Birthdays at Universal!

[mmb334]

Hope I have posted in the right place. We may be going to Universal this Summer to celebrate our child's birthday and another Family member's on the same day - - does Universal have any kind of Birthday "perks" for guests at the Parks and resorts? Thanks!

If you eat at Hard ROck they will have the whole place scream happy birthday. One year they had me stand up on a platform by the bar but most of the times ive seen them just make them stand at there table. Still pretty cool. I dont remeber if the dessert was free though.

The biggest one that they normally do is your child is automatically picked at Olivander's.

Or if you get one of the Universal birthday badges, they may let you go in the express pass line. It worked for me on every ride I went on my birthday.

Yes go to Guest services and get him a Birthday badge .Every Team Members will tell him Happy Birthday and will give him perks (let him in express and others)

I stayed at Hard Rock Hotel on my birthday and I received:
a free drink of choice (non alcoholic if you're under 21)
a HRH birthday pin
a piece of birthday cake waiting for me in my room

Is there a way they could prove it's not your actual birthday? In that case it's my birthday aswell

My daughter got the pin on her bday and loved it ... everyone saying happy birthday to her all the time (and at one stage had it announced over the speaker system) really made her day!

Thank you so much everyone for the info! We will be sure to get our birthday buttons!

They don't ask for an ID but don't be an ******* and take advantage of benefits like this.

I'm the OP of this thread and I wanted to give an update: My Daughter and I had a great time celebrating our birthday at Universal! We wore our birthday buttons and received a "Happy Birthday!" from just about every Universal team member we saw. It was even announced over the loud speaker at Jurassic Park ride. Woody Woodpecker sang Happy Birthday to us in his own way! We didn't receive any Fast Pass perks because we already had passes. But, the best surprise of all for my Daughter was a huge surprise Birthday Balloon bouquet with candy waiting for her when we returned to our room at the Royal Pacific that night! She also received an oversized hand personalized birthday card signed by the Royal Pacific team members!

That's so wonderful, sounds like she had a very special birthday

This so awesome to hear! I'm glad you both had such a wonderful birthday experience! You often hear about how Disney does all these awesome experiences for special occasions, it's nice to hear about Universal for a change!
