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

[BwoZoo22]

Glad (and sad) to hear not having BOG FP+ availability is a universal problem. I checked Monday, and Oct 31 was available for reservations. So I checked today because Nov 2 is the day I want. Nothing. Oct 31 is even gone. So of course I come here to see what the issue is. What would I do without you all!

I'm really hoping it eventually opens back up. We did the pre-ordered lunch FP+ last year (after hearing about it here!) and loved it! Quick, simple, easy, food was great, and it was really neat to see the 'West Wing.'

If BOG is truly becoming FP+ only for lunch, why would they take the site down? Does this portend DW is going to switch to walk up FP+ only? More fair for those not in the know, but kind of annoying to have to run over to BOG first thing to pick up the FP+. As usual with Disney lately, we know nothing, they are saying nothing, and now we have to wait and see what happens.

if it does become FP+ only I would guess they will run it through MDE, other wise no offsite guests would be able to eat lunch there.

When I go to the beourguestlunch page, the Sign-In button is grayed out (not enabled). Is this what everyone else is seeing today?

So, has anyone spotted BOG on MDE? I'm afraid to even try to look because I don't want to mess up any of the FP's I have booked! None of them are worth losing just for a lunch ressie!

For me it's grayed out until I type in my password, but once I type in my password it's green. I think it's been like that all along.

My SIL checks in on 11/16 and I check in on 12/6. I checked and it isn't an option for either of us.

Yes, that's how it's been.

Just wanted to vent! Securing a BOG Lunch FP is one of the final steps in planning and it is just so frustrating! We arrive on 11/1.... I did call Disney dining to see if they knew what was up and of course they couldn't help. They said to check the website! They received no word that the BOG FP were being changed.

Not a big deal, but just frustrating! And makes me worried everytime I read bashing posts about FP+...

It's just lunch, right?!

Please excuse this post if I am being completely redundant... I did read through the last several pages of posts, but this may be a question that was already asked!

I have had success with the link before (last April). When I went to the site about 2 weeks ago, I was able to sign in and add my reservation number, but when I clicked my preferred day in December (Dec. 7), of course it said that fastpass+ was not available for that day. I was expecting this, since I had heard that there was only the 27 day window.

I see on this thread that people are seeing the additional days pop up as they are becoming available, but I don't see that. The only thing that I see when I sign in are the days linked to my reservation (Dec 3-7). I cannot view previous days.

Am I missing something? I imagine I just need to stay the course and keep checking this thread for the most up-to-date information. I have 29 days until my 27 day window opens up.. maybe it will be working by then!

I feel exactly the same way. I have done everything for this trip, ADRs, FPs, party tickets, MM. The BOG FP was the one last piece of the trip to fall in place.

It is so frustrating that they are changing the system and not giving any information out about how (or if) we will be able to get a FP for lunch now.

I know it is just lunch and we'll just go to Pinocchio's if we can't get BOG, but it is still aggravating to have the rug pulled out from under us right at the last minute!

Right now, you're not missing anything. For an upcoming reservation, the system calendar will only show you the days of your visit, so it's working correctly for you at the moment.

I am right there with you guys!! I do not care if they change it! Just tell us so we can be ready...Just not fair! I know it not the end of the world, but it is aggrevating after planning so much for this trip.

Thanks!

I had copied and pasted my password in, and the Sign In button stayed gray.

But when I typed just the first letter of the password, it did turn to green.

(Unfortunately, like everyone else in November, no FP+ available for any of our days.)

So how is anyone supposed to eat at BOG??? It is FP only, but there is no way for any of us to get a FP!!

I'm going in August with my youth Theater Group, and I am the only person with a MDE account. I manage all the kids and staff members and we are staying in 6 total rooms.

How do you suggest I go about booking the FP for my group? I obviously have A LOT of time before I can book, but I'm just curious since I know you can only book for your particular room.

Should I ask the kids to create their own MDE accounts? If I am the account holder will it transfer over to them?

Any other hints?

Exactly! What a helpless feeling!

BOG is going to be a very empty restaurant this way.

Since as of right now, nobody can get any reservations beginning with November, I don't think anyone can tell you what the state of things will be for your trip in August.

 

[palmettocharm]

Like many of you, I've been checking non-stop since my 27-day window opened up. I am also looking for a November 2nd or November 4th FP reservation. I just received a little while ago the email invitation to dine at BOG. When I logged in, nothing had changed...still nothing available for those first few days in November.

Frustration is slowly turning to anger...

I agree. I never even tried for a BOG dinner reservation because I just figured we'd have lunch there. That way we could still see the inside and only use a QS credit. It seemed like the process was pretty set and I was ready and just waiting for our 27 day date to arrive (looking to schedule for 11/9 or 11/12).

I just hope they'll just announce what the plans are for November soon. As others have mentioned, at this point there's no way for anyone to have lunch there in November, if it's FP+ only and you can't reserve a FP+! I'm just afraid they'll open it up for reservations or FP+ on MDE or something and I'll miss them all.

I'm new to this board and was trying like everyone else to get FP+ for Be Our Guest. We check in 11/12 and have been patiently waiting the 27 day window. But I just read the following on All Ears website:

Be Our Guest Lunch Accepting FP+ ONLY! No walkups until further notice
October 08, 2014

Be Our Guest in the Magic Kingdom is currently only accepting FP+ reservations for lunch. They are not accepting walkups until further notice.

Perhaps that is why nobody has been able to get FP+ for November.
