Can you use Snack credits at a TS?

[LATJLP]

For instance, can I get BOG cupcakes on a snack credit? With or without using a TS for an entrée?

Can I get the milkshake as a snack at Whispering Canyon? To go with the skillet?

Others that we can use snack credits to enhance a TS experience?

 

[sharonabe]

No, TS restaurants are not set up to handle snack credits. You can use your snack credit at BoG for lunch to get a cupcake.

2. Can I get the milkshake as a snack at Whispering Canyon? To go with the skillet?

3. Others that we can use snack credits to enhance a TS experience?

1. You can use a snack credit at lunch at BOG for a cupcake. Many do this to get a cupcake for their kids since the kids' lunch does not include a cupcake. For adults it is the dessert entitlement when using a CS credit at lunch. At dinner you cannot use snack credits because it is a TS restaurant.

2. Whispering Canyon Cafe usually allows a milk shake as the beverage when using an adult TS credit. You cannot get the milk shake with a snack credit.

3. You cannot use snack credits at any TS restaurant.

Lunch at BOG is not TS. So you can use snack credits then. You cannot use them at dinner.

Thanks everyone! I am not interested in eating dinner at BOG, but we do want to meet the Beast, so I guess we'll pay OOP for cupcakes and tea.

I think the Beast is only at dinner?

 

[MakiraMarlena]

OP isn't interested in eating the dinner, so they made an ADR at dinnertime to just eat cupcakes and meet the Beast. They won't be able to use snack credits at dinner, so they'll need to pay OOP.

 

[torsie24]

I didn't realise you could go to dinner and just get a cupcake!

 

[MakiraMarlena]

You can go to dinner and order anything you want. last I went I had the mussels appetizer and a beer.

Ah, see here in the UK (or Europe) you can't do that. Definitely not in DLRP. So that's just my Britishness coming through.

Why not? Do restaurants have some sort of minimum spend requirement?

 

[torsie24]

No. No minimum spend.

It's just like an unspoken rule that everyone must order their own meal. You can't share etc.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Really, in Britain there is an unspoken rule that everybody must order an entree? I'll have to remember that one when I go there.

Yeah pretty much. If you didn't order a waiter would probably just stand there and wait until you did! It's fine to skip a starter or dessert but I can't say I've ever known anyone not have a main course at a meal. Some restaurants do state that you aren't allowed to come and sit in unless you order a meal, but it's kind of assumed if you're setting foot in the restaurant then it's becasue you want to eat!

Same as we don't get one main between two of us to share, or take home leftovers, or make changes/substitutions to what's on the menu.

Or get free refills on soda etc. (Free refills are illegal in France.)

All a lot less flexible than you guys.

Buffets are an exception, and you are charged even if you do not eat, but Disney dining reservationists have told me that at places with a menu, you can order whatever you do or don't want! (I was inquiring about just sundaes at Beaches & Cream!)

I have ordered just a cupcake or cream puff at lunch at BOG! You order at a kiosk, like many QS places. No one knows anything about your order except a table runner who brings it, and no one bats an eye....This may be also due to the fact that tips are a moot issue.

As far as the original question goes, BOG and Wolfgang Puck Express are the only table- service-like places where you can use a snack credit: at both places your order is brought to you.

Erm where in the UK do you live?!?! All these things are perfectly fine and acceptable at any restaurant I've ever dined in up and down the UK... and at Disneyland Paris! Sounds like this is more what you deem acceptable than what people in the Uk deem acceptable.

And I have family who work as waiters, one in an upscale restaurant and they often have people coming in just for desserts and drinks. You are paying, you can order anything you want whether £10 or £100!

I don't know about the UK, but here in France (and DLRP is in France) it is unlawful for a restaurant to refuse service based on the order amount, or to set a mandatory order type/amout.
this is detailed in "Le Code de la Consommation".
The only exception being restaurants without a "Carte", e.g. restaurants that work on a single Prix Fixe Menu.

No. No minimum spend.

Not in my experience.
I don't know where you eat, but those restaurants are not playing by the rules.

Same as we don't get one main between two of us to share, or take home leftovers, or make changes/substitutions to what's on the menu.

you don't or you can't ?
I do admit that some restaurants I've been to in Europe do forbid the doggy bag/substitution or share practice, but those go on my "do not eat there again" list.

(Free refills are illegal in France.)

not that simple.
A couple of months ago a ban was set on self serve free refill soda fountains at fast food joints.
"All you can drink" or "boisson à volonté" is still available at many sit down restaurants (strangely enough wine is not restricted but coke is ... I love my country lol)
