2020 BoG- moved from 2020 dxdp thrread

What if you have really hungry kids and they want two meals each? You can’t pay for both using credits?

I suspect the issue is when they see that you are ordering only kids meals and no adult meals and you have adults in the group. While not a prix fixe, the menu does say that the kids menu is for children 3-9. They don’t *have* to enforce it, but BoG has always been one to go very much by the book. Back in that very brief period of time when they were allowing certain substitutions (swap a side for the drink), BoG stopped allowing it much sooner than other places. I do wonder if they are more easy going if you order adult and kids meals.

It shouldn't matter. It's a counter service place, not table service and not prix fix... we've had numerous occassions where not everyone in our party ordered a meal, so it should make no difference. Again by Disney's own policy you are allowed to use your credits however you wish, as long as you have them. All counter service places have the ages for kids meals, but just as you said there's no way for them nor should they be monitoring who's eating what. If I paid for 8 kid CS meals; Disney says I can use them all in one sitting if I like...or none at all. Yes, agree that BOG in general has always been more of a pain than other counter service places, but if they're wrong, they're wrong and it's shameful that they take advantage of ppl. in that way....especially considering how much the dining plan costs for goodness sakes. Not thst it should make a difference, but come on you're making a huge amount of money on it; absolutely no need to try to take advantage of your customers.

Why not just order them separately?

You def. could...would be easiest with more than 1 adult (wouldn't be able to preorder more than 1,) and it would be a bit of a hassle but you definitely could...Again though you shouldn't have to. If what others are reporting is true, what BOG is doing is wrong.

I don't know of any counter service at Disney where I have not been able to order a kids meal if I wanted to. There must be a lot of adults doing this at BOG for breakfast and I think I have even done it with lunch. They must not have been making the numbers with breakfast as a result of this and they are now trying to compensate. Can you buy four kids meals with cash? I bet this will lead to a fix price menu at some point in the future.

It seems like there haven't been any issues when using cash...however it's a pretty pricey CS place.

Ya, I would never eat there for breakfast. But we have done lunch many times.

It has never nor is it now prix fix at BOG breakfast or lunch. It is a regular counter service except that you can make reservations and order ahead of time. Not everyone has to order something just because they're with others who are etc....just like any other counter service place. You can order 1 meal to split between you 2 if you'd like. They're not "going back" to anything...they never have been a table service restaurant at breakfast or lunch, nor a character meal in which each person must pay to just enter etc. It is a regular counter service place at breakfast and lunch. What they do in the future may change, but whoever led you to believe it was ever anything other than a counter service location for breakfast/lunch was wrong.

Thanks! It was in another post on here and in a review on another site. Do they still bring shared pastries? I guess I just wondered if their concern might be people ordering less than they plan to eat and just eating the pastries, trying to take advantage of the system that way? I had been told on the other thread that we could not do that at breakfast for BOG because it was a per person pre fix. I am glad to hear that is incorrect.

Wow, I'm shocked there weren't tons of ppl on the other thread correcting the insane inaccurate info. they gave you. Yes, they have always and still currently bring shared pastries to each table and no not everyone needs to order a meal or anything for that matter. Yes, they may change to a prix fix meal in the future, but it is just a regular counter service in terms of ordering/eating etc.

Thanks so much, I do appreciate the clarification! I might have misread or missed the corrections too...I will go back and check. Just getting my feet under me on the format of this board! Thanks!

Yes, currently at BOG, you should feel free to order as much or as little as you like just as you would at any other QS. At breakfast the pastries come to the table as long as 1 person has ordered something.

Hmmm.... I think one person has to order one of the entrees for the pastries to come to the table. If you just order a cupcake or a cup of coffee, the pastries would not be forthcoming.

Yes, I believe you're correct. I should have been more clear. If I remember correctly; I believe it lists the pastries when ordering the entrees, so they probably wouldn't come with a cupcake for example.

I’ve reread the dining plan material. Nowhere does it say an adult can use a qs credit. It clearly says 3-9 must order from child’s menu

if BoG says a child must order the child meal when using credits then why is that an issue?

its not, unless you are trying to game the system. (I am not casting aspersions, the you here is the universal you)

adults use adult credits, children use child credits. Its not like anyone rounded up r children to use the child credits. If management says child credit can only be used by a child, then that is their position

be interesting to see how this plays out
