Pre-ordering BoG (from Quick Service Alcohol Selections)

Can you get an alcoholic beverage with a quick service entitlement if you order ahead of time at Be Our Guest for lunch?

If by "order ahead" you mean mobile order, then yes, you can. You may be asked to show I.D. when you pick up your order.

Yes, I have done this many times - ordering the Cabernet Sauvignon with the braised pork dish. Delicious and a great bargain on the QS dining plan!!!

Perfect!! Do you know if there's any issue in ordering the alcoholic drink and a second soft drink? I wouldn't be using the meal plan for the soft drink, just the alcoholic drink. Is that an issue when checking out?

I have never done that personally. BUT, when you check in even with a Pre-Order you still speak to the cashier. They always ask if there are any changes or add ons so you can always do it then. Just clarify you are paying for the 2nd drink out of pocket.

You are only supposed to use one method of payment when pre-ordering.

Right - but when you speak to the cashier you can do a separate out of pocket add on. I have never done it, but I've seen many people do it.

And that's what makes the pre-order line back up. For the pre-order line to stay quick people are supposed to only use one form of payment, as specified when you enter the order.

Of all the things that people do at the Parks that get under my skin . . . that would be one of the least. But that's just me - you obviously feel differently. I have never had more than one person in front of me in the pre-order line. As for the question posed by the previous poster, apparently you should use your own judgment. Can it be done - absolutely. Do some people feel you shouldn't do it - absolutely.

Unless things have changed recently, when you do the pre-order, it won't list the alcoholic drinks as one of your options, but order it anyway and they will fix it when you get to the restaurant.

Not trying to be a Nellie-Know-It-All, but I thought I had pre-ordered alcohol before. In order to not make a fool of myself on the Boards, I made a reservation for next week and then did the pre-order. It does show the alcohol as options now. Not sure when that went into effect, but I swore I did it like this in December of 2018.

Now to go and cancel that reservation before I get charged $10. bucks.

Aren't snacks a separate transaction anyway? Like if you order a dessert from what I've read it's another transaction from the original meal. Pretty sure the people who back up the line are the ones that are changing their entire order when they get to the cashier, not those who are paying for a drink separately. But if it is an issue, I'll just have them take it off the order once I cash out. The site still shows you getting a non-alcoholic drink so I guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Do you have a dining plan attached to this reservation? The alcoholic drinks are there, but if you say you're using the dining plan, they didn't use to come up as an option for your drink. People with the dining plan were including them in their pre-order anyway as an additional item. But that could have changed.

It's not "some people feel" it the actual Disney rule for pre-ordering. Both times I've pre-ordered at BOG I've had to wait 15+ minutes behind groups who took forever to do something that should take all of one minute.
