Hello all. I will be travelling to WDW from July 3 to July 17 with my 2 daughters aged 21 & 9. My DD21 will be turning 22 on the 8th and I want to try to make it the best birthday ever. Her favorite park is Animal Kingdom, so we will be spending her birthday there. I have booked Tusker House for breakfast, Yak & Yeti for lunch, and Rainforest Cafe for dinner. I had REALLY wanted to do a birthday cake with dinner, but I've been looking on Rainforest Cafe's website and they don't offer them, just their own "volcano". And carrying a cake around with us until dinner in July is not an option. So does anyone else have any suggestions on how I can make it more special? My oldest has been SUCH an amazingly good kid and helped me SO much with raising her little sister that I really want to go all out for her (while keeping it affordable lol, single mom here!). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
 
There are some third party "shoppers" that deliver Disney gift baskets to your resort. Might be fun to get after a day at Animal Kingdom, and they can be as much or as little (most have $50 minimum) as you want.
There are also Mickey Mouse cakes that can be delivered to your room starting at $35. They deliver to some of the restaurants too, but not Rainforest.

Yak and Yeti also have cakes on the menu if you switched around with Rainforest, although depending on how you are touring that day, it could be a pain.
 
You can bring a cake to RFC. A manager will put it in the cooler for you and you just need to tell your server. I don't think this option would work tha great in your situation. But it is an option.
 


There's a fairly new Birthday MB, I ordered it for DGD's birthday trip coming up here in 2 weeks

There are some great birthday themed shirts on ETSY too, I have one for her too, that we are using to spring the trip on her, along with the MB
Search Disney birthday shirts. Like this

The Volcano at RFC is awesome! I would take that anyway over a birthday cake ;).

I ditto, the birthday pin is a must. Many CMs and guests will wish her a happy birthday.

Which ones do third party shopping?
 
I don't have any good advice. But just wanted to say what a caring, wonderful mom you must be for putting in this much thought! Have a really great time!
Thank you, I truly appreciate that! I do my best :flower1:
