Morning everyone. I have a feeling I am going to drive everyone mad with all my questions... and I still have over 12 months until we go.
Anyway, this may sound daft, but its just a thought.
For those that have stayed at the Explorers.. I know that breakfast is buffet style, with cold meats, croissants, toast, cheeses etc. Now, this may sound a bit cheeky.. last time we were at Disney, we would take snacks with us for during the day, and then eat a meal of an evening at one of the restaurants.
So my question is... have any of you ever took a few croissants, or pain au chocolat from breakfast to use as snacks in the park? I am sure I have read a thread on this before, but it was a few years ago. I have been away with people to different places, and known a few to do this (not people at Disney), and was just curious as to whether this was something some people did?
In the Disney hotels I have seen some people come prepared with Tupperware and plastic bottles creating a sandwich conveyor belt at their table. More often than not it is ignored by the staff. I have also seen people being asked to empty out their plastic bags into bins by staff so it is luck of the draw. In the partner hotels the dining areas are smaller and quieter so it isn't really done as you have a high chance of being caught, there are also signs on the tables and walls saying that removing food is not permitted. It's a bit cheeky really to expect that your B&B rate also includes your snacks and/or lunch, although nobody is going to mind a sleepy child taking an apple or croissant for later on if they are too tired to eat early. A cool box is a no no! :-[
Thanks for responding.
We were away last year with some people in a Holiday Inn, and a few of them would take bread rolls and fruit from breakfast to have later. I had never seen it before, and have bee curious ever since as to whether this is normal practice, or even accepted. And then I started to think... is it me? Am I missing something here lol. :-\
We were in the Explorers a couple of weeks ago. They do have a sign asking people not to take food out, but we took some croissants out with us wrapped in their tiny napkins and no one said anything. Though I wish I had taken a little bag or something, I had croissant crumbs all over my bag!!
