Okay, so I'm going to start posting a lot most likely because I booked a trip, it's coming up in just over a month, it's my 40th birthday trip (a little belated) and we're celebrating my son turning 9 and well, cake is just about the most important part of birthdays and Disney trips so lots of cake thoughts are running through my head. Trip details: It's just me and my 9 year old son, 4 days staying at Pop Century. One day in each park but AK won't be a full day since we return to the airport at 5. Planning on 1 TS meal in each park and maybe 1 additional non-park meal.
Here's some options I'm considering.....
A) One custom birthday cake for me and one for him at the same restaurant/meal.
B) Cake for me at restaurant of my choice and separate cake for him at special meal/restaurant geared more towards him
C) One cake for the both of us at every TS meal for the trip - would come out to 4 or 5 cakes
D) Surprise cake at the hotel up on arrival and skip restaurant cakes just to avoid having to cart the leftovers back to the hotel
E) Order cake for one meal or hotel and then cupcakes for the rest (never had the cupcakes are they actually good?)
Any other options I'm missing? I have to say the poster who had a cake just about every day on her trip earlier this year made me crazy jealous. I did just turn 40 so it's a big one and I've had a really crappy year so this trip is very much needed. My hesitancy with cake every day is maybe missing out on some good desserts, the first day is still food and wine, and I don't want to remove the chance of any special pixie dust for my son. And yes it would be a little wasteful. But the up side is he'll have a special dessert each meal when he's often limited to just ice cream because of his allergies.
Sorry I just need to bounce this off my fellow Disney cake people. My husband doesn't want to hear anything about this trip at all and no one else gets it, lol.
TIA!
