Birthday Freebies at Disney Springs
Free and Disney are two things you don’t hear often, so I’ve got to spill the tea when I find some ‘freebies’ to take advantage of. This month was my birthday, so I even got to test some of these out at Disney Springs! I’m sharing where these freebies are, what you need to do to get them and what freebie you’ll get.
Celebration Buttons
This is a well known Disney Freebie, but it’s absolutely one you should take advantage of! These are buttons you can wear that show that you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, 1st visit, and more. You can pick these up at any Disney Gift Shop or Guest Services location.
You never know what may happen when you wear these, you’ll definitely get lots of ‘happy birthdays’ but you may even get some pixie dust too. Remember, it isn’t guaranteed that anything will happen, but it doesn’t hurt to wear one!
Kendra Scott
Ok, this one technically isn’t free, BUT it’s one of my favorite Birthday perks that I do every year. At Kendra Scott, if you have an account with them (basically you gave them your email) you can get up to 50% off an item! Their fine and demi-fine jewelry is 25% off and their fashion jewelry is 50% off.
Keep in mind that there will be some items that do not qualify, like the Disney Collaboration Collection, so be sure to check with a sales associate.
You can find Kendra Scott in the town center area of Disney Springs. If you park in the Lime Garage, you’ll go immediately left when you come out of the escalator and if you are coming from the bus stop, you’ll turn immediately right when you walk into Springs.

Sephora
Sephora fans will be excited for this one! If you sign up for their rewards program, you can receive a free gift during your birthday. There are a few options you can choose from - when I went, I could choose a face care kit, a hair care kit, and a makeup sample. These can change from time to time, but you can check the Sephora rewards app for the current options.
When you get to the check-in counter, they’ll verify the email for your account and then let you choose your gift! You can find Sephora almost right across from Kendra Scott.
Summer House on the Lake
This is a newer offering as this restaurant just opened earlier this year. If you aren’t familiar with Summer House on the Lake, it’s one of my FAVORITE restaurants that features fresh flavors. But my favorite part is the Cookie Bar full of delicious fresh baked cookies and rice crispies (they have delish coffee too)
On your birthday if you ask, you can get a FREE cookie! You can walk up to the cookie bar and get your treat, or if you dine in, you can get your cookie with a scoop of ice cream and candle.
Summer House also has a rewards program through Lettuce Entertain You where you can get $15 on your birthday to use on your meal. This rewards program is still pretty new for the Disney Springs location, so you may need to ask your server on redeeming that voucher.
You can find Summer House on the lake way over on the West Side of Disney Springs almost down by Cirque Du Solei.

Sprinkles Cupcakes
What’s a birthday without any cake? Cupcakes that is! Sprinkles Cupcakes is known for their super fun cupcake ATM at the Disney Springs location. BUT if you are signed up for Sprinkles Loyalty program you can get a FREE cupcake for your birthday! You unfortunately won’t be able to grab this at the ATM - you’ll need to go inside to order. They even have a cupcake with a candle that you can get!
If you are a higher tier loyalty member you can get even more cupcakes for your birthday reward! You will definitely want to make sure that you sign up for this rewards program at least a month in advance. I made the bad choice of not signing up for things until a few days before and luckily they were still able to honor my reward, but not everywhere will be able to do so.
Sprinkles is located in the back of the Town Center area of Disney Springs back over near Frontera Cocina and Pandora Jewlers.
Earl of Sandwich
Over in the Marketplace you can find Earl of Sandwich famous for their hot sandwiches! They also have a loyalty program where you can get a free cookie or brownie for your birthday. You’ll receive an email with a barcode that you’ll need to scan at checkout.
I recommend signing up for their rewards a few weeks in advance so that you can make sure that you get your email. If you are already a member, you may even be able to get a free sandwich if you are a high enough tier!
This location does also sell Carlos Bakery cake and cookies, just be aware that these do NOT count as your birthday freebie.
Starbucks
Who doesn’t love free coffee? If you are a Starbucks Star member you can get a free any drink any size OR a food item. This was a great value for a freebie because you literally just have to sign up and can get a HUGE drink! Just be aware that this one has to be ON your actual birthday.
There are two Starbucks locations at Disney Springs. One is next to World of Disney and the other is over near the AMC theatre.
Wetzel’s Pretzels
Don’t worry, I have a savory freebie too! Wetzel’s Pretzels will give you a free regular or sinful cinammon pretzel if you are a loyalty member! This one does come with a catch. When you sign up, you must make a purchase before your rewards kick in. If you are a new member, I recommend cashing in this freebie if you intend on getting more than one pretzel - think of it more like a bogo.
You can find a few Wetzel’s Pretzels throughout Disney Springs. (One is right across from World of Disney and Starbucks.)
