Need Birthday Ideas and cake suggestions for a 4yr old

[starstruck93]

We're taking our son to Disney Sept. 9-15. His birthday is Sept. 16th but obviously we won't be there then; so we're celebrating it early. We're arriving on the 9th at around check in time at the Poly. I've planned on having a surprise in the room for him when we get there and then I'm making ADR at CM for that night around 6:30 and ordering a cake from there. I planned this for our first night to sort of kick things off for the week. Should I celebrate it the first night at CM or would you choose another night and another restraunt? Will they bring the cake out with th4e characters and sing to him or do I have to request this? Below is my plan for the week. What restraunts have the best cakes, characters etc. for birthday celebrations? Also, I know on the Disney web-site it says you can contact the florist there and they will deliver stuff to the room. However, I'm not too impressed with what they show. Are there other things available? Can you call a store in the park and pick out stuff? Thanks so much for your help! April

I can't speak from experience, but we have the exact same plans for our son's 4th birthday in August. I am hoping to get the first ADR at Chef Mickey's on our arrival night because I hear you can be the family that helps open the doors and will be escorted to your table by the characters. I'll probably just get a small Mickey cake. I don't want to have a lot of left over cake!

I'm also looking at ordering a gift basket from Memories by Betsy. Nothing huge, but the basics - autograph book, Epcot passport, mouse ears, maybe a few toys.
