What an amazing cake, no wonder David was in awe...I am too!!!

I just love celebrating birthdays at Disney!!!!

Yeah I was really impressed with the cake, and it tasted great too!

That cake is AMAZING! How beautiful.

Yeah we loved the cake, it was delicious too!

The cake is beautiful!
How did you get in contact with Chef Brian? We're staying at BLT and I want to order a cake for my nephews.

Here is his email address:

WDPR-Contemporary.Bakery.Cake.Order@disney.com

He was really wonderful to work with! If you end up ordering the cake, I hope you post lots of pics!

Wow! What an awesome cake! Beautiful! Looks like David had a really great 18th birthday. You're a cool sister!

Thanks! We had a blast on this short trip!

Oh man! I will never forget that cake for as long as I live! Nicole told me stories about how people ordered these very detailed cakes, but unfortunately the beautiful design and appearance didn't quite represent the taste of their cakes. However, when I took that first bite into the cake, I was in heaven. To make it short, as teenage sensation Hannah Montana would say, "I got the best of both worlds!"

Thanks! And I'll definitely post photos of the cake.

Now I have to think of a theme for the cake.

Oh sweet niblets, you're insane We're in the 40s!!

Thanks! And I'll definitely post photos of the cake.

Now I have to think of a theme for the cake.

No prob, glad I could help!! That was my biggest issue too, I was torn between Wall-E, Pirates (because we did the pirates league) and eventually I just told Chef Brian about David and let him at it!

 

[Nicole786]

Okay so it's official! Time is moving at a rapid pace and so David and I decided now was a good a time as any to add the countdown calendar! We started it at 60, and now we are at 46!! Here are some pics! Coming up as the time progresses: A Harry Potter movie marathon, and a Pixar marathon!!

At 30 days, we are going to print out pictures of things we are looking forward to and tape them on our respective doors! I'll have to re-post when we do that

A Week from now we will be in the 30s!!!

I love the idea of a HP marathon and Pixar marathon. Time is going so quickly! We're going next month!

Love the countdown, very cute. I need to make some sort of countdown for us. It's not the same when you don't have a visual countdown.

 

[Native NYer]

I love your countdown calendar.

Number 2 on our countdown, brings back a memory from our Favorite trip!! There were so many great memories from this one, and I can't believe it was 2 years ago. We had such a great time, it was David's first DDP experience, It was a test to see if we could stand each other for that long, and we just had a blast. We still look back on this trip and consider it our favorite. But before the trip could even start, I was harboring a huge secret, and the reveal of that secret is Number 2 on our countdown!

Let's start with our great DIS friends. Specifically, MeMom and BrooklynnsMommy (Jill). They were in on the secret, and they were at Disney right we were, and I asked them for a favor to help with the reveal. Because they are AWESOME and so kind-hearted, I received a care package not long before our trip!

To this day we marvel at the kindness of our Dis-friends!

And now for the reveal: We started this trip like we are starting our next trip: At Universal Studios! We had a great time there, staying at the Hard Rock, but we were itching to get over to Disney! We had a pit stop at Downtown Disney to guest services, and when we got in the car, I laid the surprise on David! If you haven't guessed, the surprise was a stay at AKL! (David thought we were staying at Pop/CSR) The other half of the surprise was that we were staying 4 days longer than he thought! And here's a video of his reaction!

It was a great way to kick off a very memorable trip! It still sticks out in David's mind as a top memory which is why it's number 2! Those who have been around with us for a few TR can probably guess what Number 1 is, but I guess you'll have to wait to find out!!

It was so fun meeting you guys on that trip! Isn't it strange how we can become "friends" with the DIS people, even when we haven't met them in real life!

Love the plans you have so far! The Poly! How luxurious! I thought your brother looked older. He's the same age as MY little brother. We haven't really done anything special for his graduation yet. He graduated with top marks in two of his classes and some other awards too. I'm so proud of him.

HP marathon, nice! I've been on a Disney marathon for a while, renting them all from blockbusters near my house. It's so good to go down that memory lane

I love this hat so much lol. I love wearing it and my WL hat.

 

[MeMom]

We love Animal Kingdom Lodge. We ate at Boma on this past trip, and it was so good!

We love Wilderness Lodge, too.
And the Polynesian.
I don't know if there's a resort we don't love.

I have been surprised with a resort change - Pop to AKL - but nobody has ever surprised me with days added on. That's an awesome surprise, no doubt.

You guys are inching ever closer.

October is still on, right?

 

[Native NYer]

The video is great. Disney surprises are the best surprises!
Your trip is getting close! Don't you just wish you could speed up time?

We were just talking about that the other day! That Dis-meet was really fun! And you're right, its almost as if we just "know" eachother without meeting!

We're getting ready to start that HP marathon soon! Funny how we are all the same age--hope we get to see eachother at Boma, you'll have to try and arrive a bit early for your ADR!

This is true

As of right now, October is still on! I am going for my friends birthday (she has a DVC membership and is paying for my friends and I) from the 14th-17th at SSR.

David, my cousin and I are trying to plan a quick birthday trip for myself that spans somewhere through Oct 7th (Maybe 6th-9th) so we can do MNSSHP and F&W. We'd like to try and stay BC if its financially possible and available but we'll see!

I love all the resorts too! And I remember your AKL surprise! You and David have that in common, but I never realized!

The video is great. Disney surprises are the best surprises!
Your trip is getting close! Don't you just wish you could speed up time?

Oh how I wish I could speed up time!! But its still Banana dancing crazy in our neck of the woods! Monday is a month away!

David and I had a blast last night making our shirts!! We order blank shirts from JiffyShirts--each shirt is just under $3!! We get our transfers from Amy (A diser but I can't link her website on here, PM me if interested!)

Well we've made shirts before and we were prepared! It was a great team effort, and we're proud of how they came out! Can't wait to rock these in the parks!!

The front of my shirts:

The back of the shirts are the same

We're inching closer to our trip, I can't believe on Monday we will be a month away!!

Love the surprise! I can't keep a secret....
