When did Disneyland stop being free on your birthday?

In 2009, as part of the What Will You Celebrate promotion, Walt Disney World offered free admission for guests on their birthdays. That offer ended on December 31, 2009, but it may have been one of the most popular promotions ever at Disney because so many people remember it and hope it is still in effect.
