Beak & Barrel-Jammed Booths

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

We were lucky to get seats and be in the main room. The biggest thing I didn’t like was our host told us twice about the 45min time limit and then our server told us again about it - kinda was aggressive too. I know others might not be aware, but was a little too much. We came on a party night too, so we weren’t trying to camp out!

Plus for pre-made drinks they told a good min to come out. I didn’t think there was much going on in the bar. But it was nice to have a drink at MK.

They did this with Oga's (both coasts) for a while until it ebbed in popularity. I'd expect this to be the case too, eventually they won't be as blunt about the 45 min limit, 2 drink limit, etc at some point (I'd expect a few years). They'll probably still do a quick reminder especially for those who are brand new to the place but not like they are in the beginning.

In addition to the server, the friendly reminder came from the host at check in and the person who seats you.

We went to the B&B today. They would not seat our group of 8 at one table but we were sat at a booth. We could have all fit in there (3 adults 5 kids). There were 2 kids with allergies, so maybe that’s why.

Having been to Oga’s and the Haunted Mansion Parlor (Disney Treasure) many times this was just meh. They couldn’t customize drinks which is understandable (same at Oga’s) so we opted for the non alcoholic. This stuff was more disgusting than the space220 cotton candy flavored kids drink. It was lemonade with a cotton candy and pop rock flavor that’s extra sweet but lemonade! I took 2 sips and that was it. Surely no human pirate would drink this.

The ice cream shaped almond cake pop on the Treasure Trove was good but very stale. The little dark chocolate truffle was really good. There were 5 pieces of caramel popcorn some of which were not completely popped (spit them out). The chips and dip were the best thing here. What’s with the lack of creativity.

The show? What show. Some flashing thunder effects and one short quick song by a parrot half the room can barely see. This is a one and done for us.

Why not have Jack Sparrow stop by each table or walk by like the beast at BOG (that’s already lowering expectations from when there were pictures with the beast). Also, the door would open constantly and ruin the whole dark atmosphere (why not have a wall after the door so the bright light doesn’t ruin the experience/photos).

Server was really nice and in character. This could have been so much better.
