About.com’s Travel with Kids editor and Family Vacations expert, Teresa Plowright, let everyone in on a little secret recently when she blogged about Disney World being free on your birthday. That’s right. Disney. FREE!

Of course, being a Mickey Mouse fan, I had to check it out, and sure enough, she was right. Disney is offering FREE admission on your birthday at Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida or Disneyland® Resort in California during 2009. The finer points of the offer require that you register for your free admission (for you or on behalf of a child) and have proof of birth date upon admission.

If you want to save even more during your Disney birthday celebration, consider renting an Orlando vacation home nearby.
