Just cancelled BBB for 8:15am on Sept 29th!
OK, I've been searching for BOG during my trip with no luck for a couple of weeks now (I did get an 8:55pm ADR the 2nd day I tried but am still searching for an earlier time). Out of curiosity I've been looking in the morning about an hour to 1.5 hours after WDW dining opens at the date exactly 180 days out and each morning I've looked there have been no ADRs available already by that time.
Today out of curiosity I searched every single date from today through December 15th (180 days out) and there was not one single ADR available (yes I wasted 30 minutes of my life for that).
I just plain cannot believe how hard it is to get a BOG ADR!

BTW to the poster who has a dd that wants to see Beast-he used to be found at Epcot in France, not quite the same I know, but still an option.
Edit to add: Thank you for what I would call painstaking research-I really hope you get your ADR!!
It is very sad that it is this way, it also leads me to wonder how many folks will hold mutltiple ADRs for here until the very last minute they can cancel to prevent their card from being charged.
Disney has done the very best thing that they could do however by offering lunch as a Quick Service option, giving many more families the opportunity to at least experience it. I've decided that I'm going to be happy with the lunch option-it's not so bad when I think about it. I will be eating off of real plates and utensils, they have a not bad menu, desserts are the exact same, and I have the option of seeing/sitting in a room not open for dinner.

Do you think people are using multiple accounts to get multiple reservations? Because I had a situation where I decided to do dinner at A instead of B, but the system knew I had a ressie for B already and would not let me make the ressie for A at the same time/date/party number.
Maybe, but I think the biggest thing is people staying on-property are getting the ADRs before anyone else can. When you stay on-property you are allowed to book ADRs a few days in advance of the 180-day window.
For example, 180 days from today is 12/15 but if my trip were from 12/15-12/21 I would be allowed to book an ADR for BOG, or anywhere else, for any of those dates (up to and including 12/21).
That's the only way I can think of that all the ADRs are gone right away first thing in the morning at 180 days out.
I am staying on-property in September but unfortunately I only booked my trip about 103 days out and wasn't able to take advantage of that little perk.
Cancelling mickeys BBQ for sept 19th for 2... Cause I got BOG!!! Wow now my trip planning is complete

My wife doesn't even know we're even going to disney till I tell her two days before we go
OMG!!!!! I actually managed to snag a BOG reservation for Sept. 11th!!! WHAT?!?! Thank you to whoever cancelled that one!
About an hour or so ago, I did my daily routine of searching for BOG dinner times, and just about fell off my chair when a time slot actually showed up! But the website gave me so many problems (none of which I've EVER had before - go figure) and I thought I had lost the reservation for sure.
For some reason the site had logged me out and I had to put in my password THREE TIMES before it actually worked. Then after I filled in my credit card info and hit submit, I had the "processing your request" notice for a very long time. Then it finally stopped and said that there was an error. I thought I had lost it for sure. I checked my email; no confirmation email. I went to check my reservations on the Disney site and it wasn't showing any of my reservations that I previously had on there. So I retrieved my resort reservation and it magically brought all my reservations back (resorts and dining) INCLUDING a 4:25pm for BE OUR GUEST!!!! It actually went though!
Don't give up looking! It CAN happen! But hopefully you don't hit as many snags as I did...
