Maybe someone told him you get front of the line when they meant to say front ROW. Just trying to help out a fellow LPer. : ) Also, I noticed the CM's seem a little put off when you ask for the front row on some rides. I'm sure they get tired of guests asking all day. Which is why when I pointed to my birthday button I received less attitude.

On It's A Small World the CM's were so joyful and friendly about the button asking how many years (25) and then announcing it to everyone in line and then saying "we're giving you the cruise you should have had on your honeymoon" and let us ride in the boat all alone. I wanted a birthday button as I'll be 50 this year but not celebrating in DL but I just enjoyed getting the anniversary button instead.

Originally Posted By ABBY Never got any front of the line privileges but I got lots of desserts on my birthday . There are certain rides that I always wait for the front (or back in the case of Thunder). It seems in the past some cast members seemed a little irritated when I asked to wait for the front or back...but not on my birthday !! They were all happy to do it, offering birthday wishes as well

My favorite birthday was when I turned 50 in the park during the 50th, the CM's went out of their way to help me enjoy it, one of them was just as exited for me as I was!

Riding in the wheelhouse is really easy -- just ask the dock CM, who will check with the CM in the wheelhouse and have them let you in. Since the boat is on a track, there isn't much piloting to do, but they will usually let you blow the steam whistle (which is really cool).
Originally Posted By ophellia no, I didnt get front of the line privies...but on my 40th Bday I was on the Mark Twain and a CM piloting a Davy Crocket canoe saw my Bday sticker and led his canoe in singing Happy Birthday,it was SO cool!...when I worked at Rancho in 2001 we gave a free one scoop sundae to folks wearing a Bday sticker...
