The Wall Street answer would be "you're not profitable enough.. only 4 people makes us an acceptable intake of money".On the same lines of adding guests to a reservation, does anyone know if they are allowing parties of less than 4 guests at Be Our Guest now?
I've tried walking up and making reservations for 2 people on three separate occasions in the past and have always been turned down with no explanation until I go to Guest Relations to complain about it. They tell me it's because all of their tables seat 4 or more people and putting only 2 people at a table leaves empty seats that cannot be filled. Now I understand that need but this is supposed to be a somewhat romantic restaurant, correct? Why wouldn't they just add 2-seater tables then? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been turned down for this reason. "Sorry. I understand it's just you and your spouse dining but you will need to find 2 more guests for a reservation here."
At least I get FastPasses out of it every time I bring it up to GR.
And I understand that. But just another example of how Disney has turned into a money-hungry corporate giant.

Yeah it certainly seems like this is a communication error on Disney's part. He'd hate me if he knew I posted this on here, but here's a picture of my fiance at dinner this December. We were seated in the ballroom and this table clearly isn't designed for 4 people so they definitely have 2 person tables! Also the couple in the back of the picture are seated at a 2 person table as well.
Maybe they have very LIMITED number of 2 seater tables.
clever!
The last time I tried to get a seat for 2 was last June. So maybe they have added 2-tops since then.
Nope, 2 tops have been there since opening.
If that was the case then how come parties of 2 have been turned away in the past?Nope, 2 tops have been there since opening.
I haven't a clue. All I know is that I have eaten at a table for 2 as long ago as early 2014 and as recently as last September. Granted, there are very few two-tops (in the Ballroom and West Wing; don't think there are any in the Rose Gallery, which is our preferred dining room.) But we were never turned away for being a party of 2 when BOG accepted walk-ups, and as I mentioned above I have made ADRs for a party of 2...in fact, I have both a breakfast ADR for 2 and a lunch ADR for 2 for our trip in a couple weeks.
