Who goes to WDW to be glutton-free? Gluttony is a time-honored tradition at WDW!

I think it would work like having a reservation at California Grill, you can park are resorts if you have dining reservations, which is another reason to have them on the available for reservations through the Disney app.

I get it. As unrefined swine, most of us in the US don't know good food. That's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is, a chicken salad sandwich is a chicken salad sandwich. A basic style of cookie is still a basic style of cookie. Most of the items on the menu are not high-end food options. I think if you were just going to a counter and ordering a chicken salad sandwich, most people would be pressed to to understand why it's worth $27 even if it's the best damn chicken salad sandwich they've ever had. CBS is trying to justify the prices by giving you that sandwich which, in a different setting, someone might be willing to pay up to $10 for and say the value is now more than 2.5 higher because the place serving it is faux fancy. More to the point, a Coke is a Coke and a Coke at CBS is $7. It's not captive theme park or stadium pricing on that Coke, It's how much they think they can charge you at that restaurant for a fountain drink Coke despite everyone knowing the value of that commodity product outside of special circumstances where people have to accept they're getting ripped off.* Anyway, the quality of the food may be good - it may be great - but what's the going price for a great chicken salad sandwich? That's my point. They have to sell it as an experience at these prices because the food options don't justify it. As has been mentioned, it's like character dining. People don't exactly do that for the food when they decide to do it, either. *Local NHL area sells bottles of coke for $7. They don't pretend they aren't taking advantage of you. They just know your options are pay or go thirsty for three hours. Local NFL stadium actually charges less for their fountain drinks and they've got you trapped, too.

If you have a reservation at a restaurant in the resort complex you can park there, yes.

Are those groups allowed to park at Boardwalk? It seems parking is very strict at those resorts.

In addition to everything you have said, I am not sure how much for a foot traffic type of place OCBS really is. It seems like most of the selling point to it is the decore, the experience. Are there going to be alot of people wandering around Disney springs in 90 degree weather, in shorts and flip flops and just decide, you know what would be good right now... an elegant tea party. While I am sure they will sell cake to anyone, and will take walk ups for such things, I picture there true market group as pre-planned parties and groups, such that foot traffic really isn't all that important.

The location wouldn't matter when the prices for tea and cakes and food is over the haystack! The Boardwalk and Crescent Lake resort area not enough of a destination? It's no different from Seven Seas Lagoon. I'm sure there a many who visit Epcot and never dared to visit this side of WDW just because oh our hotel is not there. The location is no different than The Grand Floridian It's next to a park, sits next to a Deluxe resort, several Deluxe resorts and next door to France. You have an open wedding/event space right next to it. If this thing was in Disney Spring's people would say it doesn't fit there, can't even imagine where the location would be, next door to Summer House..

An American's palette isn't the same as a European's Palette. Disney World is visited by people from all around the world. US visitors will make way to go so to so they have tried the Guideon's Hype. For International visitors it be something else. The Glutton Free visitors will find them at either Summer House or Cake Bake because the other doesn't do Glutten Free. A person who likes European goods isn't into American sweets vice versa it depends who you are. Some are born and live to need flavor, others want just quality exceptional in what they eat.

Your friend just knocked one of the only flavored particular little cake you want to try, it wasn't a $25 slice but one teeny piece off of you're $95 tray. Another one bites the dust!!!

I’m firmly in the under camp at this point. I give it 6 months to a year.

My friend and I compared it to eating lunch at the Ritz in Paris or Plaza in New York. Both grand experiences to be sure, but is the experience alone worth $30 for a plain ham & cheese sandwich, which will also certainly not be the best ham & cheese experience of your life? That said, people do it either for the convenience of eating in their own hotel or for the luxury experience of doing so. This isn't Indiana where CBS stands out as a unique luxury experience for families wanting to celebrate. WDW is the luxury experience for most people - sure there are higher end food options, but, characters aside, it's the food choices, unique themed environments and variety of cuisines that usually sell people, not the perceived level of generic fancy.
