Maybe the restaurant has had too many customers claim they had a birthday in the group, just to get a free dessert. I have heard families doing this and the kids asking “Who’s birthday is it today” lol
Or maybe, and I know this will come to a shock to some people, not everything on social media is factual…I know, I know crazy right?!? Plus, it is by J E S S and we all know how accurate those stories can be haha
I work for Disney for a year and they threw away a thousand of desserts every day to the garbage no one even touched at all . How sad its for being Disney not have something to offer to the customer 😢 very sad
Those cheap bastards. I will make sure I don’t eat there when I go to Disney. Also all of these scenarios well maybe this maybe that 🛑
Things are so expensive at Disney this restaurant needs a clear policy to make the customer come back. Something ( meaning small gift card or desert could have been issued ) shame on this place
Why? If the customer didn’t order a dessert, and the restaurant doesn’t offer a free bday dessert, why are they going to be ashame? Most restaurant do not give desserts out for free. You have order for yourself, bring your own cake, or already be a member of their rewards program and they send you a coupon for a discount ahead of time. The customer should be ashamed for assuming the restaurant was going to provide something for free.
Every restaurant I have ever been gave you a single dessert for your birthday. Is the restaurant is poor just say so. At $160+ we know who the poor ones are
If you don’t order dessert, you shouldn’t expect one! They probably asked what he wanted, he said nothing (I guess hoping for something for free) and they honored his desire for no dessert. Maybe they would have allowed a freebie, maybe not, but you really shouldn’t expect something for nothing.
Feels like a scene from Hook. Hopefully, they just didn’t want a dessert, so they gave them a candle instead of just leaving them alone… or the dessert came out seperate as a funny prank.
Is that candle on a plate absolutely true or your way of getting likes? Second, are they obligated to give you something free for your birthday or because you shared you spent $168 bucks? Maybe their free birthday surprises only come when you spend $169 bucks.
It’s not until recent with the apps and the loyalty clubs that I’ve seen a birthday dessert or other item offered. But it is offered ahead of time I don’t think it should be assumed.
A few restaurants have traditionally been known for having something for your birthday and have always required an ID but again, it’s advertised.
Disney Springs is also what would you call it? A promenade? It’s a waterfront walkway with restaurants and shops, it’s
I think maybe all the commenters and all the people might be too old? I don’t know about anybody else, but I see a delicious looking slice of sheet cake with strawberry drizzle and strawberries, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Maybe once you stop being able to dream and imagine you can’t see it anymore?
I’m a local and went there for a cousin’s birthday 2 months ago. They brought a dessert out for him. It was a type of flan and he said it was delicious. Some others in our group got desserts that they paid for but his was free. Something seems off with this story.
It’s not a universal theme park adventure ok sponge bob squarepants!!! It a disney sexcapade…. Even if it’s your b-day nothing for free a**,cash or nothing for you my friend.. lmfao lol
All of these people complaining about how they should have gotten a free dessert (just because they spent $168 🙄) nobody is entitled to anything just because they spent money. And just because it’s someone’s birthday (or says that it is) doesn’t mean that they have to give them something for free.
And in all reality this single candle on a plate even though you people think that it’s a bad thing is going to be more memorable than any dessert would be
Disney World isnt going to come out of their pocket for your cake. If you dont plan ahead and take a cake earlier in the day…theyre not going go bake a cake either. Some restaurants will provide a slice of cake or something of the kind…but not Disney. The whole place is a celebration, so to speak. Its “The happiest(gayest) place on earth.”..and I use go work their in my early 20s.
Disney theme parks have lost their minds in the last couple decades. 50 dollar burgers, 30 cocktail, it’s madness. All the profits and they can’t ratio inaybe 100 small cupcakes per day? That’s like 2 boxes of cake for customer appreciation sentiment. It’s the capitalist saying to squeeze every cent out everything. America will be bankrupt by 2030. Our economic structures need to change.
When I go to a restaurant for a bday, we take our own cake or we order a dessert. Rarely does resturant offer a free dessert just becauseyou tell them its your bday, unless you have been a member of their rewards program and they send you a coupon for something free or discounted. So if this customer didn’t order a dessert for the bday but told the staff to sing him happy bday, why would they bring out a free dessert when that isnt their policy? Never assume anything like this. so weird that they assume a restaurant was going to provide something for free.
Comments for Disney World Restaurant Celebrates Guest’s Birthday With a Candle on an Empty Plate
Lovetoshell
Exactly what I assumed- dietary restrictions. Absolutely ridiculous!
Joe
It said there was “no” dietary restrictions…
Claire
Top many people claiming it was their birthday and it isn’t. Restaurants are tired of being ripped off.
Angel

I’m sorry but just putting a candle on a plate with no ice cream or a cake is a joke . I am totally not impressed.

O lord, you are one of those “special” people aren’t you…

Very unprofessional, and embarrassing for the restaurant. The restaurant should be ashamed how they handled a birthday celebration.

The poor guy’s family refused to spring for a dessert for them to put the candle in? That is sad.

Lots of foolish people here assuming that any of this is true.
dan
Ya and they probably all have purple hair and don’t shower.
krev

They probably thought they were funny. I bet they got a big laugh from the tip!

Tons of place have always done a free desert or something for birthdays. Way before apps even existed.
Lo
I’ve worked for major brands in hospitality, I don’t buy this post.

My Opinion Matters
Doesn’t everyone know social etiquette? When you go to a restaurant you must bring your own food.

Ann
You are very correct but I think at this point they shouldn’t have brought out anything. This is just an insult.
Brandon
I don’t think we are getting the whole story…

What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me…?
Nah…but this she,I will always remember

You need to purchase the dessert to put the candle in. This restaurant is not owned by Disney!

Too cheap to pay for dessert. I hope they charged him for the candle.
