Right, and that is why I think the original post is misleading. The only place folks seem to really suggest that the cupcake option may backfire is BOG, and honestly, we are discussing it here because it came up, but not because folks seem to complain about it. At least not enough for anyone to consider that we are bullies.
BOG breakfast is advertised as a fixed price meal, and I have often wondered why Disney has not enforced it. It really makes no difference to me, we usually get our breakfast there and it holds us til lunchtime. I have never noticed that this restaurant is overflowing with guests who are just drinking coffee, so I imagine there is room for all of us. The only thing that may make a difference in my opinion, and that will not happen while I use a CS credit on the meal, is that if enough people are stretching that tray of pastries, and helping themselves to beverages they have not paid for while they split their entree, the cost will continue to increase to cover that cost. If I paid full price OOP I might have a different opinion.
It has always been my opinion that if Disney allows something, then even if we have an opinion about the practice, it is not okay to tell folks they cannot do it. I always disliked ADR hoarding, and was pretty opinionated about it, but until Disney put their plan in place to reduce it, It was nto my business. Same with the dining sites. I was always too cheap to pay, but until Disney stopped the practice It was not my place to tell anyone what was right or wrong.
Time will tell what Disney will do to make more money from BOG, but until then....
