California Grill "surprise"

[#1DopeyFan]

My daughter will be going to the University of Tampa in August and her and I will be driving down (from Missouri) with all of her stuff. We plan to make a one night stop at Disney, of course, stay on property and go to California Grill before heading on to Tampa.
To my point, have you ever done or do you know, can I do some kind of surprise cake or dessert or something for her to celebrate her heading off to college?

You could look into order a custom cake. Check out the custom cake thread for lots of information:

Besides anything custom (which WILL work well - Disney is GREAT at this).... let the California Grill KNOW your situation. You can't email them - WDW won't let you. You CAN call WDW DINING, and make a note on your reservation - repeat this with the CG clerk at the floor 2 check in desk. I can not guarantee what the CG staff will do....
but if they know what's up? They are going to do SOMETHING - and it will be wonderful .

Pure suggestion - if he is on that night? Ask for server SAHD . If so motivated, tell him Dean sent you .
