Anyone ever get "carry out" from Olivia's?

[TDC Nala]

Heard the same thing about Olivia's...they stopped doing carryout orders after DDP because guests insisted on carrying out Olivia's food for a counter service credit. You can also order from Olivia's menu at the Gurgling Suitcase bar...but you have to eat the food in the bar, you can't take it away with you.

Yes, the carry out stopped once DDP came along. In 2004 (before the DDP), when my DD was just 7 months old, we were able to order off Olivia's menu at Good's and DH brought wonderful meals back to our room for us, because DD was sleeping and we couldn't go out.

2 years later, along came DDP (and we were on it) and on our first night there, after a long car trip, we ate our dinner in Olivia's but DD, then 2, was tired and cranky and wouldn't sit still long enough to have dessert. So I asked if we could just have the dessert boxed up to go. The answer was a very emphatic NO!!! I was told by not 1 but 2 managers that DDP is only for people dining in the restaurant, not for taking their meals out. (I only wanted the desserts, for heaven's sake).

So many nice little perks went away with the coming of DDP.

Last year we were able to take our desserts to go after dinner at Olivias. I really enjoyed it and planned on driving over to get Key Lime Pie to go. We never got around to it. Now I know better than to try,

So this ruined it for everyone.....it was one of those deciding factors that made us sell our OKW points and repurchase AKV/BLT. Lack of food options was a biggie for us at OKW. It's a shame they don't recognize that.
