Reservations now open for Bon Voyage breakfast at the Boardwalk

http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/trat...bon-voyage-breakfast-at-disneys-boardwalk.htm

Menu looks pretty good and while not cheap, not crazy for a character meal - especially with the princes not really being very available elsewhere

I agree. I'm intrigued by the breakfast calzone. I like regular calzones but I've never had a breakfast one.

the more I read about this the more I am excited - really feels like it has the potential to have a bit of that feel that Pleasure Island/the Adventurer's Club had (obviously with it's own spin on it)

Not seeing it on the WDW website when I search for Boardwalk restaurants. It's not listed as an option. Not that we'll be there in early April, but still.

Strange. Maybe it's not in the site yet. They say it's available online on the parks blog. Maybe call dining?

Yeah, I guess you would need to call because it's still showing only dinner options even when I search April or May dates.

It was there and then vanished.
Called a few minutes ago and got the "You'll be waiting at least 45 minutes" message.

Oh boy.

Oh boy.

Yeahhhhh I can't stay on the phone for that, I have work to do - if we don't get lucky for June we'll just try again in October.

I hate eggs, so glad there is at least one option I can do. We booked ours up for the Star Wars Half coming up (daughter is nuts for princesses, especially Arial, so this could be a pretty good deal for us).

It's at the Tratorilla (I know I spelled that wrong).

It wasn't listed for a while. I don't know if it's back up yet. They only listed dinner when I checked.

I spoke with a CM this morning that said they pulled the reservation option down for breakfast to make some adjustments. She was not able to make a reservation for me over the phone either. I am looking for April 2-4 knowing it may be difficult because it is the first few days of availability. The CM did encourage me to keep trying via online and phone (although the waits are crazy long!)

 

[a4matte]

I GOT A RESERVATION!!!!
Was hammering the site between my work computer and my cell phone. CONSTANT failed attempts - finally got one to go through and got my confirmation number!

Persistence pays off! I was finally able to get a reservation for April 4th!

It is currently up and you are able to make a reservation (I just made one for our June Trip). However, if you were to read the blurb where it describes the breakfast before checking actual availability it states: "Reservations for April 2, 2017 and beyond will be accepted starting March 1, 2017. Call (407) 939-5277 to check availability and reserve a table."

I'm really happy that they kept some of the more interesting menu items. I was afraid they were going to go with some of the usual, boring breakfast offerings of other character meals.
