Beak and Barrel Seating Experiences

[HopperFan]

I just wanted to keep mine, didn't even think about getting a 2nd! I for sure should have done that in the Haunted Mansion parlor on the Treasure because those mugs are very unique.

I have a few HM ones from WDW & DL Trader Sam's ~ my kitchen is HM so they sit on top of my cabinets. Yes, you could have EASILY sold them for nice profit since harder to get. DS just sold DL Madame Leota we got last year and he said he made a decent profit.

Just looked Beak's Pirate is selling for $75-100.

Plenty of other places to sit in the park. That's not what Oga's is for.

I'm not sure how you might define what Oga's is for, but I think if you need a reservation, they assign you a "space", and you have a dedicated server – you should get a seat!

If they want to operate like a nightclub/bar, then don't have reservations and allow people to sit/stand where they want and order from the bar.

As Winston Churchill once said, "Why stand when you can sit!"

To be honest I haven’t looked at all the you tube videos- so here is my probably stupid question. If you have a party of 9 where 5 are kids ages 3 to 9, does Beak and Barrel have only high top tables like at Oga’s? That’s always the problem with Oga’s if we are at a table there is no place for kid to sit or they aren’t tall enough see the top of the table and we only got a booth 1 time. Any idea of where a group of 9 with mostly kids would end up at?

Being reported they no longer will accept ADR for parties larger than 8 do to difficulty accommodating.

The is a method to their madness ...

- They want to discourage children for several reasons
- They don't want folks lingering over a single drink
- They want more turnover aka more profits
- They know lots of folks want in, this gives them better odds
- They want to avoid drunk guests going back in to the park at MK

Disney is a different animal, for anything popular you need reservations no matter the style. If they didn't require reservations and folks to leave we'd have some that sit there all day while their party enjoys the parks. These are highly themed bars aka very popular = both reservations and time limits are necessary. The only other option is you have to queue outside just like an attraction and only go in when someone comes out. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I get that the reservations and servers are there to keep people moving and not just parking. We've all seen this before like at Satu'li Canteen. I'm glad they use reservations and I appreciate knowing that I have a set time to arrive and experience any of these locations. I hate that they don't take them at Trader Sam's.

My "hot take" (though I didn't expect it to be one, honestly) is that they should have stools at the bar or around the community tables.
