I just called Disney Vacation Planning to try and get more info on the cakes. The CM I spoke with wasn't overly cheerful to say the least.
She said the cakes can only be delivered to Disney hotel rooms OR Disney hotel restaurants.
I said what if we don't want it delivered but plan to pick it up ourselves.
She said you won't be able to get it through security. Which stumped me for a minute until I realized she thought I was going to pick it up and take it into one of the parks.
I said I'm not going to be going through security, then she quickly said well, you have to go through security to get into the parks and they can't cut it up to search the cake.
So I explained that what I meant was I wasn't taking it into the park, but rather planning to pick it up and take it to another hotel we were staying at near by.
She then told me to call the hotel I was staying at and see if they had a bakery and could help me out.
Whatever! I felt she was rude. She could just say picking it up simply isn't an option.
So I guess that's that unless:
1. Someone else wants to give it a try. Maybe they'll have better luck or get a different CM.
OR
2. We order one for our character meal, but I'm not sure who will want cake so early in the morning and right after a buffet. That's why I didn't suggest it before.
