11:30 A&E and 12:00 BOG?

[abinormal]

Due to good luck I ended up finding FPs for my family for A&E, but the window opens at 11:30 and our BOG ADR is at noon.

What are the odds that this will work? Can I make it? Obviously it's unlikely I'll be able to change either reservation.

1. What are the odds that this will work?

2. Can I make it?

3. Obviously it's unlikely I'll be able to change either reservation.

1. Very good odds. (Also, most times you can be admitted 5 minutes BEFORE your actual FP+ time.)

2. Yup. The locations are close to each other.

3. Even "worst case" you can be 15-20 minutes (or more) "late" to BOG.
(Heck, BOG will be backed up for seating farther than that, anyway.)

Yeah, you're good.

I'll refrain from posting my standard answer. I think A&E did me in last time.

I think you can try showing up to A&E even earlier. Last week I was there and showed up a good 10-15 mins before my FP+ slot, and they waved me in. Probably helps to be nice, though. I told the CM "I think I'm early -- do you want me to come back later?" and they said don't worry about it.

Remember what Mom said...
Be nice, Sean, be NICE!

@Robo I agree! Just to be clear, that WAS me being nice

In generally I think it's good to make the CMs the boss, ask their advice, and not be demanding. And of course, do it all with a smile and some humor.
