BOG pre-order and paying question

[Disney_Cindy]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched but didn't see anything that seemed to answer. For the BOG pre-order, do I pay at BOG? I keep reading about how you can skip the order line and go straight to the cashier, does this mean I don't have to pay when I place my order? I know with the other places that accept pre-orders you can only pay with a CC that is linked in MDE, but I saw that BOG had a different system so can I pay using a GC, or if there is a cashier scan my MB? Thanks!

Yes, you pay when you get to BoG. It is different than other preorders. You check in at the podium, let them know you preordered, then you'll be directed to a much shorter line where you'll verify your order with a cast member and pay. Just remember that if you preorder, you cannot split payment.

When you pre-order for BOG you will go up the left side of the bridge and to a cashier where they will confirm your order and you can make changes if you need to and pay.
You don't pay ahead of time.
And yes you can pay with CC, GC, or cash.

If you preorder, you still pay at BOG. There are 2 separate lines at the entrance: a longer, slower line for people who did not preorder (ah, the joys of spontaneity), and a shorter, quicker line for those who preordered. You will enter the preorder line and go directly to a kiosk where you can pay for your preordered meal. We've always chosen to pay with magic bands, but I'm sure you can pay with a gift card, too, like at any other restaurant.
