My Rant on the Be Our Guest Menu

[AgentC]

By the way, in that link to the BOG page on the Disney site, did anyone else notice something very interesting on a trolley cart in the lower right-hand side of the illustration? Something a tad Remy-like?

I missed that before. If they do , do that, it would be really fun. Remy is our favorite part of Chefs de France.

I think the Be Our Guest menu looks great--the kid's menu too! My son has always been an adventurous eater and used to hate that kid's menus at most restaurant only have the "standard" items--chicken nuggets, hot dogs, burgers, mac & cheese. We usually ended up ordering off the adult menu for him when he was little.

Maybe the kid's menu needs to be tweaked a little to include some of the more typical items, but I hope they don't do away with the fancier options. I'm sure there are plenty of kids out there that will enjoy them too.

The choices are great but seeing the pictures, the portions look really small. I'm hoping they were just for photographic purposes & aren't really that small but I doubt it.
Also today I got a look at the actual menu which shows pricing. If the portion sizes do end up being that small at those prices, Nov will most likely be the one & only time I dine there.

A few posts back I mentioned how I thought the dessert options weren't very impressive compared to the rest of the menu. Well, the pictures make them look amazing but again, they're very small.

But I'll wait until I actually eat there to pass final judgement.

If I paid 30 bucks for a steak that small, I'd need a drink.

When I first saw the picture a while ago I noticed that and then they announced no characters. I guess we'll see when they open.

I agree Beth. It would be nice if they had a good mix for kids who are adventurous and kids who are picky. I realize they can't please everyone but I would think, it would be possible to have a couple of both types of meals.

I thought the pictures of the food looked fantastic thought I was a bit disappointed by the dessert photos. The cupcakes were pretty but small. We have a really great cupcake bakery near my house and I was expecting something a bit more.

I'm a vegetarian, along with DS 10 and DD 4 - both my children eat extremely well because, quite frankly, they've not been given a choice otherwise. One of the problems we've always had at WDW is finding good quality food on the kids menu (read: veggies) for DS (who has been considerably more than his sister considering he was an only child for 5 years). I am excited about the kids menu (zucchini is a real family fav) and hope to see changes like this coming across the board.

Of course I'm the same mom who had both her kids fighting (for real) over the last carrot stick at the food court last year, while three bags of cookies sat unopened on the same table!

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there will be wine (and other adult beverages) served here. This will be the one and only place in MK.

I totally agree and I'm glad parents will have a better lunch and dinner option in WDW.

I think they are referring to the lower right corner that shows Lemiere (spelling) the candlestick with the waiter pushing him in a cart. Which is like Remy at the French restaurant. Somewhat interactive.

Oh, oh! I have just seen the photos of the food on the kids menu at BOG over on the Disney food blog. I am a person who believes children should eat what is placed before them and it sould be something other than chicken nuggets and mac and cheese all the time. That said in those photos this food looks just nasty. I don't know which looks worse the turkey meatloaf or the pulled pork. I know I wouldn't want to eat it and wouldn't think a child would want to either. Sad.

Just checked out the blog. I sadly have to agree with you. Those pictures do not look appetizing to me either. I noticed that the pulled pork had what looks like a mushroom gravy. My kids would absoutely hate this. They are also die-hard pure applesauce lovers, no-mixed flavours. We do use whole wheat, whole grain bread but not multigrain as in the sandwich. They do not like "bits" in their mouths.

Maybe the meals look better in person. Maybe....
