8:55am BOG reservation

[ianhead]

Our party of 3 has 3 separate "party of 1" reservations for Be Our Guest at 8:10am, 8:20am, and 8:55am. Does anybody know what time they will let the 8:55am reservation into the park? I feel pretty clever for getting these three reservations the week before I go, I just hope I haven't left the 8:55 fending for themselves outside the park. =)

I'm posting this here instead of in the restaurants thread because this is more of a how to get in MK early strategy. =)

A restaurant CM will be at the gate checking off those with ADRs. Go up to the CM as a group and explain your 3 ADR times and that you'll be dining as a group of 3. You shouldn't have a problem entering MK together.

I have read in several threads on the restaurant board that anyone with a PPO reservation (any time until 8:55) can get into the park when the gates open at about 7:45, and can check into BoG as soon as they get there. LAst week I was there with an 8:25 and we got in at 7:45 and checked into the restaurant about 8:05, no questions asked.

That said, a single reservation for earlier will probably open up in the next couple days. Keep stalking.

I'll keep stalking. You guys are the best.

We had an 8:45 reservation this week and were in the park before 8. And checked in to eat before 8:05. No problems. We were also on the very first mine train of the day!

Does the anytime before 855 apply at all parks? Have a H&V for 825 with the hope of getting in at 745 to at least sign up for JTA prior.

Can you do the multiple single reservations for dinner as well? and if you all go in together will they seat you together? I did not know this!! I have been trying to snag last minute BOG dinner reservations with no luck so far. We will have 3 adults and one child in our party

Multiple singles for dinner won't work at BoG because it is true Table Service at dinner with reservations based on assigned tables.

Keep checking for an ADR for 4 even up until the day of. People do cancel at the last minute.

I don't think you can do that in dinner as BOG dinner is table service.... So they should have already arranged the table accordingly. 3 single reservation means 3 small tables each sit one... A reservation for 3 means a bigger table that could sit 3-4...

That is what I figured. Thanks for the help!

I'm so happy to hear your experience! I have an 8:45 in a couple weeks and I've heard some reports that they have been made to wait until 15 minutes prior to be let in. Our strategy behind the timing was to get in after the first early rush (those wanting to eat quickly to be first in line for rides) so we could enjoy a leisurely stroll down a mostly empty main st. I didn't realize that the welcome show had been moved to 8:40 and I feared having to move quickly to avoid the rush of the incoming crowds on our heals. My plan is to arrive shortly after 8 and hope for the best!
