No more free bread at table service....

2. If pre-meal bread is so important... how come QS doesn't give it to you? When I'm in line waiting to order a turkey leg, they should come around with some bread.

Uh, your post makes no sense.
QS = everything served to you at once. The "Q" stands for quick.
Second, nearly every QS meal has bread/starch. A turkey leg isn't a meal, but I challenge you to find a QS meal that doesn't have any starch. Even entrée salads have tortilla strips or croutons.

As I said earlier, starch is cheap and filling. It expands when mixed with liquid. At first, it actually makes you more hungry; ideally, at the time you are ordering. Later, it makes us feel full and often sleepy.

That's the real reason bread and water are usually free.

Well, that and it is a very ancient custom. Sharing hospitality with guests was considered a sacred duty, in part because the stranger entering your house just might be a deity (or angel) in disguise. Sharing bread and water was a covenant of peace. In many parts of the world, this custom still exists.

Further, the cost of bread is incorporated into the cost of the meal, and well, they are in every meal because starch is cheap and filling. The trifecta of processed foods is starch+fat+sugar/salt.

AC in dining rooms pre set to a higher setting...

Funny, thing, AC is actually another secret of the dining industry. We order more food when we feel cold!

Any day now, Disney's money grubbing will lead to us guests having to cook the food and serve it to cast members!!

They just partnered with Impossible Foods...

"Impossible Foods at Impossible Prices" - That's your slogan right there. Can't miss.

Once you check in, you immediately log into MDE and join a BREAD GROUP. This is Disney’s newest and most ambitious food.

*Note* Bread is limited. Joining a Bread Group does not guarantee a waiter/waitress will serve you bread.

Don’t forget- the bread oven is brand new, nobody has ever built a bread oven this complex so please realize that not every guest who wants bread will be able to get it.

It’s good stuff for those of us who enjoy meat substitutes. I’m happy to pay the price for this product; those who don’t want it don’t have to.

Look out for Rye Fighters, Obi-Naan.

How about an AKL upsell; hunt your own dinner, prep, cook, and eat it!

Fondue, don't give them any ideas.

That they’re providing more plant-based options doesn’t mean that they’re going to take meat off the table.

Vegans are insidious...

I'm never setting foot on property again

You'll have to bring your own food, and pay a "corkage fee" for the privilege to eat it inside Disney property.

If they actually go give guests this level of control, I'm re-opening the Adventurer's Club.

The joke. I think you missed it.

Well, when they were rumored to restrict straws, we said they were grasping at straws.

Now they're restricting bread, so we could say they're grasping at bread.

I don't want to consider any form of grasping at meat...

Man, that made my day.

 

[dieboy]

Did i just read ten pages of people going back and forth about bread, and other misc crap. I guess this is what its come to.

On a side note, I prefer a nice crusty bread, with a soft middle. With some olive oil maybe. Dang it, now i'm hungry. wth.

 

[DisneyCane]

Will they try to sell this cost reducing and revenue increasing policy as a sustainability effort for PR purposes?
