You bought 4 tickets from where? Who is "The Lady"? The tickets are not transferable so if they are assigned to a person in "The Lady's" MDE I don't believe you can use them.

A lady in a Nov planning group on Facebook, they are valid I called and asked and paid through PayPal but wasn't sure if you bad to have an id with the tickets. I'm aware they say non transferable but it was a great deal for both of us.

I was up at 1am doing fast passes this morning because my lovely daughter woke us up. I wish I checked dining, I didn't even think i would have a chance at BOG. now the only one available is 7:25 and that's too late to eat and try and catch anything else. oh well Tony's it is

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself if 7:25 is too early. The reservation system was taking pre-7 reservations 180+ days ago so your odds were actually quite low of getting anything earlier. (I've been checking 11/10 daily for a couple weeks now, never saw anything open.) Just trying to make you feel better as it's really those later hours that got opened up.

And don't give up checking. I wouldn't be surprised if a few people grabbed them not realizing it was a party night, or will decide not to spend party time eating, so may cancel as we get closer.

True. I was on at the 180 day mark for my ressies and BOG was gone. I was just hoping they maybe opened some additional ones. I do plan to keep checking but we actually like Tony's ( I know I am in the minority) so its not a huge loss. and we have BOG for lunch later in the week. was just a tad bit hopeful! lol

If you add each other as friends and family in MDE could she reassign them to you? I have another friend who is part of my friends and family but with her own account. She hasn't bought her park ticket yet, but I have. I have the option to reassign my ticket to her as long as it's unused. It might be the same for the party tickets? Otherwise how could the eBay scalpels sell them. There must be a way to reassign it. If not you very well may be out what you spent

I could recover my money via PayPal easily. I have the tickets. My understanding is that they work at the gate the same as a magic band. We are arriving around noon that day anyway. I assume I will go to a certain area and show my ticket and get the bracelet.

My clan (all 9 of us!) will be there on Nov 8th! We are so very excited!
Just a quick question, and I'm sorry if this has already been asked. Does any of the rides decorate or look different for the party?

 

[gottalovepluto]

Those looking for other hours on party nights with BOG I just had success moving my 8pm 11/10 ressie to 7:15pm. I tried to change it earlier today but was told nothing before 8pm was available. I just saw it online this afternoon and called into Disney dining to change it over so definitely keep checking if you want something else!

 

[Kiddosx7]

I was able to get a BOG ressie for 12/10 at 7:40pm for 7. It's so late on a party night though so I am so torn with ALWAYS having wanted to eat here as well as my daughter vs. taking up prime party time so IDK what to do.


Another question, can you go to a 7pm ADR on a party night if you don't have a ticket for that party? I know they escort you out when you leave, I just don't know when the latest you can check in is.

No, you have to have a party ticket to book a reservation during the party time. They will not escort you to the restaurant

I have a ticket to the party the night I have my BOG reservation at 7:40pm.
I know they do not escort u to a restaurant, they will make sure you exit though if you get out of your reservation after 7. What I was asking is what is the latest you can book an ADR on a night when the party is scheduled if you don't have a party ticket, assuming Magic Kingdom is open for non ticket holders 9am-7pm.

Maybe one of you party pros knows the answer to this:

My understanding is that after the last MVMCP on I think the 18th, they do the parade at three or so in the afternoon for the subsequent days. However, when I look at the parade named "Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade" on the 19th and 20th of December, it says "closed for refurbishment on selected day".

Are these in fact not the same parade? If they are, does anyone happen to know why that message is appearing and what it might mean in terms of them maybe not doing the parades during the daytime after all?

I'm under the impression the last non party reservation is 6:30 w/ an escort out after. I remember at one time they were requesting to see party bracelets for reservations from 7:00 on. Not sure about 6:45 or 6:55

If you do not have a party ticket 6:55 pm is the latest you can have an ADR for.

Just traded my BOG (2) for 12/15 from 7:10pm to 5:55pm. I'll keep checking now & then to try & get a little earlier, but I am fine with it at that time if I can't.

Still some available for after 7pm.

Tonight I jokingly told DD12 that we would all be wearing matching t shirts and elf hats thinking she'd be horrified. Much to my surprise, she's in!

So is 12 year old DGD with our matching shirts. I was SURPRISED! Then, DD reminded me that none of her friends would be there to see her!
