It seems they are giving us another clue also, it talks about the latest "signature dining restaurant and lounge". So, to me, that means a two table service credits on the dining plan. Disappointing.

Good catch. I didn't even process that. And interesting focus on lounge. I think the early reports said it was a pretty small bar ~8 seats maybe? A true lounge would be great.

Yak & Yeti and 50s Prime Time technically have lounges. Are they 2 table service credits? I haven't done the dining plan, but just thought I would throw in hope.

I believe it’s the wording ‘signature dining’ that is leading people to think it may be 2 credits for DDP guests.

My 17 year old son is really looking forward to this restaurant but I can't justify signature prices for a teenager, especially when we could do two meals for that price. I guess we will just wait and see.

If it is indeed two credits on the dining plan it might make it slightly easier to get am adr (she said hopefully)

We’re out if it’s signature too.

Well, unless it is a prefixe thing you could go and like just get appetizers or split an entree or something. Definitely ways to go to experience it but looking to not break the bank

I could see a true lounge being super popular! I mean, I would want to eat there at times too but if I was local I would frequent that lounge!

It was never going to be otherwise I'm afraid.

We would definitely do that. We don't do the dining plan so it's not the two credit thing, it's just the high prices. I'm not that cheap but we find most of the signature places too high and honestly not the feel we are looking for. But of course we have no clue what this place will be like.

Disney. I am begging you. When people start making ADRs for this fine restaurant and ordering the equivalent of a cupcake so they can “experience” it, please institute a minimum per person and please DO NOT convert it to fixed price.

Not everyone dines the exact same way. Not everyone eats desert - especially pre chosen small sample deserts.

When my husband and I dine in a signature restaurant we usually share an appetizer, both get either soup or salad, both get an entree, and sometimes split a desert.

Please leave this for people who want a great dinner experience and do not turn it into a another paid attraction.

I agree - put a minimum per person or an "experience surcharge" or something ... I am fearful they go the prefixe route though

People ordering cupcakes is why we can’t have nice things. Given the wine collection being advertised and the modern american menu, I am hopeful they are targeting an audience that appreciates dining.

 

[PrincessWithABlaster]

Based on the description, they already have.

I would be fine with this. We would never just go in and order something small like a cupcake. I just don't want the fixed price meals. We went to BOG once for breakfast and I never went back. I couldn't imagine the pricing for that place when it felt like a cafeteria.

I’m fine with Signature as long as:
-it’s reflected in the quality of the food
-it’s NOT prix fixe

 

[Lsdolphin]

The Wolfgang puck restaurant/grill on West Side of DS also has “signature dining” noted in its description but is a 1 credit table service so maybe this will be the same...

Exactly!
