Am I missing something about Be our Guest breakfast?

[AnOtHeRdIsNeYfReAk]

To my knowledge it isn't a character breakfast. And looking at the menu for breakfast, it doesn't seem like its anything special. So would I really be paying $29 +/- tax and gratuity for a basket of pastries and a (seemingly) small meal? Am i looking at the correct prices?

You are looking at the correct prices. People were going in and just ordering something small like a drink to experience the restuarant. So Disney went to a fixed price menu. It really only makes sense if you are on the dining plan. It was a one and done for us, it really felt like a fancy cafeteria and I can't justify the cost.

You dont have to tip though. Its QS.

We did it once pre-park opening just to do it, it was a one and done for us. Most people do it to see the place or for the pre-park.

I'd say its the best quick service breakfast on property in a well themed area. But yeah no characters for breakfast or lunch and its pricey. Being on the dining plan definitely makes it more worthwhile. Also if timed well and not on an EMM day it can get you a good spot in line at 7DMT.

Nothing has changed with breakfast and lunch...you can still order as much or as little as you like. The only thing "fixed price" about the breakfast is that all the entrees cost the same.

Dinner is the only true "fixed price" meal there, where everyone who enters much pay the fixed price.

No tip. It is QS. But it’s not worth the money at all. Cosmic Rays Is better value than this place.

We did breakfast there (on the dining plan) and really liked the food and the pastries. I might feel different if I had to pay out of pocket, but for the use of a dining credit it was really good and the food was tasty. Did something change about the menu for breakfast in the last couple of years, because my breakfast sandwich was more than filling. This was before the menu switched to prix fixe and honestly the food was better at breakfast than it was at dinner.

You are most definitely looking at the correct prices. The only thing special about breakfast is the possibility of a PPO ADR.

Breakfast has ALWAYS been one price for any entree you want to order. They actually added cupcakes to the breakfast menu not long after opening and still allow you to order just that or just a cup of coffee if you want for breakfast or lunch.

They do change up the menu from time-to-time, but I think the sandwich is still there. The only switch to prix fix was at DINNER. Breakfast pricing hasn't changed.

We have gone there twice.The first time ther were three of us.Servers were very good,not much food but they gave us unlimited pastries. I asked for just the chocolate ones they gave me a box to go.The second time there were six of us they gave us one tray of pastries. I had to ask another tray.The servers never came to ask anything when we were leaving I asked for more pastries one waitress said no her supervisor said they we’re changing over to lunch and had no pastries (I think her nose was growing)it was only 10:20.I never saw anyone without a meal.

So I could order off the kid’s menu or DD and I could share an entree? I confess I really just want to see the inside of the castle, but don’t want to pay $50 for breakfast to do so.

The pastries aren't "unlimited". You got lucky with a server the first time. You're supposed to only get the original tray they bring to your table the first time.

Yes you can. It is considered QS so you can order as much or as little as you would like at breakfast at this time.

I've only been once, in 2016 before breakfast prices shot up and we were on QS dining plan anyway. It still wasn't worth it, IMO. The food was 'meh', and the over-hyped atmosphere? I later saw it described on here as looking like they'd decorated the school cafeteria for a Beauty and the Beast themed prom. That's perfect. I mean...it's cute, but it's not THAT cute.

Last time I ate breakfast in Magic Kingdom, my friend and I grabbed breakfast wraps at Main St. Bakery and then went up and sat on a bench out front of the train station overlooking Town Square. We were all by ourselves, munching on our wraps and enjoying the view down Main Street. And then Mary Poppins came up there and hung out with us for a little while! Best breakfast in MK I've had yet.

You are supposed to get pastries with each meal six meals should have been six trays of pastries.

LOL...no. Not how it works at all. You get a tray of pastries for the TABLE. Up to four people at the table gets ONE tray. 5-8 gets two trays.

 

[ClapYourHands]

So what are those pastries, and how many per tray?

Usually a couple of mini muffins, a small croissant, and a couple of small Entenmann's style mini danishes. 5 per tray. They are an enhancement for the table...not per diner.

we’ve never done breakfast here. So would a solo diner get the whole tray for themselves? Or would they be expected to share with other people?

Solo diners get a tray, as long as they order an entree. There have been reports that they get an "abbreviated" tray, but I've seen others say they got a full tray as a solo diner.
