Just ordering coffee at Be Our Guest Breakfast?

[nolawave]

Is it ok to only order coffee at Be Our Guest for breakfast or does every person in your party have to order an entree? Thanks!

It's QS, so order as much or as little as you like just as you would at any other QS. Enjoy!

Its not a normal ala carte type quick service --it is a "package menu" which I think will require each reservation to pay the full price.

You should be able to order just coffee. They have the system for you to input your order in.

Its probably frowned upon though, unless you're going with someone else, due to taking up a table with "just" coffee.

So far you can just order coffee. Last year we ordered 3 adult meals for 2 adults and 3 kids, and shared the pastries.

I won’t be surprised if they change it at some point though.

Nope. It's been this way from the very beginning. We all just knew they would require everyone to order, but they didn't and never have. You don't even have to order coffee. You could just go in and buy a Mickey straw if you want to.

And nope to this one as well. They really don't care. In fact, if you don't order breakfast and just get coffee, their job is much easier since coffee is self-serve.

Nope, so since the morning BOG opened for breakfast guests have been able to order whatever they wanted, as much or as little. The fixed cost looked like it was an requirement right up to the first day, and then BOG allowed folks to treat it like any other counter service restaurant.

Not frowned on at all. In fact while all of us were contemplating BOG tightening up the requirements, the restaurant added cupcakes to the breakfast menu so guests were able to have a cupcake and coffee for breakfast. This is a CS restaurant for breakfast and lunch, and has been running like one. Anyone who wants a cup of coffee and who has an ADR can enjoy it without guilt.

No one cares. We didn’t order anything. Unashamed to get the reservation just for early access to seven dwarves mine train.

Isn't breakfast a table service? Did you just say no thank you when the waitress came over to take your order? Or did you make the reservation, but not show up?

No. Breakfast is counter service. We checked in, walked inside. Saw the rose and walked out. No one batted an eye.

Thanks for clarifying! I was under the impression that BOG breakfast was table service.

ETA: WOW-I just looked up the menu on the WDW website-those prices are insane for table service breakfast! $28 for an egg sandwich??

Seriously? $28 ??? I didnt pay attention because I was on the dining plan, but there are many other places I would choose if I were paying $28 OOP. My meal was very cafeteria like and not even good (Quiche).





My daughter got a box of fruitloops (she was 11, so paid an adult dining credit)



And my husband got ??? It was room temp at best.






I would MUCH rather go to these places......

So by checking in and then not actually ordering anything you avoid the $10 penalty for booking and then not actually going for the breakfast

OMG according to the website, that bowl of fruit loops was $15! I wonder how many people actually pay out of pocket for breakfast here??

 

[starry_solo]

I've paid OOP for breakfast there. It's not bad. I think I got the kids meal (forgot what though) but it came with chocolate milk. Lol.

No judgment, but I bet it is only a matter of time before enough people do this in order to get into the park early (or just to see the inside of the castle) and Disney changes the rules just like they changed them for dinner.

If they do they do. I rather doubt this will happen because rather than enforcing everyone to order the fixed cost entrée. BOG added the cupcake option. This additional does not look like a restaurant that wants to raise revenues by having a fixed cost entrance fee.

The difference between dinner and breakfast is The Beast.

I have gotten just coffee multiple times.

There were tons of people eating and i didn't see anyone who appeared to be doing what we were doing so i doubt it's a big time thing... it was just something that happened to work for us because we had a breakfast meal plan at shades of green and i wanted to maximize our fast passes by getting on seven dwarves mine train early without needing to scamper. It worked perfectly. We were on the second train of the morning on monday and Thursday we were 10th in line for peter pan.

Well now the secret's out. Genius!
