Be Our Guest Birthday!

[Gio6908]

My princess is turning 2 this december 7th and I'm thinking about having a birthday dinner at Be Our Guest. I hope I can get reservations for that night! Does Disney do any special things for birthdays? We would like to order a cake and have them bring it out! Any information would help if you have ever celebrated a bday at Disney! Thanks

You can special order a cake to be delivered to your table through Disney (407-827-2253). A customized cake needs to be ordered 48-hours in advance (http://www.wdwinfo.com/just_for_kids/birthdays.htm#bc). They are not cheap, but there have been some really cute ones (see http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2118274 for photos).

Note that you can currently order a cake for most TS restaurants, but nothing has been announced official for BoG.

BoG will likely have the same supplier for fancy fondant cakes as the other MK restaurants (private dining at the Contemporary Resort). However, since it hasn't opened yet and you can't make a reservation at this time I am not sure if you will be able to place your order this far ahead. You can call them and ask but you may need to wait unitl you have a reservation.

Thanks for the help! I will definetly call the first day we can make reservations and start looking into the cakes so everything will be ready by December for my princess!

For birthdays, anniversies, and other celebrations,
no restaurant/resort is that much better than another.

1) Acknowledgment is a matter of the CM's personal initiative.
. . . depends upon how much they like you as a guest
. . . depends if they feel like doing anything special today
. . . depends upon the phase of the moon
2) CM's can do a lot, or they can do nothing at all.
. . . they are under no obligation to give goodies or even acknowledge, or
. . . they can go way overboard and give lots of gifts to a guest
3) The CM's have a lot of leeway of things to do or not do for you.
4) Have your anniversary-birthday-celebration noted on the ressie and ADR's.
5) Some of the things a CM can do for free are
. . . decorate table with Mickey confetti
. . . best table location
. . . special personalized menu
. . . character-autographed birthday cards
. . . balloons
. . . wine or champagne or Shirley Temples
. . . appetizers or desserts
. . . cakes
. . . cupcake with candle (almost always available for the asking)
. . . placemats autographed by characters
. . . free appy or free dessert
. . . room full of balloons and/or flowers
. . . fruit basket or wine basket in hotel room
