Loved the cookie boat!! But also the creme brulee trio and the dessert that came with a treasure chest made out of sugar that had...was it chocolate doubloons? Or maybe little cookies? in it. I saved that treasure chest and it's sitting in my freezer. No clue what I'll do with it but I can't bear to throw it out!
Did you note this allergy in your reservation and mention it at check in, as well as with your server? It is helpful, both for you and for the kitchen, to give as much advance notice as you can when dealing with food allergies at TS locations. Did you ask for a chef to come speak with you about your food options? That was a possibility open to the member of your party with the allergy. If the kitchen knows in advance about the allergy, they can try to make some preparation. If necessary, they can make a dish customized just for the guest with the allergy, but, yes, it will take more time; and you have to be flexible about that. BB has always been very good about accommodating my allergies and sensitivities, but I always note my allergies on the reservation and ask to speak with a chef if necessary to see what work arounds can be done most easily with the menu offerings.
. I guess I just got a little burnt on the high prices, huge crowds, and less offerings.
We've been told the BB meals are pre-prepped as much as possible and just cooked the final little bit before being served for quick turn around. I've had a few really good meals there in the past, I don't mind the pre-prep when done right. If you're traveling with allergies at TS always be ready for it to take an extra half hour for the allergy food since in some cases it has to be prepared from scratch, it's always been like that for the person in our party with allergies.
Do not second guess your decision at all! I regret our decision to go there 2 weeks ago, it was for our daughters birthday. Absolutely quality is down, even more rushed, no starter, no more split plate fee, they just bring you a side plate to diy. Best part was the mickey cake we preordered, but you can do that at any sit down location. That cake is dream worthy!! Lol we have been there so many times in the last nearly 30 years, it doesnt break my heart we wont go again.
I agree that BB isn't fine dining and never tell people that it is. It is the "nicest" TS restaurant in DL that is openly available to all guests (so Club 33 doesn't count here). But "nice" counts for atmosphere just as much as for service and food. And out of consideration for the kitchen, it is always helpful to let them know ahead of time what they'll be dealing with on any given day. So noting allergies, sensitivities, religious issues, etc. on your reservation can really help them out as they plan ahead for that day. No one here has ever said that BB is a bargain, and if you want "fine dining," there are other places to go outside DL (NR, for example). There is no excuse for poor service at any DLR dining location, but it really helps to communicate your needs as clearly as possible in advance whenever you can.
Good. Make sure to compare your BB experience to your other DLR dining experiences so that Disney management knows what your expectations were and how the BB meal affected your overall DLR visit.
