Be Our Guest Lunch FastPass Thread [PLEASE read the FAQs in the first post!]

[Dismomof2boys]

We are checking in on October 31 but we won't be able to eat at BOG for lunch until November 7. Since I cannot make reservations online for anything beyond 7 days, and that will be day 8, I will have to make reservations at the Resort. What are my chances of getting a reservation for Nov 7? Do you think they will be all gone? Also, do we get the option of choosing off the menu as well? Any info would help, thanks.

That is a tricky question and all I can only compare it to is our upcoming trip.

• Our MK day is 9/28.
• It is a MNSSHP day with a crowd prediction of 1 on TP and the most recommended park on easywdw.
• I booked our BOG FP on the morning of the 27th day (9/1).
• There was every time frame available and I was able to get 2 FP's (using 2 difference room accounts) for the exact same time frame 11-12.
• I checked several times after that during that week and there were still times available, IF I wanted to change.
• Last week, I saw a post on here for someone that was still having trouble with the dates it was showing for her party on the BOG FP website and the date they were looking for was the same date we had our BOG FP for. I checked again and there were no more FP's available for our date. So even though we are still 19 days from our BOG FP date and the crowds are suppose to be low, there are no BOG FP's available for our date.

I have read several posts that have indicated that BOG FP don't get snatched up as fast as ride FP's and I agree that with other posters that it is not crucial (yet) to stay up through the middle of the night to grab a BOG FP but just a few pages back (pages 36-38) there are several posts from Disboard friends that after just a couple of days there were no BOG FP's available with a super slow September date.

Even though the BOG FP system was originally by invite only (I got my invites on day 27 at 1:30 after making my FP at 6:30am) now that it has been posted on several websites, I believe that it has caught on and the FP's are being snatched up a lot faster. Also, now that they are passing out paper FP's for a return time (if they are still doing this), they may have cut back on the amount of FP's on the website.

Is there another day during your trip that you could schedule one for (maybe a 1/2 day morning at MK with an early 10:45-11am BOG lunch or 1/2 day afternoon with a late 2:30 lunch) and then once you get to Disney, have them check for your desired date and just change it?

You do have the option of pre-order or waiting till you get there.
If you want to pre-order, choose "Fastpass+ direct to table".
If you want to order when you get there choose " Fastpass+ Expedited arrival.

Good luck!!

can someone verify that 9/18 has no passes available. I added a new reservation to my stay and i am trying to make sure that this didn't screw up my existing one and want to move it up a day

The furthest ahead I can see is Monday 9/15, and I can't get any pass time slots to appear. So based on that, it's quite possible there's nothing free for 9/18 at this time.

When you have the 9/18 day page up, keep refreshing the page in your browser, as it may reveal time slots during some of the refreshes. If you don't see anything no matter what, then yeah, probably all gone at the moment.

Not finding any FP options for 9/16-9/20. Really??? We didn't have any problem last time we used the system. I also check for some late Sept/early Oct dates and finding NOTHING. Do things every open up? Is it worth checking continuously?

When this website was first introduced the BOG FP was by invitation only but like all good things, the info gets spread and circulated more and more and it appears that the BOG FP's are being snatched up alot faster than they used to be.
Back on 9/2 (page 36-37) Kitten818 was looking for a BOGFP during 9/20-9/26 and there were none to be had and that was 18-24 days out.
On 9/1 at 7am I was able to get one for 9/28 but within a week everything for our date was gone and it is a MNSSHP day with a predicted crowd level of 1 on TP and the most recommended park on easywdw. Not sure what is going on But can only imagine, if they are now doing FP + the paper tickets for a return window instead of stand-by, they may not be offering as many FP's. Those are just my thoughts

so i switched my resort reservation and my existing bog fast pass no longer shows up. i have a screen cap and printout when i booked it weeks ago. what are the chances they are going to give me trouble if i try and get in using that?

ignore duplicate post

I just got the fastpasses (11:30-12:00) for BOG lunch on 10/6. It is currently 3:25am Eastern time.

Why does it only show through Sept 30 for me? I must be doing something wrong. I need Oct 11.

 

[jworthy]

I just tried to book for November 10-20 and it is only letting my go to the 14th. Nothing is available anytime between the 10 and 14.

You're too far out from the date you want to make reservations for. Other posts in the thread say you can only start booking 27 days out.

 

[jworthy]

Thanks. I will have to set another reminder....like I don't have enough of them already.

On the BOG FP "claim reservation" sign-in, it allows me to enter my first and last name but not the resort reservation ID. It's the confirmation number correct? It only allows me to enter the first digit.

****i should of read all the FAQs! I was able to sign in. Great thread.

November 10th will open up on October 15th (as long as the pattern stays the same). Then each day after that the next day will open up.
So, for example, if you wanted to book your BOG FP on November 15th your time would open on October 19th sometime between 2:30am-6am EST.
With the most recent posts, it does appear that the FP's are being snatched up a lot faster than they were a month ago (it has really caught on). At one time, it wasn't necessary to stay up all night trying to get a BOG FP but several posters have recently posted that they tried to get a BOG FP when they woke up on the 27th day and there were no more FP's available
Also remember, you can only book your BOG FP the first 7 days of your trip so you would only be able to book a FP on November 10-16th. If you are wanting your FP on November 17th-20th, you would have to wait till you check in at your resort and hope there are some available. And you can only book 1 FP for BOG at a time. Once you have used that one, you can try for another one

We will be there the same week (11/9-11/16). If my math is correct, and it is entirely possible it isn't, I will be able to get this fastpass beginning Oct 12.

Right?

Here now, pre-ordered for our three rooms/three reservations. Everything went off without a hitch! Checked-in, sent in, waited five minutes to get to cash register, verified we didn't want to change our order, went to table and POOF! Just wanted to give a positive review for all of you who have worked so hard for this FP!
