ADR Timing Help Please

[Beckalecka]

Hi all I have a 7:00 ressie for BOG and I am planning on doing a FP+ for Preferred Viewing of the MSEP at 9:00. I plan to show up for the ADR 15 mins early and I know that TS meals typically take 60 mins. I gave us 2 hours to be safe but now I am getting worried that I won't make MSEP due to the popularity of BOG.

Did I pack enough time in for dinner to make the parade?

Is it possible to FP+ ETwB from 5:30-6:30 and get done in time to get to BOG by 6:45 for our 7:00 Ressie?

I know experiences vary from fantastic to horrible on everything at WDW and since this is my first time using MB/FP+/and eating at BOG I want to give myself plenty of time for everything bc I hate stressing while at my happy place

I'm gonna say I think you will be fine. I would arrive at ETWB closer to the 5:30 time of your window b/c it's still a wait even with the FP b/c the show is slow moving. It's directly next to BOG so you could finish and go directly there to see if they will let you check in early? They might not but I would try anyway. I think we were there for about 90 minutes when we did dinner there last September. It probably will be a bit of a time crunch but I think it's doable. You could even let your server know you have something your trying to get to afterwards and maybe it will speed up the process a bit. I've never done a FP for a parade so someone else will hopefully chime in on if it's better to get to those earlier than later or if it even matters. Hope that helps!

Thank you! Yes I am thinking Maybe I should do FP+ for ETwB from 5:00-6:00. We probably won't do dessert and might skip Apps also just to speed it up. I had a 6:30 ADR and changed it then it was too late...duh

If you can change your ETWB FP for 5-6 I would just to alleviate the feeling of needing to rush. We still waited for at least 20 minutes to enter with a FP so if it's a busy day it might be worse. I'll also say that with our 90 minute dinner we had apps and dessert so skipping either of those will lessen the time spent there. It is a fantastically themed restaurant...we all loved eating there!
