How far inadvance for reservations for disney dining?

However, my friends have never been in the BB and would like to see it, so we decided on the dessert meal. But on the day we are doing the dessert meal - which basically means that, in order to not seem cheap, we each have to order one dessert item and there are not many to choose from!

SherryE I've read this in another thread when you were talking about it and it kind of flabbergasts me that you worry about seeming or looking cheap. Especially since you have such a big dining day anyways why don't you share deserts and if you feel like it give a bigger tip. I don't think there is any reason to feel guilty for just getting deserts. Just think that you will be taking table space for a much shorter period of time than if you ordered an entree.

I posted what you are responding to five days ago and forgot all about it! I am not worried about seeming cheap by eating a dessert-only meal at Blue Bayou. We were planning on sharing desserts and leaving a bigger tip (I always tip pretty well anyway), but what I meant was that I don't want to order ONE dessert for three or four people! When we ate at Carnation Cafe last year for a dessert meal, we EACH ordered a dessert and we all shared them, because it seemed only right, rather than ordering ONE dessert to be shared by three people, which, to us, seemeed a little cheap when we were not having anything else to eat. Yes, I too, thought that most places would be glad to get rid of us faster by just serving us dessert, but a couple of other posters on this board said that the BB staff gave them some strange looks for just ordering dessert. Nonetheless, that doesn't bother me - I just don't want to only order one thing for 3-4 people! That was what I meant - nothing to be flabbergasted over! It's all good!

First sorry it was such a late post. My dis board reading has been very spotty because of time contraints and I miss it!

That makes perfect sense the way you layed it out. I am a bit of a cheapskate to tell the truth and was imaging all these deserts being left uneaten because you were to full. lol I have no clue why I just assumed it was a large group. Of course it's also none of my buisness and I wasn't trying to critisize. I was really just kind of curious.

Oh, no worries! I probably didn't make sense in my posts about it! Sometimes I read things on here by other people that don't make sense to me so I am left scratching my head, too!

I wouldn't even normally be scheduling a BB visit this trip because I have been there (decades ago) and don't really need to see it again. My friends want to see it, and we MAY not be able to get back to DLR again this year or even next year, so I squeezed in the dessert meal into our busy eating day so they could see it. Hopefully, because the PS was made for 8:00 p.m., we will have recovered from our late lunch/early dinner and be able to fully enjoy our desserts, but even if we are full, we would still make sure to each order something, because, otherwise, if we got one cookie boat for all of us, BB would only make ten bucks off of a table of three or four people, and that doesn't seem right no matter how good the tip. Besides, I discovered last year at our Carnation Cafe dessert meal, that no matter how full we think we are, when dessert is placed in front of us, somehow we suddenly find room in our tummies to eat it! I guess there is always room for dessert! I just wouldn't want to pay the big bucks for a full meal at BB at 8:00 p.m. because that's just too much to eat, too late in the day.
