Help. Newbie. Birthday cake, Cowboy cookout or cafe mickey

[nattynooy]

Hi all.
New to the forum, so please be nice.
Off to Disney Paris on Friday.
We have a birthday when we are there.
I am going to book the birthday cake, but i really want to be sure to get characters to bring it out.

we are on the standard full board meal plan.

Cowboy cookout is therefore free (apart from the cake)
Cafe Mickey we will have to pay extra for each person and there is 8 of us.

Can anyone tell me what would be the best time to book at cowboy cook out to be sure to get characters with cake, we don't want to go for the sweet tea party as we are not a big fan of cakes and sweets.

sorry if this is a bit long
So excited
Love
Natty xxxx

I'm sure you'll get some great advice about Cowboy Cookout with birthday cake. Just thought I'd mention though, you could (all 8 of you) do Cafe Mickey at lunch or dinner with the birthday cake, and use your standard table service vouchers at face value there, but not eat from the a la carte menu. You could, instead, order some pizza and sides to share between you all (I always do this at Cafe Mickey because I think thats better value than the kids meals options there).

We do the same at Cafe Mickey. Pizza, fries (these aren't on the menu but if ask it's no problem) and then a nice dessert
