Boma Birthday Dessert

[megnog89]

I want to do something special for a birthday celebration at Boma. Since dessert is included in the buffet price,I am reluctant to get a cake on top of this. Does anyone know if they would be willing to plate a few zebra domes with "Happy Birthday" written on the plate? And who I would contact about setting this up? Zebra domes are her absolute favorite anyway so this seems like the best plan (if it's at all feasible!). Thanks!

On our honeymoon, which was noted on the reservation, they brought us out a pretty plate with some kind of writing (I can't remember exactly) with some little desserts and a card. While she is at the buffet, maybe you could ask your server.

And who I would contact about setting this up?

1) You can ask the SEATER (aka, hostess) when you check-in at the podium.
2) It is SOLELY up to the ambition/kindness of the CM if they wish to help.
3) Don't forget, they get lots of requests EVERY DAY for special favors.
4) They do not have the time to grant every one.
5) If you want something special, you should plan up it in advance and pay for it. (see below)
.
BIRTHDAY-ANNIVERSARY-HONEYMOON-GRADUATION-ETC Celebrations by Cast Members:
1) It is a matter of the CM's personal initiative.
. . . depends upon how much they like you as a guest
. . . it always helps to wear a Happy Birthday button
. . . 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 as they have immense control
. . . they are under no obligation to give goodies or even acknowledge special day
. . . they can go way overboard, give lots of gifts
. . . they have A LOT of leeway for what they will or will not do for you
. . . they can see the event if listed on the ADR or hotel ressie and you hope for the best
3) Some of the things a CM can do for free are
. . . table with Mickey confetti
. . . your name/celebration on menu at TS locations (except BOG)
. . . best table location
. . . special personalized menu
. . . character-autographed birthday cards
. . . balloons
. . . balloon animals
. . . wine or champagne or Shirley Temples

. . . appetizers or desserts
. . . cakes
. . . cupcake with candle (almost always available for the asking)

5) Some other items CM's can give for free
. . . room full of balloons and/or flowers
. . . fruit basket or wine basket in hotel room
. . . individual fast passes or booklets of several fast passes
. . . food and snack items (candy, popcorn, sundries)
. . . room upgrades
. . . attraction rides with characters
6) If you really want something special, buy it yourself.
. . . eatery: carry presents in and keep/hide them in a paper bag
. . . eatery: carry a cake in, but, WDW won't prepare, store, or serve it
. . . eatery: order non-decorated cake at the eatery podium check-in
. . . eatery: order decorated cake from the WDW Cake Hotline
. . . room: order special in-room celebration decorarting by Disney
. . . room: order strawberries and cream, if resort has room service
. . . room: decorate the room yourself
7) If there are multiple celebrations for people during a trip
. . . do not do separate celebration locations or tables
. . . one person may get an enthusiastic CM and get goodies
. . . one person may get a lazy CM and get nothing
8) Hundreds, or thousands, celebrate everyday at WDW.
9) It is too much time/money for CM's to attend or recognize all.
