Birthday in universal

[Bazinga 39]

We are going for a week in May and my youngest DD will celebrate her 8th birthday while we are there, we are only doing universal this time as she loves Harry Potter at the moment, do universal do birthday badges like Disney do?, or anything else anyone can recommend? Thanks

Indeed, Universal do buttons for birthdays etc. just ask at Guest Services:

If you want you can ask for the birthday phone at the turnstiles - it isn't always available but it's fun if they've got it working. The hotels give a voucher for a free drink or snack if you mention the birthday to the front desk staff.

If in Islands of adventure and the Mystic Fountain is working tell it that it's your birthday and see what happens!

The most beneficial part of having a birthday in Universal comes when you visit Ollivander’s Wand Shop. As most of you who have already visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter know, once you enter Ollivander’s, the wizard “randomly” picks one person from a crowd of about twenty to have a wand chosen for them. This is when your birthday comes in handy. If you are wearing a birthday button when you go into Ollivander’s, no number of excited children will stop Ollivander from choosing you. So get down the front!

You can order cakes for your room - speak to front desk.

Thanks brilliant, thanks very much geoffa for that info, our girls had wands from Ollivanders last year but looks like we may need to do it all over again
