BoG PPO multiple reservations questions

[KalamityJane]

I have cobbled together enough BoG reservations for our group of 10, but they are at 8, 8:20 and 8:45. Park is non-EMH day, opening at 9.

1. Can we all enter at 7:45am?
2. Will the later reservations have issues with ADRs when we check in at 7:45-8am?
3. With the new Welcome Ceremony on the stage, how does this affect BoG and 7DMT?

Thanks!

Generally speaking, for PPO ADR's, once you have the PPO ADR, it's treated much more like first come first serve. You should all be able to enter at the same time and then if you all directly go to check-in, you should all be able to be seated relatively quickly (the 8:45 folks shouldn't have to stand around until 8:45). From reports here, it seems as though the new opening does not effect BOG/7DMT, in that most days BOG customers have still been able to ride 7DMT before the rope drop crowd gets there.

Ok, I may have had a slight heart attack when I looked up prices for entrees at BoG for breakfast. Are we allowed to split and share?

yes

Yes, feel free to share meals. The headcount is more or less for capacity reasons.

Since you are under three separate reservations be sure you check in under each one. Maybe even order one meal under each to be sure you don't get charged the fee for a no show ($10 per person). I'm not sure if you have to just check in to avoid the fee or order at least one meal under each reservation. Someone else may know from prior experience.

and you don't need to even order a meal...a cup of coffee is enough

I think everyone could sit pretty much together or in table to table proximity. And the meals are fairly good sized, so sharing won't leave anyone hungry. Also- every reservation receives a large complimentary platter of pastries. Order coffee, juice etc per person, then one meal per two people and complimentary pastries will arrive at each table and no one will be hungry! It's muffins, danishes, donuts etc. I have celiacs, and even I get a nice tray of gluten free breakfast cakes, that are so good, my husband prefers them to his regular ones!

I'm so glad you mentioned GF options! The kids and I are gluten free, so I'm glad they are tasty! It's hard to find good bread items.

Not only do they have the gf breakfast pastries(the lemon cake is so good) but many items on the menu are gf. I usually get either the Croque Madame, or the open face bacon and poached egg sandwich with Brie and arugula. It comes on gf millet bread and it's AHHHmazing! With sliced tomato and fruit cup on the side. And it's not small! Easily a two person meal.

So glad to hear this! I'd made a reservation for our party of 6 for breakfast but as our vacation is growing closer, I was about to cancel it, as it didn't seem worth it, given the price. (We were only doing it because my kids wanted to see the inside of the Beast's castle and try the grey stuff in some form.) But if we split 3 meals and get the kids a grey stuff cupcake to have afterwards, I feel like we'll end up with a price point that makes sense while still having the experience. Thank you so much for sharing the info!
