Be our Guest Dinner Reservations October 2018

[Winifred0014]

Has anyone been able to reserve dinner reservations for Be Our Guest around Oct 1-31?

My ADR was 2 days ago, and right at 6 AM ET I had no available option to choose dinner. Only options I had were breakfast and lunch. Booked lunch, checked back today, I see dinner is available but no times are opened.

Signed up for Touring Plans text alert, received no alerts for any openings.

Hoping maybe dates are not released yet and I didn't just miss dinner times. Please advise.

Having the same issue. Was wondering if they were not available because they are changing the menu in July?

My 180+10 opened on Monday and I was able to book a couple of dinners on separate nights in late Oct. I would not give up. Things will open up as you get closer to your trip, because people like me will start having plans coalesce further and drop those extra ADRs (I booked Friday and Saturday because I still don’t know which park we want to be in on which day). But specifically wrt BOG, I have a strong feeling that dinner availability will open up once the new menu comes out and people see it and start cancelling because they don’t like the changes. I would also imagine there’s people who still don’t know it’s going prix fixe (despite the bold print on the website) and as the news spreads, they’ll drop it because it’s too much with kids or something.

I'm guessing that all the times haven't been released yet. I was able to make a dinner reservation for the last day of trip on my 180 day, but the latest option I could get was 5:45 for dinner on a non-party day. Nothing after that which doesn't make sense.

I found nothing for BoG at my 180, but got a Touring Plans alert yesterday and was successful in getting a 5:40pm for October 5th.

Yeah I'm hoping more open up closer to the date. Knew about the change but was thinking maybe the dinner times would not open up till the new prix fixe menu is available.

I also was informed over the phone that for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween dates, dinner would only be available if you have a ticket for those nights.

Nice! Hoping Touring Plans comes through for me. ^^"

Yeah I was told over the phone for party dates, you need a ticket. For the date I was hoping to get, I had a Mickey's not so scary halloween ticket and still couldn't find the option for dinner (like all that they had for selection were breakfast and lunch times, dinner button was missing).

That was my second alert. Had one a week ago, but didn't get online fast enough.

I've rarely had TP fail me. Hope you have good luck too!

Same is happening for me, and for a few others on the MNSSHP thread. We're pretty sure they're just waiting to release the CP and CRT dinner ADRs later.

Did they give you a cutoff time or is it any dinner time for party nights that you need a ticket for? One of the reasons I was worried and grabbed two ADRs is because the first one I got was at 5:30p on a party night, and MK closes to non-party guests at around 6 right?

They didn't give me a cut-off time just for any dinner times it seems. When we were talking, she made it seem it was a necessity if you wanted dinner on a party night. I would imagine it's similar to early morning breakfast, if you have a reservation, you're allowed into the park early.

If it works like last year, the ADR times currently available to book are fine for those without party tickets. Once they add and open up the rest of the times, those times are the ones where you must have a ticket to dine.

The park does close to non-partygoers at 6pm, and from my past experience a CM will likely escort you directly out of the park after dinner. Visit the restrooms in the restaurant before you leave it, and buy any last souvenirs, etc before dinner, as you won't be allowed to stop anywhere for anything after dinner.

Something I found on a random Disney Blog, I'm hoping what's happening now is similar to this. But I'm in agreement with everyone, I think it has something to do with the new menu.

Ah, thanks so much! I hope it’s still the case for this year, that’s a real weight off my shoulders. This is my first time going during party season so I didn’t know what the rules were. The funny thing is we’re actually going to the party on the previous night, but I just didn’t want to waste our actual party time having TS.

If it's a party night, nothing will be open unless you have a party ticket.

I was able to get a dinner on the 4th night of our October trip by booking at the 180+4 mark.

I’m eager to see the new menu before I’m committing to going though. My husband really loves the braised beef and on every proposed new menu I’ve seen so far it appears to be gone. That would be a game changer for him. And I really loved the mussels app and scallop entree.
