Requesting cake at CP

[Steph5324]

Has anyone recently celebrated a birthday at Crystal Palace? I will be there Friday celebrating my son's fifth birthday. He doesn't eat cake but it is very important to him to have candles to blow out. So I don't want to pay $40 or whatever for an actual birthday cake that would just go to waste. Will they bring out a cupcake for him? Do I need to request this ahead of time or do they just do that if a birthday is noted on the PS? If I need to call, what would be the best time to call the restaurant so they aren't swamped? Maybe 3:00?

We've celebrated several birthdays there and have always gotten a free cupcake with a candle and a card signed by the characters. I usually note the birthday when I make the ps and then remind them when we get there. It's a fun place for a birthday!

My DD will celebrate his 4th birthday at CP in June. When I made the PS, the lady gave me a number to call to order a 6" cake. She told me how much it was, but I can't remember, it was less than $15 though I think. The number is 407-824-7091. She told me to call it when we get to Disney.

Celebrated DD's 5th and 6th at WDW in January 2003 and 2004. Both times had a birthday meal at CP. Both times the waitress brought a complimentary cupcake--after checking with me, of course. At 1900PF dinner, the hostess inquired if we wanted to purchase a cake in 1/2003. (I thought it was $15.95 or $19.95). I declined and they brought Victoria a free cupcake.

Nice story about 1900PF. I must give special kudos to Sandy, our server for dinner at 1900 Park Faire in 1/2003 and 5/2003. She had been our server in January 03 when we were celebrating Victoria’s birthday. Victoria became quite ill during that trip. She had spent the day in bed, but got up to go to Cinderella’s dinner. Unfortunately, she wasn’t up to it and ate only a few spoonfuls of Jell-o. She didn’t even touch the birthday cupcake Sandy brought her or want to wait in line to see Cinderella, her all-time favorite. We wound up at the hospital that evening where she diagnosed with walking pneumonia. Anyway, when we returned in 5/03, Sandy remembered that she had served us before and I mentioned that we had been in to celebrate Victoria’s birthday, but that she hadn’t felt well, so we were bringing her back to try again. Sandy remembered that Victoria had spent the meal with her head on the table. Well, towards the end of the meal Sandy walks in our general direction with a birthday cupcake and makes an announcement that Victoria was back to celebrate her birthday! It was so kind of her to help Victoria re-do her real birthday trip to 1900 Park Faire and really started that trip on a very magical note for us.
