    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    Typically $35-$45 per cake, is what mine have usually been, but I know the more details you add, the higher the price can go. I usually tell them the theme and then say "Baker's choice," which has always kept my cost closer to the average, but sometimes we get some pixie dust like the big Chip...

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    Thank you! They did such a great job getting it exactly like the movie version (minus a few tiers). And it tasted the best out of all of them I've had - and I've had some good cakes! :D

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    And my birthday cake made by (I believe) Brian at Contemporary in 2017. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I asked for a “minimalist Belle design with a rose somewhere on it” and it was beautiful! Cost was around $135.

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    I just backtracked through the thread and noticed that my previous pictures aren’t showing up anymore. Here are the highlights in one place: October 2016 - Yacht Club made it for a fireworks cruise that Hurricane Matthew cancelled, but Disney Magic delivered it to Bay Lake Tower and salvaged...

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    These mini cakes were delivered to Garden Grill and feature my favorite characters! Chip was my cake and inside was vanilla and vanilla filling, although the icing was chocolate, since we didn’t want dyed brown icing. Dale was my friends and I believe she chose chocolate cake. They were...

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    I am planning my next vacation (and cake) and it occurred to me that I don’t think I ever posted my two most recent. This was done by the Grand Floridian on a Girls Trip with my best friend. It was our celebration for our last night (although so many people stopped by the table to wish me Happy...

    Souvenir Cup Question

    Universal souvenir cup: what are the current stipulations for this cup, especially since the pandemic? Do you pay to reactivate it each day? Is it 99 cent refills?

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    I forgot to post our most recent mini cake. This was delivered to The Yachtsman. If anyone remembers my previous cakes, they know I prefer a minimalist look (I had a Belle birthday cake I posted last year - on page 10 of this thread - that is the best example of what I love). However, I wasn’t...

    5 Night Cruise - What to Expect?

    Thank you! Those were the two things I really wanted to plan for (but didn't want to pack extra if they were guaranteed to not happen). I didn't even think of the blog, thank you! This is only our second cruise and my husband handled the booking (even though I'm generally the planner), so I'm...

    Difference between Park guest services and Cruise...

    I agree and took full responsibility for it - but I was also crushed that if we'd finished earlier at lunch (we were eating at Triton's and had mentioned to the waiter - not our usual waiter - that we had to get to our meet and greet by a certain time), we would've made it. Regardless, we...

    5 Night Cruise - What to Expect?

    I've been researching our cruise next week - I have to go buy clothes later in the week and can't find any guidelines for it. Everything listed is the 3-4 night cruises or the 7+ nights. Will there be a Pirate night? Deck party? Formal night? I have no idea what to take with me for me and my kids!

    Difference between Park guest services and Cruise...

    I found the exact opposite to be true. The parks have always gone above and beyond and created absolute magic for us! I've only had one instance where I had to go to guest services on our past cruise - we were 5 minutes late to get to our Olaf meet and greet and they wouldn't let us in. I went...

    Disney With No Kids - Suggestions?

    Great suggestions, everyone! I'm always open to more! Food and Wine is the primary reason we chose this time of year - we're almost always there during F&W, but can't really relax and sample the things we want with the kids with us. We're also planning on the Christmas Party - I've always wanted...

    Disney With No Kids - Suggestions?

    I have two trips coming up - one in November with my husband and some of our best friends. One in February, with just my best friend (girls trip! Woohoo!). I have several things listed that I want to try, but I want some fresh takes on it. So what would you do on these types of vacations? Keys...

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    I had the same problem - I wanted my birthday dinner at CRT a few weeks ago, but the new cake rules went into effect the month before, so I spent the day (and night) at MK, but we walked over to the Contemporary and had dinner at Chef Mickey's. Not my favorite dinner buffet (I love going there...

    3rd week Oct?

    Our Fall Break is always the first two weeks of the month - we go to Disney then and it is always packed. As a result, I would love if it was the third week of October! I think that's a great time to go - you're avoiding most of the Fall Breaks, but you're also not there over Halloween, when it...

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    I agree - it's not top of my list, but it was a wonderful combination! My friend who went with me has a very strict diet to adhere to and she finished every bite. We thought it was fantastic!

    Princesses go to Disney! A Mother/Daughter Trip UPDATED Day 2!

    I love when names have such special meanings! The Lapu Lapu was so good! Definitely recommended - I don't drink alcohol often, but this was so good, I would get it again.

    WISHES IS GONE (leaving in May)

    I'm glad Disney is always growing and changing - that was Walt's vision, after all - but I wish they'd announce this more than a couple of months in advance. I just got home on Monday and never once have I seen Wishes in front of the castle. If I'd known it was the last time I'd see it in...
