Yet another half board question

[amandajim36]

we are planning on one day doing the birthday tea party as its my friends 3th when we are there. so im thinking i dunno if we would be wanting a big meal that evening and with 3 small kids with us they wont want to wait and eat later. So im wondering would it be possible to say use half board voucher for a carry out from Annettes diner. We could get kids in bed then send dh to get a carry out.

[A Small World]

Not sure if you could do that or not. We are also doing the tea party but intend having an early lunch at Annettes that day with the voucher and have booked the late tea party

[poppyolivia]

daft question no doubt..but do you have to tell them when you book if you are choosing lunch or tea??? Or can you decide for yourself once you get there?

[A Small World]

No such thing as a daft question on here:dance3:

No you get a voucher per day and can use it at any point in the day

[britchic4]

You can even use 2 vouchers in one day if you so wish.....you'd have to be pretty hungry though!

[amandajim36]

i suppose thats always an option too its 3pm and 4:30 for tea party isnt it

Thanks for the info...has anyone gone 'standard' and thought it was ok...is it too limited?????

[torsie24]

I've been wondering about using half board vouchers for annettes too. Surely the 25Euro price would do 2 meals, but would they let two people eat off one voucher?

I was wondering about this too. Also does anyone know what the face value is for the standard ones?

I think I read on a post earlier is 19 Euro, but please don't hold me to this.:hippie:

[poppyolivia]

the standard ones in £s...are £13 for adults and £6 for kids...I think!!:confused3 Not sure what that is in euros. Thats for 6 places to eat..3 of them being hotels.

Sorry just realised my comment has nothing to do with the question!!hahaha!!

[thelittlemermaid83]

£13 doesnt sound a lot.... I might go half board plus.

That sounds about right, when we used the HBplus we ate from menus that were either 28 or 32 euros

I don't think you would be too limited as you can use it to it's face value off of the bill at all the Disney restaurants. So although it's only meant for 6 restaurants, you don't actually have to use them in any of those 6. I think that's the way it works anyway?

[torsie24]

It's only £4 extra for plus, and you can use it at any of the buffet restaurants (lucky nugget is 30 Euro's without drink and you get on with hb plus voucher) I really do think it's worth the upgrade as they cost £17 each (21 euro) and are worth 25 euro in the park at face value, but obviously can be worth a lot more with the right food choices. Shame you can't use them at annets though.

Eill be trading in there though I recon.

So can you use them anywhere????

And also it says you can use it at santa fe and cheyenne...SF is buffet eh? Not sure about Cheyenne...so can you use it and not pay more for the buffet...or do you pay the outstanding? I think it would be all included but just want to check for sure.

Think i'll stick to nicking the breakfast!!:rotfl: I'm kidding by the way!!:laughing:

Crikey just found a wee hyper smiley!!:hyper: :hyper: I lovin that!!:lmao:

I'm no expert, so if I say anything here that's incorrect I apologise, but from what I understand, the hb vouchers can be used as full payment for a meal in the restaurants it lists. However if you want to eat somewhere that isn't, you can pay partly with the voucher. Eg if you want to have a meal at Walts with a standard voucher, you can use your voucher and they will take 19 Euro's (I think it's 19) off the bill.

This only works on Disney hotels though, not Rainforest Cafe and the other few that aren't Disney.

I've nicked breakfast in the past..lol. A little cheese and ham roll is a great stomach settler after a few non stop goes on space mountain!! Plus i get too excited for EMH to eat enough breakfast, then regret not taking advantage!

If it says it's valid in a buffet place then it includes a buffet and one soft drink. They really are great value in buffet restaurants. :-)

I've heard of loads of people making up rolls at the breakfast table to take into the parks with them. I think they must expect it.

Yeah, definitely, and when I'm paying over £200 a night for a 3* hotel room, I don't get too upset over taking a roll that must cost them less than 1cent.

I wouldn't pack up a lunch or anything, that's a bit wierd, but like I say, I can only eat little bits at a time, and it really helps my post ride nausea to have a bit of bread. I've done too much too soon in EMH before and taken myself out for an hour. :sick:

:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1
:rotfl: I know its not really allowed but i did take 1 or 2 crosiants for Kyra to snack on during the day, never once did i make up a whole pack lunch nor did i see anyone do so. But i know it does happen.

That's what I'd be like too :lmao: I am planning to take a couple of croissants or something out for the kids to snack on during the morning as they're not big eaters and tend to have lots of little snacks rather than 3 square meals. I'm going to feel bad enough doing that though.

I'm really torn as well as to go for half board or not. I really can't decide, keep changing my mind :rotfl: better get a move on though, this time next week we'll be on our way :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

When we were watching the parade last week, there were 2 French women sat next to me on the bench who had 3 children between them, and they produced at least 3 ham rolls per person plus numerous chocolatines and croissants, all wrapped in little napkins from the breakfast - it was never ending!

Classic! That's so funny!

Isn't the parade at like 5? I only take stuff if I know I'll want it in the next hour. Basically what's left on my plate.

[britchic4]

The parade was at 4 in the week, so I don't know if they were just snacking or it was their meal, but the children ate at least 2 rolls and a chocolatine each so it was a big snack. Honestly, the woman's bag was like a bottomless pit! DD (3) was sitting next to me and when she saw the children eating she said (in English obviously) she was hungry, and the woman kindly asked me if she could be allowed to give her a chocolatine - there were tonnes in there!
