Nothing says top tier service like offering less than Olive Garden.

The theme park is incidental. Got it.
He's got a point. Buying land in GO is like becoming a mortician -- there will always be a market for your services.
An anonymous person on the internet is making unverifiable claims about their socio-economic status, how original.

Have you ever done research into how strong resale has been for GO homes? They're good investments.

You must not be aware of the uproar when Universal cut the themed butter pats? They still provide bread though with unthemed butter
You should go to better places then.

Cutting out bread at TS dining for some one vacationing for 7 days will do nothing-- what about the 358 days they are home eating junk food?
Good point. A peer of mine who died at age 54 from complications of diabetes was so excited that his insulin shots could get his numbers under control then proceeded to eat whatever he wanted as a reward..

I have a brother in law like that--- diabetic, 2 heart attacks and doesn't watch what he eats, is over weight. I feel for my sister-- she has given up and accepted the fact he will die sooner than he should

This could be a problem for DH. When he grew up, his mother served bread at every meal. Even now, if I forget to make biscuits/rolls, he gets out a couple pieces of bread. Like someone here said, a few rolls cost so little. And Disney charges such outragous prices for their meals, no doubt they could at least give some rolls.

One factor I haven't noticed as being mentioned, is that taking away bread may speed up meals.
Meals at WDW are already so rushed. Order an appetizer? Expect to see it 30 seconds after you order. Then you have 20 seconds to eat it before your entree comes out as they try and turn over tables as quickly as humanly possible.
Eating bread slows people down. Guests can address their immediate hunger issues and then linger over the menu a bit longer. Can't have that.
Sometimes I appreciate the efficiency, but most of the time I just want to relax and enjoy my meal without feeling like I'm taking up valuable space.

I haven’t, because I don’t want to live in a theme park. However.....
I am sure they have solid resale value, and if you are paying cash, then maybe they are also good investments.....
However, it’s disingenuous to say you bought a home in Golden Oak as an investment vehicle. You bought it because you, or your wife, or both, love Walt Disney World, a lot, a real lot.
Off topic. No one could care less if one lives in Golden Oak.

It's disingenuous to think you know 'the real reason' why I buy anything I buy.
As others here have already said, GO homes aren't usually primary residences. For most, it's their third or fourth home. If I loved the park life so much, this would be where I spend all of my time. It's not.

Bread and other carbs (like chips) make your blood sugar spike and fills your stomach. More or less, it traditionally means a restaurant can serve smaller portions of more expensive items - like proteins and fresh produce.
That blood sugar spike helps to make you sleepy post meal.
I don't think bread lengthens meals, because people eat it while they are waiting for their food to be delivered. If anything, I'd say it appeases folks, so they don't mind waiting. Think of those Snicker's commercials, about the people who get angry when they are hungry.
But...that blood sugar spike certainly slows people down post-meal! So they end up going back to the hotel for a nap or to sleep for the night.
So...this might actually backfire a little bit. Though there's no shortage of high carb options at WDW.
