I'm sure the Hampton Inn staff can help you. They are part of the Hilton chain, right? Have fun planning

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 That's weird, several times we've received a small bunch of balloons and an autographed picture while staying on property. Unless this has changed, if you don't get better results from VP, just ask at check in. Your son should receive balloons, a picture and a birthday button. Maybe VP thought you meant mylar balloons?

Originally Posted By liveforvacations As per everything I had read on the various boards, I too requested balloons, an autographed picture and a birthday button for my daughter while staying at the Disneyland Hotel for her birthday. They asked for her favorite character but did not promise that one. I also asked if my son could get an autographed picture as well so that he could feel special too! Upon check-in, we received an envelope with the rest of our things which had an autographed picture of Cinderella and a birthday button. No balloons or anything for my son and we basically did not interact with another staff member our five day stay! I must say that I was underwhelmed after hearing of what others have received but was appreciative of what we did receive. I wondered if you receive more if you do more through Vacation Planning. I booked all my dining as I always do and purchased the Fantasmic seating for the Friday previous to our stay there. I opted not to order a cake as my daughter wanted a volcano at the Rainforest Cafe! I enquired about the baskets but found them very pricey for what you received. I cannot say that I asked Vacation Planning for a lot but also didn't feel they really provided a lot! I sometimes think that if I had ordered more stuff through them, I might have received more but I don't know.
Originally Posted By LuLu I'm pretty frugal so I've never bothered to order thru VP. What people have posted sounds pricey, tho I'm sure it's in line with other hotels, it's just not my thing to indulge in. But they did ask when I booked my reservation, if we were celebrating a special occasion. This was for my birthday so it was 9 months ago. We did get balloons and the autographed picture. Not sure if it mattered that we were staying concierge, or if they've stopped doing the free balloons??
Originally Posted By kari12177 Last year we stayed at the GCH, they knew it was my b-day and yet I didnt get a single thing. I had to ask for a button. So thats why i'm thinking I will probably have to pay for them. I will find out next week when I make reservs and i'll get more info
Originally Posted By liveforvacations I am starting to think that like a lot of customer service, it all depends on who you get at VP and how much they want to do for you!
Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 I agree, everyone is different. We use VP everytime we go and get everything we ask for. We always go through Brad, I tried to use someone else before, but didnt like the "attention" I got. Now that we use Brad, it is wonderful. He even sent us a thank you card when we got home. It was signed by him and everything. I would email them again and see if you can have those things waiting for the birthday child. Good luck! And happy planning!
Originally Posted By LuLu Just to clarify, I didn't go thru VP at all. The reservations CM had put a note in my file. When I checked in, the gal was SO nice about it. They really put in an effort to make a nice recognition of my bday, and I didn't even ask! So if you're not using VP, just ask a reservations CM.

For instance the cookie baskets from Cookie Design that are Disney themed are much cuter and better tasting, IMHO, and I believe are a better deal than the ones available from Disney. Check what is available for delivery from off-sites-they are hungry for the business and you just might find a much better deal.
