Tusker House brunch

[sleepymouse]

If Tusker House breakfast ends at 10:55 and lunch begins at 11:00, will my 10:50 ADR definitely be charged the breakfast price? Will I be able to have a little breakfast choices upon arrival, followed by lunch being put right at 11:00am?

Sorry, I dont know the answer, but that is very strange. Most restaurants have at least 30 minutes between the start of one meal and the next. I looked at the times and it was not an error on your day. Breakfast definitely ends at 10:55, with lunch starting at 11:00am. If I got there and was charged for lunch, I would certainly speak up. I hope someone with experience can answer this properly for you. Good luck!

In our experience last year at 10:40 we were charged breakfast.

As for the food breakfast was out when we went up the first time and then it was moved to the center when the lunch items were brought out. I loved the time slot as we tried both.

I just had 10:30. I was charged for and had breakfast. At around 11, they started changing over to lunch. Some things were the same. Like breakfast had an amazing carved pork. That stayed, but they added a beef.

A little tricky:

1) If you have an ADR prior to 11:00am, you are charged for breakfast.
2) This counts even if you are actually seated past 11:00am.
3) However, if you check-in at or after 11:00am, you will be charged for lunch.
. . . this is actual check-in time, NOT the time you are in line waiting at the podium
. . . and, sometimes the line gets long with other diners trying to pay for breakfast and also get lunch
. . . thus, if you arrive right at 10:55am, you might not be checked-in until after 11:00am
. . . so, make sure you are 15-20 minutes early for your ADR *
4) Basically, if you are seated after 11:00am DUE TO TUSKER, you are charged for breakfast.
5) If you are seated after 11:00am DUE TO YOU, you are charged for lunch.

* If you are waiting in line for a ride or attraction, make sure you have plenty of time to get to the podium. They don't take long-ride-line-waits as an excuse for being late for your ADR. (Although, for very early ADR's, they sometimes take into consideration late or overly crowded buses. If there are LOTS of late people, they call and verify late buses and do not penalize you or put you at the end of the line.)

Thank you RustyScupper! I was able to book a 10:45 ADR so that should give me enough time to check in. If I am late, I have no one to blame but myself and pay the higher price. I was just thinking it could be nice to save approximately $12.

@TheRustyScupper explained it very well! If you really want to enjoy some of the breakfast food I would recommend arriving early for your ADR and see if they seat you early. We had a 10:30 breakfast ressie last year and enjoyed breakfast food the first time up and by the second time (right around 11:00) most of the breakfast foods had been removed except for those that they moved to the centre. If you really want breakfast food I would either arrive a bit early or better yet, see if you can snag a breakfast reservation for about half an hour earlier. If you go in at 10:50 I believe your breakfast options will be quite limited by the time you get to the buffet.

That to me sounds awesome! Pay breakfast price but also get to sample the lunch offerings as well! Win Win situation!
