Garden Grill for Birthday

[rusty4]

According to the WDW Dining reservations Garden Grill provides a small birthday cake. Does anyone know anything about this? Is the info correct and do I need to do anything in advance to get DS one? I didn't even know anything about it until I made the reservation and saw the info there.

From the Disney World reservations

I didn't think that any of the restaurants provided an actual cake. You can buy a cake (look for the cake thread). Many restaurants do give the special people a cupcake--it's pretty good.

That is what I thought too. I just added above in orginal post info from the Disney reservations site when I made our reservations.

We were at Garden Grill on 9/23 (can't believe it has been a month already ) and DD was given a birthday cupcake in addition to the regular child dessert. I saw many cupcakes go by no cakes.

Thank goodness! We will be eating there for DS's birthday next trip and I didn't want him to get a cake and the girls not to (we're eating at CRT and 1900 PF on different night for their birthdays).

I actually would prefer that to a full cake anyway. Hopefully that is what they are talking about. Did you just have to tell them when you checked in.

When I had originally made the reservation online, there was a spot to note any celebrations. I didn't even think about it when checking in (I was pooped out LOL) but after we were seated, our waiter asked me about the birthday and said he would take care of it.

Thank you! I just found it after looking at the reservation again.
