You don’t have to miss out on an evening meal you just have to either use a quick service credit or pay for something. Generally over a 14 night stay using 2 credit for a meal isn’t an issue as people often eat offsite or use snack credits for lunch. You’ll find that with only 5 nights and assuming you’re concentrating on just Disney in that time signature meals using 2 credits are less attractive. It may actually be better to pay for Be Our Guest dinner as the cost is probably not worth 2 table service credits and you’d get more value from 2 separate meals.

I would agree that BOG is not the one to use two credits on.

We'll be transferring from a hotel at Orlando airport to the Beach Club first thing in the morning on the Magical Express, leaving at 8am.

I'd like to book a breakfast at the Ale and Compass about 10am. Do you think that's unrealistic?

Hi. You’re not getting there until about 2.50pm if your flight leaves the UK at 10.35 surely?

Yes it’s completely different. Lunch is a quick service credit and a different menu. You can check menus either on this site or the Disney website.
If you have a look at the link I posted earlier a lot of your questions will be answered.

Well there’s no guarantee of a bus being there at 8am. We waited a significant time to check in and another while on a bus. Of course at that time of day I’d expect less guests so you may be ok.

It may well be ish rather than 5pm depending on immigration and the Magical Express timings. Sometimes we’ve been lucky and got straight on a coach which left soon after we got on, and were the first stop, but we’ve also had the opposite and it must have taken an hour from arriving at the DME desk to getting off at our hotel.
