Had a great time for my birthday last November - got a card at EVERY Character meal, plus desserts
Fascinating! I think you are right about the magic bands. They are quite creepy & do seem to know your every move. I think that is why Disney is making it harder to not use them. My family tries to avoid them for several reasons, but it is easier to just go with the flow.Honestly, I'm guessing just the magic bands... Or perhaps it was just random and we were lucky. She refused to wear her button a lot of the time, said she didn't want the attention but we all had "celebration" buttons on. Coming out of the presidents show though, it had to have been the magic band because we hadn't talked to anyone. But with those bands, they know your every move. The dinner thing, I have no idea. We just randomly decided to eat there and magic happened.
Thank you. Finally figured that out. Could not get a dinner res at BOG on my birthday, but did get breakfast! Also Cal Grill for dinner that night! HB to me!BOG stands for Be Our Guest
I know that buttons are available in the parks at Guest Relations but you should ask at the front desk when you check in.We are celebrating my daughter's adoption. IDK whether to make them aware of that or not at our resort. It is definitely a special time for our family and it would be cool if they acknowledged it by saying something nice, but I'm afraid that mentioning it might cause questions/unwanted attention for my daughter. I heard that they have generic "I'm celebrating" buttons. How do you get these?
Congrats! They do have them at the stores along Main Street in the morning, at Guest Services, and also at some of the resorts. We accidentally left our buttons in our room and whipped by the desk at the Contemporary on the way to Chef Mickey's and got new ones When you're scanning your family through the turnstiles, ask where to get them, security and CM's can point you in the right direction!We are celebrating my daughter's adoption.

On our trip in Feb. '18 we'll be celebrating my hubby's 50th. Our TA has noted it on our reservation (he has no idea), we've told him that he has to wear a button every day, but knowing him he'll be too embarrassed to wear it.
