Breakfast at BOG - $24 for a grilled cheese sandwich?!

[MammaMoe48]

Even with the coffee and fruit, it seems a bit steep to me. Maybe I'm missing something, can someone explain why it's so expensive? Thanks.

It gets you in the park early and it's a QS. Some people just order coffee and that's it. You will be among the first in line for 7DMT if you plan right. It's an unbelievably themed restaraunt. It's one of the most expensive QS dining credits soon those on the dining plan could view it as a good value.

I didn't know they served grilled cheese for breakfast.

Because they can. People will pay for it.
It is what it is.
There are other, cheaper options

Everything on the breakfast menu is $24 - even a croissant doughnut! Lunch is cheaper although it doesn't get you into the park early, but that's what I booked in order to see the inside of the castle. I will wait until rope drop rather than pay $24 for a doughnut lol because that is about the only thing I see on the menu that I would like.

Way overpriced for what you get in terms of food. They charge it because it's what the market will bear, and the market will bear that because many see it as a way to get early access to 7DMT.

We had an 8 am ADR there on our early June trip, but we ended up cancelling it. We just couldn't pay that price with a straight face.

You do not have to order a full meal. Adults can get a kids meal. The breakfasts do include a fruit cup and a tray of 5 mini assorted breakfast pastries along with the main entree. Self serve coffee, tea, juice, or soda with refill is included in the price.You can share a meal, just order a beverage, or a "Gray Stuff" cupcake. No tips. The castle restaurant is gorgeous, and entry to a nearly empty Main Street, and likely one or two rides on 7DMT before park opening makes it worth it to me. It's counter service so no rules. ENJOY! It's worth it. Arrive at MK by 7:30, enter MK at 7:45. All reservations before 9:00 can get in to BOG at 8:00AM. Preorder to save time in line.

BOG breakfast you pay for hype. It is certainly not food quality or quantity.

Disney's response...

Or, more accurately.....Because people will pay it.

I was joking about the Croque Madame - open face grilled ham sandwich with cheese and fried egg.

OK. Well, we probably won't be riding the 7DMT anyhow (DS is not a fan of roller coasters) but if we did decide to ride it, I'd rather use a FP than pay almost $75 just to get in the park early. We already are able to skip a lot of the princess stuff so while everyone is over at Fantasyland in the morning, we will be doing as much as we can over in Frontierland and Adventureland.

Don't skip 7DMT!!!!!!!

Disney pricing is based on "keep raising it until they quit paying" Since you can't even get a reservation expect this thing to continue to go up.....

It's expensive because there are a lot of people willing to overpay for poor food at Disney.

Don't skip 7DMT!!!!!!!

I will be; I found it to be very very boring.

The OP should try it, though, despite the son who doesn't like roller coasters. Because it's hardly a roller coaster IMO.

Yeah, our family finds 7DMT to be boring and way short. Maybe we expected too much, but with the time spent constructing it, we expected better. Heck, even the theming is ummmm....lacking IMO. Certainly not worth grossly overpaying (even by Disney standards) for mediocre breakfast food.

you don't have to pay $75. order a couple of drinks and you will still be in the park.

Oh, I thought you had to order breakfast like a buffet (I know it's not a buffet, just using that as an example). We're going in August so I'm gonna guess that we couldn't get a table now anyhow. Good to know for the future.

You never know....I just scored a 8:15 a.m. ADR for Sept 7. I had no intentions of having breakfast at BOG, due to the prices, until I read this thread and found out that we don't have to order a full breakfast. We will either order one breakfast and split it with 2 drinks or we will both order off the kid's menu.
