They Ate His Cake

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Last week I was in Disney as was my my friend with her family, part of the reason they picked last week was because their son was turning 6 on Friday. My friend called ahead and ordered a pirate birthday cake with white cake & white frosting, it was to be put in their room fridge between 4-5 pm & they were returning to the room at 7 to celebrate some more & have cake & watch Wishes from their room....

She can't find the cake in the room, goes in the hall & sees someone delivering & asks for her cake, the Cast Member says it was delivered......bottom line it was delivered at he right time to the wrong room, bad news but mistakes happen. The REAL issue is the family in the other room ATE the cake that said Happy 6th Birthday D_ _ _ _ !!!!
The kitchen, F&B manager etc. all called the room which accepted the delivery & the family just stated they ate it!!!!
I can't imaginePoor Kid....

Did Disney make good and at least send some kind of birthday cake for free.
I think that is the least they could do since it was there mistake.

Nice people! Good grief, some people are simply amazing. "Hey it's a free cake, hurry, let's eat it before they figure out it belongs to someone else! They can't make us pay for it!" Oink oink, snarf snarf snarf.

That's........................... well, that's me not knowing what to say!

What kind of people eat someone else's birthday cake?

I agree...the family obviously ate something that wasn't theirs. Shame on them. What message are they giving to their kids????

On the other hand...I wouldn't want to eat a cake that had been misdelivered. I don't know...I'm just a germ-a-phobe. You just don't know if someone sneezed on it or something. KWIM???

Hopefully, Disney somehow made the situation A-OK with some Disney Magic.

Seriously, I would not want a cake that was delivered to another room, would you?I am not a germaphobe (quite the opposite). If it was flower, fine. A stuffed animal, fine. Food, not so much.

So I will withold my outrage.

It was the fault of Disney, it should be an easy enough mistake to correct.

It was a specialty cake so not that easy to replace....they finally had a replacement cake in their room at 9:15!

I agree, I doubt that they had a 6 yr old B-day boy with them with the same name.

I am glad they were able to replace it.

That's not fun.



About half of the leftovers of our wedding cake was thrown out by housekeeping at the Courtyard where we had our guests stay. We had two suites; one for me and one for hubby, we had confirmed late checkout on both of them, there were tuxes hanging in his suite (we stayed at a completely different inn on our wedding night, but left all our stuff at the Courtyard). When we got back, hubby went to his suite to get the tuxes and the cake in his fridge, and found the maid putting the big boxes of heavy cake into her garbage bin on her cart. Salvaged some of them, and I had some in my fridge, but still, it was bad. The top of the cake was thrown out.

Courtyard definitely made up for it, though. Turns out the confirmed late checkout info was never passed along to housekeeping! Can't really get a top of a wedding cake back, but we had chunks that we could keep, and they paid for us to get another cake (size of a top of a wedding cake not a WHOLE cake) made for our anniversary, among other things.


Sigh. Cakes.

I think they should have made them pay for it. If they accepted it into their room, and it wasn't just put in there while they were out, than they knew they were eating a cake that was mis-delivered. They shouldn't have accepted delivery, or should have called up when they read the name on the cake.

I just can't believe they accepted it no questions asked. The first words out of my mouth would be "I didn't order a cake!" If nothing else I would have been afraid of being charged for something that I did not order.

Good grief, I hope those cakey calories goes straight to their thighs. That is very mean.

Come on EB, you KNOW what those types of people are called!!!!

I hope that they did a room charge too them for BOTH cakes!!!

The one they ate and the replacement!

Since the cake had the childs name AND number of his birthday on it, they KNEW they were eating some little boys suprise birthday cake. That is low!!

 

[ryan840]

Wow, that's probably one of the lowest things I've heard of. Goes right along with running in front of people in wheelchairs to get on the bus.

ETA- Wanted to clarify, I wouldn't want that cake redelivered anyway, but that doesn't excuse them from not letting anyone know it was misdelivered!

I hope Disney took that off their bill and added it on to the people that ate it!

Well, I know in a restaurant you can't re-serve food, even if it was not what you ordered, or something. So if they already got the cake, it's not like Disney can just take the cake back and deliver it to the correct person, it goes against food sanitation stuff. What if the kid had allergies to peanuts, nad the people in the wrong room were eating some, but then the dust landed on the cake and then if they got it back, the kid ate it and went into anaphylaxis. I would imagine there are regulations about what you can and cannot do as far as re-serving food that's been delivered to the wrong person, but I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't be able to just take the cake once it's been delivered and give it to the correct person, too many food hygeine issues.

Sorry if this post is a bit rambling. It's still early.
