Be our Guest... has anyone got eservations early January 2013

[Down Under Minnies]

Hi....I have been trying daily to get a dinner reservation for early January but cannot get a booking.

I have tried online and on the phone but nothing is available at any time.

Do you think they when they say it is fully booked it really is FULLY booked or might I have luck with a walk in reservation if I trying to make a booking in the park early that same day?

Do they hold a certain number of tables for walk in reservations?

Thanks

At this point, when referring to Be Our Guest, it is probably safe to say that if it is fully booked, they mean fully booked. You can always try for a walk-in. With restaurants showing heavy popularity, it is usually suggested to show up right as they are opening for dinner.

Disney does not hold open tables for walk-ins. Your best bet is to pick up a cancellation.

I agree. I think it's a safe bet to say it's fully booked. You can keep looking for cancellations though! You may have some luck with that online.

I remember when reservations first opened, Nov-Jan went really quickly. That was a nightmare of a day. Urgh. Memories.

What day are you looking for? I may be cancelling one soon.

I'm looking for one any day from Jan 2 - Jan 8. If you have a reservation you're willing to drop, I'd love to correspond and coordinate.

Thanks!

Same here! I didn't know we were going to Disney until 2 days ago and I have been checking like crazy every day for cancellations. I'd love to hear more about anyone being able to score a walk-in once it's open. I might just have to check in every day once I'm getting there.

I've never done any "fancy" dining at DW and now that we can finally afford it, and there's a restaurant that I'm really looking forward to (BatB means a lot to me), it's impossible to get in! I'm sure a lot of people are sharing my frustrations lol.

I don't know if it's the same for ADRs but I used to sell baseball tickets and you could usually get the best tickets the day of the game. We've also had that work out for Cirque du Soleil, so I suspect if you keep trying you might be able to get ADRs that day or the day before because they'll have last minute cancellations. Of course, it's also brand new so everyone wants to go so there might not be as many cancellations. I'm totally new to Disney ADRs and this is just based on experience with other things.

I'm checking daily for BoG ADRs with no luck. If we don't get in this time, I'm sure we'll be back at some point.

OP- I hope you are able to snag an ADR soon!
We booked one for the end of January for dd's bday, but it took some calling.
Good luck!

I have been checking for BOG reservations for weeks too. Just checked about a half an hour ago and there they were. We are booked for Jan 27th Not sure if there will be one for the date and time you need but sure hope so!!! I'm so excited I just can't stand it!!

Woohoo! Just grabbed a 5:30 ADR at Be Our Guest for Dec. 7! Yaaaayyyaaayyy! I already had one for Feb 25. But this is awesome!!!! Can't wait to tell DS and DDIL. they are gonna be sooooo excited!
My best tip would be to keep trying. can happen!

For our trip in January, we had to call OVER 500 times the day reservations opened and no, that it is not an exaggeration. The next day, it was completely full for our entire trip.
