Over the last few days, I've been seriously considering ordering one of the famous cakes that you can special order. I made the mistake of watching the Disney Delights special on The Food Network last week and ever since I saw that I convinced myself that I needed to find a way to incorporate a cake into our trip somehow.
So I subscribed to the Cake Chatter thread here on the DIS and now I don't know what to do with myself!
Here are just a few examples of cakes people have gotten:

Sooo...I spent almost the entire day perusing the pictures and the information and found that if I want a REALLY good cake like the ones above, I pretty much need to go with one of two places: The bakery at the Contemporary or the bakery at the Grand Floridian. You can order it from the Cake Hotline (yes, that's really what it's called) and they can pretty much deliver it anywhere, but it won't be anywhere near what's in the pictures above. They usually do regular buttercream frosting only with only mild customization...most people have complained about spending a lot of money on a cake they could have bought at their local grocery store.
There were a lot of people who ordered cakes (and were nice enough to share their pictures and experiences) and it seems that the GF or the CR are the best.
The problem is that they will only deliver to your room if you're staying AT their resort...OR they can deliver it to one of the restaurants in that particular resort. Since we are staying at CSR, I could not have a cake made at the Contemporary and delivered to us, nor could I order it from the Contemporary and have it delivered to any restaurant except one actually at the Contemporary.
We are eating at the GF once and at the CR once....both times, however, are for breakfast. I certainly don't want cake for breakfast, nor do I want to have to go back to CSR to deposit it in the room then go back out to the park.
Lumar thinks it's more trouble than it's worth and I slightly agree. We don't really have a reason to have a specially ordered custom cake made (unless we make it a "Congratulations on Your Impending Pink Slips!" cake
) and they can be expensive...around $100 or so. It's just something I really wanted to do. This would have been a lot easier if they would deliver it anywhere.
However, I'm thinking about canceling our ADR at Hollywood & Vine anyway on 10/24 (since I'm really nervous about it based on all of the horrible reviews it gets)...We could leave DHS at 7:30 and go to a late dinner at either the GF or CR. But this means we would miss EMH and we would
have to see Fantasmic on our other DHS day ortherwise we won't see it at all and that can't happen.... I guess it will probably have to wait until another trip.
The other park music that I have is on WDW CDs that I actually bought at WDW. They had a Magic Kingdom Event Music CS that has Boo-To-You, Hallowishes, and all of the music from the P&PP on it, and there is another one that has Sorcerer Mickey on the cover - it's 2 disks and has the them music for the different lands/parks as well as music from the attractions. I can't remember the name of it...I'll have to check when I get home.
I have Wishes on my Ipod, but not Illuminations, I should get that too! You have lots of great songs that I never even thought of looking for! 
Love your list!
