Pre-Ordered BOG Breakfast - Hard Poached Egg?

[twocat]

I've put in an order for the breakfast sandwich at BOG but there was no place to put in a special request. I cannot eat a runny egg. The thought of it just makes me squirm

Can I put this request in when I get to the front of the pre-order line? Or should I hope for the best?

If it is not on the menu I don't believe you can get it. The BOG breakfast is not a TS meal, but rather a QS breakfast

I've had that dish twice recently. It was not soft at all. Actually it wasn't even warm. It's pretty good - would be much better if it was warmer.

1) Yep.
2) They are made in batches.
3) They are not made to order.
4) People expect BoG to be special, and it is not.
5) It is more unresponsive to special requests than almost any other WDW eatery.
6) This is a test/trial for WDW, to see if they can save labor & food prices by cutting down special requests.
7) It costs a lot of time and money to cater to peoples preferences.
8) And, WDW has allowed the practice to get WAY out of hand.

I recently had breakfast at BOG. While I did not order the meal with the poached egg, I was unable to make any kind of special request for my meal. One drink was included in the price, and I was told that I could not order a second drink and pay for it a la carte. The food was definitely not worth the price.

When we had the poached egg over spring break it was not runny at all.

Mine too but delicious (the mix with brie and bacon and aragula on grilled baguette miam!)

If you are really picky about your eggs, I suggest you order something else. They have many options for people with food allergies but stating a preference for how you like your eggs cooked was not something they accommodated. That being said, if you like a typically cooked poached egg, you will be fine. If you don't like poached eggs, order something different or be prepared to remove the egg from the sandwich.

As for drinks, they really don't police the sodas/hot beverages. If you want a juice plus coffee/tea/soda, it seems like you can order the juice and still get the other beverages. Not condoning, just reporting what I saw.

1) BoG is an experiment by WDW to see if they can start reducing the quantity of Special Requests (other than allergies) and substitutions.
2) Eateries at WDW are getting overwhelmed with Special Requests by guests with picky appetites and/or tastes.
3) This increases manpower costs and kitchen prep time - it clogs the system.
4) With fewer allowed modifications, the food comes out quicker and with less manpower in the kitchen staff.
5) If you have noticed, the allowed substitutions, especially of side dishes, are also very limited.
6) So, far things are working pretty well, according to chef-cooks whom I know that work there.
7) Look for these type of changes to be made at other WDW eateries.

NOTE: We have major interest in two eateries a) breakfast and lunch Blue-Plate-Special type of diner and b) a fine-dining dinner-only eatery. IN both locations, we have allowed the chefs to significantly limit the number of special requests and substitutions. Costs are down, profit is up, and food delivery times have been reduced.

I get that they want to reduce costs and special requests drive up costs but I was disappointed to see you couldn't even do something simple like remove the cheese from the bacon and egg sandwich without clicking the milk allergy button. I get that preparing the eggs a different way is probably more time intensive but removing the cheese is something you can do at McDonalds on a $2 egg mcmuffin! For a $20 breakfast sandwich, I would expect them to be at least a little accommodating. Anyway, I was never very crazy about the BOG breakfast menu to begin with and was able to snag a lunch (they seem to be more accommodating at lunch, maybe because it's not a test?) so we will be doing that instead.
