Or post on the website when you make the reservation that this day, there is no lunch menu. Considering all the moving parts they are able to do on the website, this wouldn’t be difficult to implement.
Considering my knowledge and experience with Disney websites, it would absolutely be difficult to implement.
specially one as robust and technically advanced as what Disney has created.
Ummmm. Are we looking at the same website?
Looking right now there are many menus mention thanksgiving menus.
Totally useful for those booking for 6 months from now, right?
That’s the level of technological advancement the Disney site has. They likely did not have those up 6 months ago.
What do you do if you get there and it is fundamentally different?
Me personally? Kick myself for not keeping up to date with this site’s menu info and allears’s as well.
I know that the menus only went up on the Disney site not THAT many years ago, and I know they are often outdated, and I know they have that “menus subject to change” mention, so it’s not something I trust. And given that I’m vegetarian and menus tend to have one *maybe* two items that qualify and that doesn’t mean it’s something I’ll eat, menu changes are vital for me to keep up with. So I keep up with them elsewhere.
That’s what I personally would do; realize I’d let myself get complacent. Oops.
Disney has been moving away from separate lunch and dinner menus and more towards an all-day menu, but HBD is one of the few restaurants that typically has a few additional items at lunch (sliders, Cobb salad) that are at a lower price point
That must have changed from when they first announced the dinner/lunch menu merge. Interesting. HBD was my fave and they got rid of my fave dish and went to dinner menus, and the restaurant went off my radar. Interesting that it sounds like they backed off.
The note about menus being subject to change to me has been for covering themselves when items are out or when they make periodic adjustments to the offerings, not selective removal of lower priced items during the busy times.
That’s what you feel it is for or want it to be for, but obviously it’s not what Disney intends it to be for.
How hard would it have been to say with a sympathetic smile, “I’m sorry that the lunch menu isn’t available today, but we have lots of other options we hope you’ll enjoy”?
Guarantee you there are people who will take that as being cold.
In fact that last part would be taken by me as being useless, since there generally aren’t lots of other options that I can enjoy. There’s usually just the one maybe two.
I envision a single chimp working a 1960’s switch board, smoking cigarettes and trying to keep the website up and running. Thats how much Disney puts into its Apps and pages.
Close. Underpaid 18 year old interns doing the bidding of guys who left
amazon to be in management for more money but without the management experience. (It’s like I know people who work at Disney IT up in Seattle or something...).
If Disney expects us to book dining 6 months in advance, they need to know what they will be serving 6 months in advance.
They don’t. We can “they need to” all we want, but. they. don’t.
Had he not, we wouldn’t have know until getting a table.
And at that point you could have sweetly talked to the server and maybe the chef to see if they could make an exception. And if they couldn’t then you could have explained things and still left.
Then no Disney restaurant ever would be able to make any menu changes whatsoever. Every single day is six months in advance of somebody's meal.
Exactly. Can you imagine the potential list of differences? No one reads the info anyway, so it would just be a list to point to after the fact...
Could it have been caused by the latest romaine lettuce recall?
Another? Man oh man.
