CS Breakfast

[Marie9LPG]

I know this will be on the site somewhere but hoping someone can help out.
What constitutes a CS breakfast when using the dining plan?

Thanks, Marie

1 entree or combo meal, and one non-alcoholic beverage. No dessert. If you choose to use a credit for breakfast, you are essentially giving up the dessert allotment.

Resort CS, if you prefer, will allow a continental breakfast consisting of one baked good, one piece of fruit, and one non-alcoholic beverage.

Some park CS like Main Street Bakery seem to do their own thing. Not sure they've moved to the 1 baked good, 1 piece of fruit and 1 beverage model.

Cereal plus milk counts as a CS meal. Used to be you could get it as a snack.

In most cases it's just an entree and a drink. Like a PP said, no desserts. Unless it's one of those random places, like Main Street Bakery that seem to have their own set of rules. I think Starring Rolls is the same way.

Personally, unless I have extra CS credits I need to use up, I don't use them for breakfast, I just don't think it's a good value. I usually use my snack credits for breakfast items, like danishes or fruit.

yeah, unless you have counter service credits to "burn", wouldn't use them for breakfast - it's just not a good value. Much less expensive to pay OOP or use snack credits.

For example, hubby's favorite breakfast at resort counter service is biscuits & gravy and a cup of coffee. The coffee is "free" in the refillable resort mug, and the biscuits & gravy is about $3.50. That would be a total waste of a meal credit. Now sometimes they will allow the biscuits & gravy as a snack credit, which is a good deal...but other times they say not-a-snack...so we pay cash at that point.

The only time we have used the counter service credit for breakfast is when we get the "bounty platter" breakfast-which is quite a large breakfast--and we split it. That works, especially on a day when we're also planning to split a large lunch (like the chicken/ribs combo at Cosmic Ray's in MK) Then it works to use up the counter service credits that way.

Thanks for the replies, I' m currently trying to work out if we should book for next year with free DDP( already on release in UK).
We are a family of 2 adults, and two kids 14 & 10 and I know there is no way we would use 4CS credits at lunch daily so we would have some left over for breakfasts. We would probably get a couple of platters to share and could top up if necessary with snack credits.
Thanks again, Marie
