Tried to book Be Our Guest 180 +6 and 180 +8 and nothing available. How is that even possible?

Check the "Dining Reservation" boards--- looks like the dates have been pulled for some reason---- really not fair for ppl trying to score "BoG" !!!

(not to mention frustrating!)

Hope you guys all end up getting your ressies !!! "BoG" is true Magic !!!

Are you trying online? It didn't work for me when I did online so I had to call. I was able to get one no problem for August 16th. The website said no times available for several different restaurants when in fact, I just needed to call. Good luck!

I booked ours 179 days out last week with no issues.

Holstar · 02-24-2013, 12:30 PM

I called today and spoke with someone at 12:02pm our time (7:02am, Florida) and I was told that for all of our dates (23rd of August to the 2nd of September) no reservations were available at all at that time.

So, that's 180 days in advance, and every single one of the +10, including day 10 which had just been released. She didn't elaborate, but advised that I regularly check back.....

It seems that lots of people have had problems in the last few days and that the dates were suddenly pulled (including many available spots), so I'm not sure it's simply a matter of becoming fully booked!

I called on my 180 day mrk for my 10-day trip beginning Aug. 18 and had no problem getting a 6:30 BOG dinner ADR for 8/25. In fact I was able to get all the breakfast and dinner ADRS is wanted - the place and time - with no problems and that included Chef Mickeys and Ohanas which in past years when i made my adrs at 180 days (for same time of year) were tough to gete. I guess I just hit it lucky.

WeCantWait · 02-24-2013, 05:09 PM

Yep, My 180 days was yesterday. Got up at 6, was able to book everything except BoG. BoG had no availability for the entire 10 nights. Very frustrating.

KatMark · 02-24-2013, 06:18 PM

I booked ours at 180 days out exactly online for Be Our Guest for August 16 and had no problems.

thinktink87 · 02-24-2013, 07:40 PM

Same here. Nothing aug 23 to 30 via phone. Couldn't get high tea at grand Floridian which seemed odd, not terribly surprised by bog. Ill be trying about once a week until then for cancelations!!

closetmickey · 02-25-2013, 11:40 PM

I was able to get BOG August 21st at 180+ but had to call as the new system does not allow for the 180+ benefit, even of you log in with your resort confirmation. I was also able to get 'Ohanas for August 24.

Good luck!

CerysG · 02-26-2013, 09:29 AM

Tried yesterday at our 180 marl and there was nothing at BOG for Aug 24 to 31!! I phoned just in case as the web site seems a bit screwed up right now. I'm just going to keep tryo.g and hope for the best. I booked the Crystal Palace and Liberty Tree Tavern as back ups and if by chance I get a table at BOG I'll give up LTT. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Oh and I got everything else I wanted but some places the choices were getting slim.

Same here, we got all our ADRs too. We are going to be there starting August 19 and got BOG on 8/20 no problem. It's a little later than we were planning for dinner (7:50pm vs. 7pm) but that will be fine since it's the only day we have 3TS scheduled. (We usually don't do breakfast TS but I really wanted to try Kona Cafe this trip).

hvanes · 02-26-2013, 02:50 PM

Do keep trying! My daughters and I didn't decide we wanted to try BoG until recently; we travel in 90 days. Of course everything was already full. I began checking the website sporadically a few times a week. At one point I was able to get an opening at 9ish, which is way too late for my kids, so I let it go. Last Sunday night, though, I was able to secure a table for 6 at 4:40. Since then, I've read many others having the same good fortune. Don't give up. Good luck!

WMorganS · 02-26-2013, 02:59 PM

I was told by a dining CM a few days ago, that BOG was booked through 9/2 (190 days at that time). But she didn't know if it was booked by diners or blocked out for some reason by Disney.

taylorali · 02-27-2013, 01:23 AM

Hey All,

I'm new the Disney Forum-but my fiance and I booked our vacation at the beginning of January and were able to get reservations at BOG in April!

Maybe it was pure luck? We just did it online.
