I was worried that I had missed it somehow....your trip is getting so close, you ready? Haha!
I can't wait to hear about everything and see your pics....you always have great pics Glad I found you so I can hop on this last leg of the PTR ride!!! I was able to book a lunch for Sam and I at Coral Reef today for Sunday while we are at WDW. I was thinking about ordering a small cake (for her birthday) but wasn't sure if that was really a good thing to do with all the great dessert choices there. The other thing is I'd want to make sure we get a small cake so we don't have to take it with us. On the other hand, it would be cool to order a cake. What would you do?Great PTR as usual Sara
I'm hoping this weekend I can get to the store and buy things like sunscreen and chewing gum! Geez - I'm slipping, aren't I? 
Hey Sara - I have a question for you and need your expert opinion.
That's so awesome about the lunch at the Coral Reef - love that place and I'm kinda sad we aren't eating there this trip! 
The Chocolate Wave has alcohol, right? Is it noted on your reservation that you are celebrating a birthday? They brought Katie a make-your-own sundae which she liked. As far as the cake though, I think being that you aren't at a buffet, ordering a cake is nice. A special thing to do for her birthday. They do have those small cakes - for girls I think it is a princess jewelry box cake - I will look for a picture. They are fairly small, so you wouldn't have to waste a whole lot. Don't know if Sam would like it since it's princesses, but I think it's really cute. )

) and soak up a lot of atmosphere. I'd like to take a ride on the Liberty Belle (it's something we would almost always skip with kids) and see some Main St Performers (the barbershop quartet and the band among others). Mornings are for rides!!!)
I'm excited to be trying out a new place!!! (Well, The Plaza is new too!)
Hi Michelle!
Does Sam like the desserts at the Coral Reef?
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/celebrations/customizations/
Check that link out because it looks like they have a thing called "A Sweet Ending to Your Celebration" - Description:
Enrich any special occasion with uniquely Celebrations-inspired desserts available at most Disney restaurants. From truly indulgent desserts to delicious no-sugar-added treats, make your celebration not just sweeter, but more magical. No advanced booking or reservations required.
Sounds promising.
(That link also has the picture of the jewelry box cake, and IDK but it looks kind of young for her...
Hope I helped a little.
Michelle, in looking more at that site, there's always something like this you could do in the room for her:

They have a lot of options (and a lot of prices....

). I think it will be really cool to experience all the other attractions with just the two of you!
No problem, although I don't know if I was all that much help! The castle cake (I thought) you could only get from the GF bakery, but IDK....Sara - you are the best! I knew you'd come through with some great ideas!
We've never been to Coral Reef so I really don't know about the desserts. I spent some time on the cake thread last night and saw some really nice ones but way too big for the two of us. I love the size and presentation of the princess one in the box but not sure if it is too "young" for Sam. I think it would be nice to get something as we aren't usually at WDW for celebrations like this. Ugh! I did see a picture somewhere of a small castle type of cake. Maybe I'll do some more research.
And I love the stuff from disney florist! I just ordered a gift basket for Sam from somewhere else the other day or else that would have been perfect. Thanks for all the input and your great opinions!
Now, on to your MK day! I'm so excited for you guys! We tried the Plaza last October for lunch and really enjoyed it. And I can't wait to see how you like The Wave. It looks really neat but not really somewhere I'd take Sam.
As for more "adult" MK things to do...... I can't really think of any that you wouldn't do with your kids other than maybe the Liberty Belle and Hall of Presidents (darn, don't think that is open yet
Just think, next week at this time you will be there!!!!
The desserts at Coral Reef are really good, just don't know if Sam would like them - Chocolate Wave, Creme Brulee, something else, and then ice cream in the make-your-own-sundae thing. If you think she'd be ok with a "princess" type thing, I think that jewelry box cake is adorable and perfectly sized! 
Woo-hoo! A week from now I will be at Epcot!!! Getting ready for dinner at Teppan Edo! Woo-hoo!!! 
Sleeping Becca (yes I forgot to multi quote - or quote at all for that matter....) I love Mexican food, but those birds really bothered me on our trip over Thanksgiving. Some of them jumped up on our table....Ick....maybe I could just pick up some mexican and keep walking to a different spot!
Oh, we only had one friendly bird. We even named him Henry, because that's such a Mexican name! LOL
I will look for him and send him your best! Did you guys ever see "PUSH" the talking trash can in TomorrowLand?
How about taking a ride on one of the Main Street vehicles?
We loved joking around with all the Streetmosphere people on Main Street.
Have you ever stopped in at the Town Square Exhibition Hall and posed with the character cutouts?
How about stopping in Liberty Square and getting a "couple's" shadow portrait done... or one of those cartoon caricature portraits?
Of course, simply walking around the park, hand in hand, and not doing much of anything except enjoying the atmosphere sounds wonderful, too!!
Kathy
We have never seen PUSH, nor have we done the pictures in the cutouts! I think a caricature would be a hoot! Anything where they make my body look smaller (even if it is because my HEAD is ginormous) is good with me! 
Thanks for the ideas! My only suggestion for MK would be to just enjoy your time there not running from ride to ride. Take in all the details and breathe deeply

Oops! We have always done one in the past because we are in a big house offsite, and it made sense to have it delivered instead of wasting a couple of vacation hours at the grocery store, but for this trip, I just didn't really think we needed it being at the Poly. I had it delivered for between 1 and 3 (our flight arrives at 1:15) so hopefully it will be there when we arrive to check in! Yay! 
I think the spanish version of Henry is Enrique....
