One of these days I will get to CG (I just keep telling myself that and one day it will come to be).
Your pork looks heavenly as does Hunter's steak.
And what a beautiful and wonderful surprise from your hubby for your anniversary. The cake is so very pretty. I wouldn't have wanted to cut it.
Amazing gorgeous anniversary cake (( love it! )) Hunter did really good, just beautiful : ) I know it's hard to surprise your wife or husband and especially during a trip when your together all the time ... Nice job saying he was talking to his Mom!
Your entire anniversary dinner and day overall was a complete success with time together during the morning and afternoon, with friends for dinner and a sweet ending with that gorgeous cake!
Aww, that is so sweet of Hunter!
The cake looks fabulous, what a wonderful surprise
Didn't want to post this with your anniversary comment since it's sooooo off topic (( well kinda )) But reading your comments after your trails end chicken and waffles and wanted to mention that in Las Vegas & San Diego they have an incredible restaurant with incredible chicken and waffles ( actually bacon waffles ) It's called Hash House A Go Go and here's the link

Knowing you took a quick trip to Disneyland I'm thinking you may live near Calif. or Vegas so thought I'd toss it out there if your ever near one. They also have one in Orlando but personally I like disney restaurants during our disney trips, so maybe if your visiting Vegas or San Diego give it a try ... Everything's made to order and farm fresh too : )
Wow! What a thoughtful hubby!!! Your cake was beautiful and everything looked so wonderfully delicious! Looks like you had a lovely anniversary celebration!

How sweet of Hunter! I've been following your posts for quite some time and the two of you seem like the perfect couple....so well suited to each other! Congratulations on your anniversary!
Paula, I know I don't post much on your thread but I absolutely love reading them! Your reviews are so amazing and fun to read. Thank you so much for sharing them here.
And, you have an awesome hubby! That cake is absolutely adorable. And it looks like it was really yummy too. So glad that you had an extra magical anniversary dinner. Nothing better than to celebrate it with great food, great friends and in the greatest place on earth!
Wonderful review from your anniversary dinner at California Grill!!! Reading about the presentation of that beautiful cake and seeing the video again brought a few tears to my eyes, just as it did when it actually happened. Such a sweet and thoughtful thing for Hunter to do...he's a pretty awesome guy!
I know that I've told you this before, but I just have to say it again. Your dining report from your 5th anniversary trip was the inspiration for my 25th anniversary trip to WDW. Though it wasn't easy to persuade my DH, your report gave me the confidence I needed to be persistent. I never could have imagined then that five years later I would not only have met you both but also have the great honor of being present at your 10th anniversary dinner.
I can't thank you enough for allowing me to join you on this anniversary trip...reading about the last one was great but actively being a a part of this one was sooo awesome!
Aw, that is so sweet! The cake looks delish!
Paula, I just had to delurk to tell you that I actually got a bit misty over those gorgeous cake pics. I don't post much, but have really enjoyed getting to "know" you and Hunter through your wonderful dining reviews. Thanks for letting us all share your special day with you. Hope you have many more happy anniversaries!!
Hunter did well ordering that cake and it looks delicious. You pork two ways also looks very good. Glad I got to go with you guys later in the week.
I love your reaction to the cake, Paula. Very sweet!
That cake is adorable. Go Hunter!
Wow, what a great dining report. I just finished reading about your Anniversary dinner at California Grill. My wife and I have celebrated our Anniversary's here several times over the years and always had wonderful evenings. Thanks for taking us around on your wonderful vacation and I can't wait to read your next post.
Such a sweet surprise. And the food looks amazing! CA Grill is on the top of my to-do list...
What an absolutely amazing anniversary dinner. Your food looks absolutely amazing and is making me so hungry as I eat my not so amazing bowl of corn flakes this morning.
What a wonderful husband you have to get that gorgeous cake. It was truly beautiful. If he would like to text my husband and give him some pointers for my bday trip that would be appreciated ; )
What a wonderful anniversary meal. My DH & I actually have a reservation there for our anniversary in October. That cake is absolutely adorable. What a lovely surprise.
We love, love, loved dining with you for your special Anniversary dinner at one of my favorite restaurants - anywhere!!! Thanks for including our son and his girlfriend. Gotta say that I love your chef connections.
The cake was beautiful and I'm glad that you were surprised. Hunter did a fantastic job!
I've fallen behind on my DIS subscriptions once again but have just finished reading about your wonderful anniversary dinner at Cali Grill. It looks like a fabulous evening and that cake was gorgeous! How sweet of Hunter to arrange that little surprise for you!
That cake was SO beautiful!! What a nice touch for your 10 year anniversary!
Your anniversary dinner looked wonderful! And that cake! I've always wanted to do something special like that but it's usually just DH and me for our trips so I'm not sure if we could really eat it all.
Wow, it's so awesome that you are friends with one of the chefs at Disney! I'm looking forward to more updates. I'm sorry your meal at Yachtsman was unimpressive, but I'm glad they got it sorted out for you once you emailed them. For what its worth, we have had nothing but great meals there. I hope you give them a try in the future again but I wouldn't blame you if you didn't.
Hi Paula,
I just found and read the entire thread (over the last few days). I'm really enjoying it - thanks. I also enjoyed both Barb's and Brenda's. We have some overlap in restaurants with you for our upcoming December trip.
A couple of semi-personal questions if you don't mind. First, what does your screen name refer to? Also, when you mention taking light rail to the airport, which airport, ie are you in Northern or Southern CA? I'm just curious.
I used to be a Stampin' Up demonstrator so that is what that was referring too...
I Live in San Jose for work so I take the lightrail from the room I rent to the bus to the airport...
One of our ADRs is Yachtsman Steakhouse, so I hope your email will help make our experience better.
Hopefully so!
Finally, on all our ADRs towards the later part of our trip have my niece's celiac marked, so it's good to know that they took care of Hunter.
Thanks again for an enjoyable couple of evenings.
