BOG PPO and orders

[nymh]

We have 8:40 breakfast reservations at BOG for 9 people. In looking at the menu, there are a few of the nine that don't seem thrilled with the selections. But since we are all hoping to go in pre-park opening, I don't want to cancel for the few that don't seem interested in the menu options. My question is does everyone need to order? If 5 of the 9 preorder can the others just come in (or even wait outside of the restaurant)? I don't want to be charged a $10 per person no show if some don't eat.

Thanks for any info.

Yes, you will all need to preorder. You will review your order when you get there and a CM can help you make any changes that are needed. Also, get there early. You might be seated early if you have all preordered and are there before 8.

Everyone on the reservation gets in and can sit at your table as long as one person orders one thing. Adults can order from the kids menu. You can just order coffee, soft drink, cupcake. Anything. Also, if a few order meals you will get pastry trays to share.

You are not required to preorder, but it will reduce your waiting in line by a lot.
And again....everyone does not need to order something as long as at least one person does order something.

Also.... for PPO ADR’s at BOG...you will get in to the park as early as 7:45. Go straight to BOG. You don’t have to wait for your 8:40 reservation time. You will get right in. Do watch the park hours as the hours can change last minute making your reservation not PPO. Oh....and you won’t be charged the $10 no show fee as long as one person shows up and orders something.

You can order as much or as little as you want.
Everyone can go in and sit down.
You don't HAVE to preorder but its very helpful so you don't waste time once there.

Just an FYI though if you are doing it JUST to have an advantage for attractions I wouldn't.
PPO's can easily turn into RD especially at MK.

This is not true. If ALL want to eat and they want to preorder, THEN ALL need to preorder.

But everyone does NOT have to order at BoG for breakfast. You can order as much or as little as you want. With 9 on the reservation, ALL 9 will be allowed into the restaurant even if the only thing ordered is ONE cup of coffee.

I disagree (with experience) about the ordering part. You can order as much or as little, they dont care. Quite often we’ve ordered just 2-3 meals for 4 ppl to split. Once, we only ordered a kids meal and a cupcake

Also as long as some in your party show to an ADR you are not charged the $10 cancellation fee for any no-shows. You're only charged that if NO ONE shows.
