I tried to find some sort of "My Account" thing to go to so I could make sure they have the correct year of my birth (and I'm quite sure that when I started the account that I entered it in correctly) but couldn't find anywhere to check. Anyways, I am flattered that the website thinks I am under 13 years of age but I'm really turning 40 in a few days. Any suggestions, anyone?

Originally Posted By Brer Human Well, yeah, I was sort of hoping to "speed up the process at the ticket window." But, I guess I'll do it without the online registration. Still wonder what is making them think I am under 13. Maybe they think anybody who WANTS to go to Disneyland must be under 13. Anyways, thanks for the birthday wish.

Also, if you have an AP, you should update the bar code number that's on your current AP. The bar code number on your pass changes every year and needs to be updated just as often. If the above doesn't work, you can call them and maybe they can solve the problem. Good luck.

Originally Posted By Brer Human Well, part of what I'm saying is I haven't been able to find the "personal information" part of my account. I will probably just skip the whole online registration part anyway. And it seems like they are forcing me to...
Originally Posted By danyoung SuperDry, you're exactly right, and I believe that that is the only reason why the online registration exists - because you're more willing to give out extra personal information when sitting quietly in front of your computer than you would be at a ticket booth just a few steps away from a Disney park.
