special occasion buttons
I was just reading a guide on how to get free stuff at Disney World (having been there before, I was just curious as to what it said). Most of it was a little strange (like riding the monorail for a few hours because its free).
One thing that stood out to me was that they have special occasion buttons. I knew they had birthday buttons, but the book stated that the parks have buttons for first time visitors. Does anyone know if this is true? My 4 nephews and my SIL are visiting for the first time and I thought it would be neat to pick one up for each of them.

I can attest to seeing other guests around parks wearing 1st Time buttons. I believe you can bring it up when checking in. Or at an guests services location.

Yes. They do have First Visit buttons. I believe the buttons are also available at the resorts. When we've had birthdays and/or anniversaries noted on our reservations, we've often been provided with the buttons at check-in.

I have seen Birthday, Anniversary, Engagement and I'm Celebrating buttons. Guest relations at the parks or in one of the resorts should be able to get them what they need!

Thanks a lot for all the replies! Do you guys think these are something that I could pick up and surprise my family with, or will they only give me one since I'm staying in a room by myself?

I think they would provide you with the pins upon request - espeically when you explain why you want them.

I wouldn't see why they wouldn't give you a few buttons. We lost our family reunion buttons mid trip and they had no problem giving us new ones.
You could ask for them on the sly if your family is around.

They will give you whatever you need, at least from my experience. When I checked in last Nov., we were going to be with a family that was coming for the first time. I just told the CM at the Check-In Desk that they would be there soon and checking in, but I wanted to surprise them. She asked how many I needed. I told her "seven", and she handed them over. Even one for the baby.

Right now, Expedia is running a commercial with a little boy and his father, riding the Mad Tea Cups together. If you look closely, you can see the little boy is wearing a "My 1st Visit" button. It's a cute commercial.

I don't know if they would do this, as I have not tried it, but if you have it noted on your reservation that there are first time visitors in your party, they might just have the buttons ready with your check-in package.
Just a thought......

I picked up 4 of the First Time Visitor buttons at City Hall in the Magic Kingdom to include in a special gift bag for friends who were going to WDW later in the year. The kids wore their Disney shirts, ears and buttons on the plane, so by the time they arrived in Orlando they were ready for fun.

This commercial made me tear up! Not just because it's cute, but because I'd very much like to be there too!
I see a lot of people heading out of Guest Relations with them every trip. Along with celebration, birthday, and honeymoon buttons. Good luck, and I hope you all have a magical trip!

My favorite button was given to me very randomly. I was at the cashier at a shop in ak and the lady asked me if it wad my first time there. My answer was, "no, this is my 29th visit."
She gasped, reached in a drawer and wrote, '29th visit'.
It sparked a lot of conversations.

On our 2011 trip, when we made our reservations we were asked if there was anything special we were celebrating. I told them, it's our DS's (then 19 months) first trip.
When we checked in, along with our ticket and information package Disney had a "My 1st Visit" Button for him to wear! We pinned it to his Mickey hat and he wore it every day! Precious!

There is no reason why they wouldn't give you the buttons as they don't guarantee you anything except congrats etc. And if you ask for a birthday button they don't verify that it's actually your birthday that day. We've taken a trip in December to celebrate a special birthday but my birthday was actually in Oct. I wanted to go in Dec though so that we could see all the holiday decorations so that was my birthday trip. I got a button with no problems.

Im sure that they will give me the buttons too. I can't really ask for them in advance because my reservations are seperate from my brother's so I'm technically not in the same party. I will certainly ask for them though.
My nephew's birthday is a week after we are at WDW so we are going to get him a birthday button while we are down there.
