Hello
We have reservations for dinner at BOG in September....but I am wondering if there is much difference between dinner and lunch, enough that you would think dinner would be a better choice? We are going mostly because the girls want to dine in the Beast's castle...but is it necessary to do dinner? Photo Op with the Beast may make it so . . . I have looked at both menus and neither really appeal to me . . . not a big meat and potatoes type of gal.
My dilema is this....we are scheduled for dinner on a
MNSSHP night at 6:50....so, we can keep our reservation and get shooed out of the park right when we are done eating, or we can purchase the event ticket, but miss a good portion of the event. I am just not sure...the kids would really want to meet all of the special characters, most especially the princes and the dwarfs, but I fear by the time we were done with dinner, the lines for them would be unbearable.....I also think though they are old enough to understand, it would not be much fun to walk through the MK with so much they would want to see around them going in while being shown the exit . . . so if we DO end up keeping the ressie, I think we would likely then purcahse tickets for another night to avoid that heartache.
So what is the lunch really like.....and how bad is the wait for lunch.....the day of our reservation is Sunday Sept 29th, so the crowds at the parks should be manageable, but because it is "free dining" season, I know that the restaurant's will be hopping. Is there any dramatic difference in the atmosphere between lunch and dinner? Even though it is CS, I know that you are seated and the food is brought to you . . . does that make it feel more special? I have searched repeatedly to see if any other nights open up, but now that we are closer than 180 days it is booked solid. Also, of the 5 of us, it is really only my 2 daughters who care a whole lot about eating in the beasts castle . . . so I know for my son and husband, eating there for lunch would be the same as dinner. In fact, they might choose to go somewhere else if given the option, and I could take just the girls....
I am not ready to give up the reservation yet, but what would YOU do?
