My son has only ever been picked once and it wasn't on his b-day. He might have been wearing the Star Wars shirt with the Jedi emblem on it that day. I know he definitely was wearing my aztec gold pirate coin necklace. The last time he tried, he had his b-day button on, and was jumping around saying "Please Master pick me like crazy." The last time he tried they picked some girl that was clearly out of the age range posted for this. - Lelundrial  339.5 #430 2:48PM

my son jumps as high as he possibly can into the air, he really gives it all he's got, and it's been very effective.  sounds lame, but it has worked 4/5 times :)   the extreme effort he puts into his jumps seals the deal.    - Stardecked  277.7 #744 3:06PM

My boy has gotten picked everytime. He wears a star wars shirt and my husband makes a scene. My husband usually holds him up and yells 'pick him!" my son yells and waves his hands in the air. Worked everytime. - Disneyaddict  200.2 #1624 3:40PM

My 2 princesses were chosen, dressed as Cinderella and Snow White. They had hands raised and just prayed! - joyfulmomma  229.4 #1246 3:44PM

My son did! As instructed, he jumped up and down with his hands in the air screaming "Me! Me!" until the guy picked him! - rrrumpunch  269.9 #821 3:48PM

Both my sons have been chosen think it helps if you stand behind them and cheer along! Also I made sure both boys wore bright color tshirts! - deeindisney  4.3 #12387 4:35PM

After 7 or 8 failed attempts, over two separate 3 day trips, both of my sons finally got picked for the same show. How did we do it? After the last failed attempt, my older son begged me to get him a lightsaber so he could wave it during the selection. I gave in and  and bought one. Sure enough, he got picked. He handed it to his younger brother and he started waving it and then he got picked. This was a few years ago, so I don't know if things have changed. - Bonedaddy  22.9 #4808 4:42PM
