According to a recent post on Unite Here Local 737’s Facebook page (one of the largest unions of Disney World Cast Members) another wave of callbacks for food and beverage workers has just begun!

And we’re picking out a few particularly tasty tidbits of information from the “teams” Disney World is asking to return to work!
So far, we mentioned that Epcot Festival Cast Members have started receiving callbacks. Whether this means we’re likely to see Epcot’s Festivals resume when the parks reopen or not — it’s still too soon to tell. But another interesting thing we noticed is that Be Our Guest Restaurant Cast Members are being asked to return — but only for Table Service!
Be Our Guest
This hard-to-get-into Magic Kingdom spot opened in New Fantasyland back in 2012. Due to its popularity (and often needing to obtain an advance reservation for dinner 180 days earlier), Disney began offering a quick-service breakfast and lunch option.
Breakfast at Be Our Guest
Both are unique in that you can still make an advance dining reservation for either breakfast or lunch. Guests can also pre-order breakfast and lunch using the My Disney Experience app.

However, since Disney is only recalling its staff for its sit down dinners, we’re wondering if Be Our Guest Restaurant will resume their fast-casual breakfast and lunch offerings — or if they’ll be postponing them for the time being? Either way, it is very interesting that the union specifically listed is as “Be Our Guest (TSR only – no QSR).”

While we’ll be awaiting the official world from Disney regarding the status of Be Our Guest Restaurant we do know the restaurant will be one of the locations using the new Mobile Dine Check-In feature on the My Disney Experience app which you can learn more about here.

Disney is not, I repeat NOT, giving fair value for their resorts Customers in the circumstance of the quick-service dining plans. First, they had to move us to a different hotel which took away our discount offer and ADDED almost $300 to our total bill (the trade-off being we get the quick-service meal plan) Then they cancel the quick-service meal plan and only offer to take off 35% of just the hotel prices’ original amount – which is no where near half of what we would we now have to pay for meals since they’re taking away the quick-service dining plan. And, since the quick-service dining plan also goes through the EXACT same procedure as using magic bands to charge the meals to our rooms, there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in how we charge for meals, although they claimed they canceled the quick Service because of the Coronavirus. Contacted Disney several times and they Dave a blanket, ambiguous response & just blamed the federal government for the change… but while they’re offering a 35% discount we will end up only getting back roughly 15% of what we paid, and now will probably have to pay an additional thousand or more to cover our meals.
Just thought about this, but if lunch is now the same as dinner, would I be able to use my Tables in Wonderland discount during lunch? I know, I know it’s an insane price for lunch BUT I’m bringing family from Japan for their first visit to WDW & I know we would have to take her to Be Our Guest & at this point, any discount will help!!
