I called the number for the bakery at the Contemporary and left a voicemail last week. They called me back the next day. If you're open to picking up a cake, an order from the Contemporary would be picked up at The Wave.
Success!! I called the Pop number from Post 2, talked to a super nice lady who couldn’t get her hands on the direct number (she was looking so hard and very apologetic) but gave me an email address to use. I sent the email about 10am, and got a call back from a super nice lady at the Grand Flo about 1pm. Their options were limited so I couldn’t do the 2 tier mini cake I was aiming for, but we’re doing a 6 inch with a second tier quoted at $115. My original email request was for a Baby Yoda theme but at the time of my call, she said they had submitted a request to higher ups about permissions to do Baby Yoda because I had not been the first person today to request it, and so I had said in my email if that wasn’t available we would like classic Mickey. She said she would notate that and if they got permission do Baby Yoda, do it and if not, Mickey was good. She emailed me my receipt just now and said in the email they did hear back and can do Baby Yoda so I was super excited! It’s a happy retirement cake for my roommate’s dad (basically my extra dad), and he’s obsessed with Baby Yoda so he’ll be so surprised! (This will be his first weeklong Disney trip and first Disney trip with no kids so it’s going to be so great for him to kick off retirement!) We pick up after 4pm at the Grand Flo on our arrival day. I’m so excited!
Awesome to hear! We are celebrating my husbands retirement! At Disney in 3 days. I was told at first GF wasn’t able to deliver, but was called back and they can deliver to our resort. Congrats!
I started with BW bakery - Heather was the CM. She was the one who told me all custom cakes are being made by GF. They cannot deliver to the room, but will deliver to CBR front desk. I was calling GF multiple times a day and never reached anyone. Heather emailed me to make sure I was able to order, and when I explained I wasn’t able to get through on phone she had them call me. Super impressed with the follow up. I received a call from Glorimar who works in private dining at GF and ended up ordering 2 cakes. One for my husbands retirement and one for my birthday.
I received that message for 2 days and had given up when Heather followed up. I would try pressing the in room dining option or calling the GF front desk directly. The worst that can happen is you call the wrong number. I figure with decreased guests at the hotels, Disney would want to make sure the guests that are staying on property are completely satisfied. You’re gracing them with spending your vacation dollars there- don’t give up or settle. IMO - any little thing you can do to make your visit special is worth it during COVID.Thanks! I called BW last week. They told me no cakes from them, but it was a guy I spoke with and he didn't pass on the info about the GF. I've called a few numbers so far at the GF. One of the numbers gave me a line and extension for ordering cakes that is part of in-room dining, but each time I try, it rings and then gives me a "your call can't be completed" message. I'm tempted to select option 1 for actual in-room dining to see if they will get me in touch with someone, but we'll see if I have to resort to that. It sounds like you received some excellent service.
Now just waiting for a call back so someone can take my payment info. I wound up calling the GF's in-room dining line again and selecting option 1. The guy who answered transferred me to the bakery. I talked to two different people in the bakery, but one of them took down all of my cake order info and is going to have my cakes delivered to the Boardwalk lobby. We have two milestone birthdays we're celebrating and one bday that's about a week before the trip. So, I just decided to get three mini wedding cakes. I had all kinds of sketches, but I'm just not in the mood for making this difficult, so I'm going to leave the artistic license up to the pastry chefs.
I don't know about the glass slipper dessert, but I know that they will not deliver cakes to your room at the moment. I was asked to pick ours up at The Wave.
While I'm sure this isn't really news, I tried calling the line at Boardwalk to see if they'd started doing cakes yet and the answer is still no.We're staying at BWV and a cake back at the room was really my favorite option. I'm not liking the cost to satisfaction ratios with some of the outside bakery reviews, I canceled my one ADR at the GF and our ADRs at YC and Contemporary are kind of iffy...so I think I'm just going to get domes at Amorette's and be done with my cake quest. Heck, I'll have my car...I might even go to Publix.
Not sure about all resorts, but the cake I've ordered for 2/6 I'm having to pick up at GF. They wouldn't deliver to me at Pop.
