Confused about Garden Grill Pricing

[maccagerl]

Hi,

I was looking at the menu for the GG, and it lists the price as $35 - $60. What do you get for $35 vs $60?
Isn't the GG basically a buffet that is served to you?
Thanks!

Buffet pricing can vary depending on the time of year and if you get a special package, that's why Disney lists the range. Check here for the up to date pricing: https://www.disboards.com/threads/buffet-character-shows-aycte-pricing.3108466/

There are also different prices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

[maccagerl]

Yes, I am just talking about the lunch/dinner price range which is listed on the menu as $35-$60, but doesn't explain what the difference is .

Thanks for the interesting link, but it doesn't have the information I'm looking for.

from what I understand the difference in price is based on season of year you visit ie how busy it is. not based on what you get. food is served family style on platters

Thank you, do you know which price corresponds to June? I can't seem to find that information anywhere.

I am only guessing but I would expect the higher price as summer is one of busier times

Yes, that link does. It has all the pricing for all buffet meals.

It's $47.93.

This! The link shows all of the current pricing for each individual Buffet/AYCTE TS restaurant. Since OP isn't looking for a Candlelight Processional or Garden Rocks dining package ($60.71/adult), the price for dinner is $47.93/adult.

It was created in 2013, but it was updated in Feb 2017. It is a sticky at the top of the restaurant forum and kept up to date. You can trust it; it is the most current and reliable place to find prices for all Disney buffet, fixed price meals.

According to Rusty (as posted in the linked thread) Disney has pretty much done away with the holiday/prime time (seasonal) price increases. And he posted a few days ago that he will be updating the price list this week but it didn't sound like there were "across the board" increases. It's probably safe to assume that the prices listed for Garden Grill that were accurate in February are still going to be about the same (within a few dollars) in June. And if there has been/will be an increase, that will probably be noted within the week.

It was updated in February.

I'd wager it's accurate within a dollar or two at the most. Definitely accurate enough for budgeting purposes. If the OP doesn't think that's accurate enough, then they can call the Disney dining line and try to get a better answer. The higher price range is not seasonal, it's for packages such as candlelight processional, etc.

OK, I wasn't reading the chart right, I thought summer season was a different price than the Thanksgiving season.
I'm also confused about the dates listed in the chart you posted above. For example, lunch at the Garden Grill is listed here with dates from Nov 2015 to March 2017 . Can someone explain how to read the chart? I guess I would assume the price for March 2017 would be more accurate than the one for Nov 2016? Thanks for any help.

So they have one price that is good all year?

Also, what does the the b-clight and b-grocks refer to?

B-clight is Breakfast for Candlelight Processional
B-grocks is Breakfast Garden Rocks

 

[sharonabe]

lunch . . . 11/24/2016 Adult: $47.93, Child: $28.76

This means the last time they changed the price for GG was 11/24 and that should still be the price today.

TinkLover and Sharon thanks so much!!! You've been a great help. Now when I look at it , it all makes sense!
