3pm Fantasy Parade and late BOG Reservation

[MadHookUp]

On two Magic Kingdom days I have reservations for BOG at 1:45 and 2:05. Do I have a shot of seeing the Parade and attending either of these reservations? I am not sure what the average turn around time is at BOG lunch, and the distance from the restaurant to a possible location to see the Parade. At this point I am leaning towards canceling them. These reservations are during the first week of December if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for the help!

calling @Robo... Come out, come out, wherever you are! I KNOW he can answer that question!

Pre-ordering can save some time--the line for the ordering kiosk is about 10 mins long at lunch time when I was there in late August. The food comes fast after that. Probably another 5 mins walking to the hub area in front of the castle from the side of the Cinderella Castle. The FoF parade is by that hub area around 3:10-3:15. To be safe, check in at BOG 15 mins early. You will have about 45 mins for your meal.

you can PM me after our trip, we will be back Nov 2. We plan on doing this same thing twice during our stay. We have a 2pm BoG and plan to watch the parade.. not sure how that will work out but we'll try!

I hear preordering helps a ton!

Easily on the 1:45 day and likely on the 2:05 day.
The beginning of the FoF parade will not reach the Hub until 3:15pm and won't reach Town Square until 3:30pm.

If you preorder and aren't slow eaters I see no reason why you wouldn't make the parade on your 1:45 pm day. Unlike a table service meal BOG lunch can be reasonably quick-the biggest slow down that we saw (ate there once Oct 2014 and twice May 2015) is for people who do not preorder-the line to use the ordering kiosks tends to back up and can really add a lot of time onto your meal. I would say we were probably in and out of BOG in 45 min all 3 times. Now how early people will stake out spots for the parade I'm not sure but it isn't a far walk from BOG to the hub/Main Street or liberty square to watch the parade
