Adult guests must enroll in the rewards program, or give an email address and phone number, in order to qualify for the in-store event. Each person can stuff one "furry friend" and will be charged a dollar for each year they've been alive- so a 12-year-old will pay $12, while a 6-year-old will only pay $6. The entire collection of animals, including the licensed characters, are part of the promotion.

You won't need to show identification to prove your age; however, those over age 29 will only pay $29; those under age 1 will pay $1.
