As long as people keep going and spending money.....

Our Walmart sells it in the butter section. Not as good as the honey butter we get at Texas Roadhouse, but it will do in a pinch.

Ah. Good old Walmart. We don't have one nearby so I never go there.

But seriously, just smash together some butter and honey. It's delicious on cornbread and blueberry muffins. I make it all the time.

It's 100% my fault for feeding the DIS trolls the dang rolls. I normally know better, but I was on the 9th day of our trip and feeling a little delirious. Thanking the almighty Disboards for the block feature today.

I have been addicted to this thread since it started. My DH works weekends and too hot to go out, so this has been my entertainment. I am glad you posted!

I’m sorry people were so rude to you. Your post was concise, not at all ranty, polite, on topic, and posted on a Disney message board, in a category labeled “Disney Restaurants”. You did absolutely nothing wrong. If people don’t want to hear about Disney food service they probably shouldn’t be reading a forum called “Disney Restaurants”?

As parent to a maniac 2 year old (if you’ve read the No, David! books, pretty much my kid,) I am: 1. Impressed that you didn’t just give up and let your kid eat food off the floor, since literally half my kid’s food has been on the floor at some point before he eats it and 2. Want to know things like this, because the extent to which a place is truly kid friendly makes a huge difference in where I want to go. (Just got back from a beach rental where we hauled bags of stuff and an often screaming toddler three blocks back and forth to the beach sometimes multiple times a day. Never again. One doesn’t understand the value of having people bring what you need directly to you, be it poolside service or a replacement for the food your child just knocked into your lap, until you’ve been there.) I’m totally cool with letting civilized humans eat in peace and taking my wild thing to the restaurants that are legit meant for littles. But I want to know which restaurants those are. If a place can’t offer a replacement for food that inevitably gets dumped on the floor (even if they offered it to you with an upcharge) that’s not it.

Wow. These stories are ridiculous. I would be furious

These are the new Disney, which in a lot of ways, sucks!

We ate at Sebastian’s last month and one of the first things our server told us after being seated was that it was not all you can eat. I was shocked as I have read so many reviews that said it was. We were a party of 4, got 4 rolls and were never offered a refill of rolls even though we saw other tables getting more rolls. The food was good but I won’t eat here again due to this policy. Every other family style meal we’ve had at Disney has been all you can eat, including Trail’s End, whose price is very comparable to Sebastian’s.

I live in the South. I have never seen or heard of anyone using honey butter. Although I have never thought to look for it specifically either or asked anyone point blank about their consumption of honey butter. Must be a super small regional thing.

I buy honey butter from Wal-Mart to put on cinnamon bagels lol. They also make a cinnamon butter that my teenager likes on rolls.

That's what they did at our brunch last week. I asked for the quiche with a waffle on the side. However, I was NOT prepared for the waterworks tears that streamed when my daughter was finally able to hug Minnie. She was itty bitty when the pandemic began and she has no memory of hugging the characters. She was completely beside herself with excitement and love when she was given permission to hug them.
Side note- Topolino's has a new bread pudding and I can't see it lasting on the menu for very long. It didn't have a sauce and was more like a baked strawberry shortcake. It was different, but not in a good way. We are spoiled with amazing bread puddings in NOLA.

Thanks good to know! We are going there this weekend. I’m excited to bring my baby here again. It was her first character meal and when went there last the restrictions for hugging were still in place.

I'm so confused with this place now. We ate here 4th of July weekend and the server told us if we wanted more of anything, just ask. We got some extra steak and vegetables, no problem. They need to get their story straight.

 

[asumom]

So you can get extra of anything else you want to eat at this family style buffet? Or not?

This is family style, not all you care to eat. And, as far as sit down meals goes, it is a great value. We had more than enough food for 2. Our granddaughter slept through the whole meal so we brought the leftovers back to the room for her, which you can do since it's not all you care to eat but a set meal. Those rolls are the ones they charge $16 for 4 in the bar area and people go there just for them so I can see them limiting them....we never thought to ask for 2nds.

The op is incorrect. This is a family meal but not all you can eat. The price reflects it. We had more than enough food.

 

[asumom]

This is what they served for 2 people. It is really good food.

We've eaten here at least 4-5 times in the last year, every time we were offered refills of anything.

"We must protect our margins on these.... rolls" is just what you want to hear as a server (who is going to bear the brunt of the guest response on this issue and likely see same reflected in your tips on those occasions this comes up).

Interesting as thats not as it is advertised. I was happy with it, had more than enough food and thought it was nice change from all the fried and heavy bbq type foods, ie, healthier.

 

[DLgal]

Why can't they just use some cheaper plain rolls for the dinner and just serve the other ones with the special dips/butters as an upcharge appetizer?

Oh yeah, we rarely asked for much more of anything as what they brought out is always more than plenty, but it was always offered. I agree, we keep going back bc the food is so good and is such a nice change of pace from most other meals around property.

Don't give Disney any ideas. 2 rolls per guest is more then enough. The issue, to many of us, is not replacing the roll dropped by a child.

Or just increase the dinner price and bring out 2 rolls per person to start with. Any additional rolls can be purchased, maybe 4 for 5.00.

Because turning servers into surly lunch ladies limiting bread portions is kind of ridiculous.

Right, but the reason why they wouldn't replace it was explained later in the thread, and it's a cost issue with those rolls, in particular.
