133 days out- BOG PPO ressie for 6 -likely or nope?

[magicmountainmama]

We're 133 days away from WDW (!!!) &, after deciding that I didn't want to bother with a PPO breakfast, I've decided that I definitely DO want a PPO breakfast at BOG.

I'm looking at a Tuesday in late January, so hopefully not too busy. I do have the TP reservation finder set up. What do y'all think...likely to happen or should I just forget about it?

Alternatively--I was able to get a 9am ressie. What happens if we show up super early?

Anything can happen! Especially as your trip gets closer. I wouldn't count on it but I'd be optimistic that something could open up.

Reservation finder is such an awesome tool. Has worked great for us - we travel as a party of 10 so rely on the reservation finder to get certain ADRs. So much better than constantly having to check!

I would not count on getting seated early for your 9am though.

Fingers crossed for you!

Have you tried breaking your group up into separate parties with smaller numbers of people? Sometimes you can snag multiple reservations for smaller numbers around the same time to get closer to the time you want to eat. Once you are inside, you can all sit together so it doesn't really matter if the reservations are 5 or even 15 minutes apart.

I did try this & found 2 earlier times for groups of 3, but the My Disney experience app wouldn't let me make more than 1 reservation for the same time. I also got on my laptop & couldn't do it there either.
How do you do it?

Try the Touring Plans reservation finder. It's worked for us on several reservation changes; however we only have 4.

You would need to use another person's account on the trip for a second reservation...

It can happen, we are only a party of 2 but originally I had a 10:30 reservation and decided I wanted a PPO, we got a 8:20 reservation on a 9:00 opening about 80 days out.

I second that for Touring Plans reservation finder. It is simply amazing!!

I just got a PPO BOG for December 1st. Ive been signed up with touring plans since June. The text came at 1:53 in the morning, woke me out of a dead sleep. It took a while, being that its BOG and all, but it finally came! Sign up for Touring Plans. You might get lucky too!

Just set up another MDE with a different email.

Awesome! That's great to know!!

So, it did happen twice. The first time I was at work and couldn't get to the text right away. So I put a special ringtone to the text number (hoping it would be the same number the next time). Luckily I am a light sleeper, so when I heard that particular ringtone go off at 1:53 am, I knew exactly what it was and got the 8:15 PPO! Just remember to refresh the adr request on Touring Plans if you get a text but not the adr! Good luck and pixie dust!!

Only two but just booked it for two weeks from now (lunch).

I booked PPO BOG for party of 5 the other day just before the 60 day mark. Use TP finder and don't give up searching.
