeping up trash on Hollywood Boulevard, the cashiers at Epcot, the housekeepers at the hotel, everyone. Even Cinderella stopped marching in the Main Street parade to come over and say "Happy Birthday!"

I get that they're a horrible, soulless corporation but damn do I appreciate how special they made my kids feel.

So give your kid a birthday sticker if you go. Got it.
