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

[SPOERLX3]

This info is from February, but I checked the time stamps on my pictures so I hope the estimate provides you with some useful info.

I had a 11-11:30am Fastpass for BOG. We arrived right before 11am and there was no FP line at all. (The presence of a line may have changed since then - I hope not.)

I have a photo from 11:01 as we entered BOG.

We had pre-ordered our meals and by 11:06 our meals were already delivered.

With eating and spending time looking around at all the rooms, we exited BOG at 11:42am.

So, in our case about 45 minutes.

jcarwash, you are always a wealth of knowledge. This is great. Our MK day is a MNSSHP day so hopefully the crowds will be a little lighter than normal.
I went ahead and got my FP for 11-11:30am and hope to get there as close to 11 as possible. The only 7DMT FP I could get was either 11:05-12:05 or late in the afternoon and since we are going to Fantasyland first, the 11:05 FP time worked best and I want to make sure we don't miss it The difference is, I didn't pre-order our food so I want to allow more time for that.

Does anyone know the frequency of how often email invitations are being sent by Disney? I received an email last February, 1 day before my trip began. I haven't received anything for my next trip. I booked my FP though. I was just curious to know if most people are receiving email invitations these days?

I don't know how often people DO receive one but we are 22 (!!!!!!!!) days out and we haven't received one. So still not 100%.

My trip begins 9/24, and I received an email today. I had already booked mine before this morning before the email came after lunch today.

My trip starts on 10/02 and I'm trying to make our FP+ for that day. I can log in to the site and see my stay dates. When I click on any of the days it sends me to the option for FP+ direct to table or FP+ expedited arrival then says no fast passes available. It does this for each day of my stay. Am I just checking too early? I've tried refreshing the pages several times, but just get the same thing.

Just a little to early. Th FP dates open up 27 days from the date you want to your FP for. If you want your FP on 10/2, then your date would be this Friday, September 5th.

Take a look at the first post of this thread, it has all the answers to the questions about the BOG FP and it is super helpful if you have other questions.

Sitting here, awaiting for the 29th to come up

Glad I didn't get up at 5am UK time/12am EST to sit here for an hour and 40 minutes waiting for it to open up!

 

[Tink1987]

29th is up Just scored the exact time I wanted.

Thank you so much for all the info on this thread - it has been so helpful!

My family and I are going to Disney the last week of September and have three rooms reservations. My mom and I both have Disney accounts and received the invitation for lunch, but we had to set up a third account for the third room. We were able to get two fp for the two rooms( not at the same time. one is 10:50-11:20 and the other 11:45-12:15) NO LUCK for the third room. In a matter of minutes all fp for that day were gone. I try at least 5 times a day thinking something might pop up. will Disney be accommodating and help us out or will two people in our family be left out?? We have 6 people( 2 to a room) in our family. HELPPPP

I've seen reports of them handing out standby tickets for BoG lunch now. The fastpasses I already made for lunch still apply right? I am sure I am just overthinking this but wanted some confirmation

yes, your FP+ is good, standby tickets are for offsite guests.

Are you sure there isn't some other issue keeping you from getting FP? I have never heard of them selling out for the entire day this far in advance, or at all really, except for one day that another poster on this thread was having problems with.

Are you sure you can't get closer times than the two you did get? Did you try refreshing? Go back into one of the accounts that you already got FP for and try to change your time. You don't have to actually change it, just try to, and see if other times are available to you. Then you will know if they are really all gone or if it's some other problem with your third account.

thanks for your response. every time i try for that day( Sept. 22nd) it says no fastpasses available. i keep trying and this morning one popped up for 1:45, which was of course too late. other than that there isn't anything available.

Sorry you couldn't get what you wanted. It's highly unusual. I think it might have been the 15th that someone else was having trouble with. They selected another day during their trip and had no problem getting what they wanted. Do you have another day you can try?

That is super strange I wish I could check September 22nd for you Our trip is September 24th-Oct 1 and everyday including September 24th has tons of availability. When I logged in to check, the first set of times that came up were duplicates for 12:10-12:40 but when I refreshed it gave me several other times to choose from. I am as confused as you are and the other posters. Have you checked other days of your trip to see if they show availability?

We will be at Magic Kingdom on Monday, the 22nd and a half day on Friday, the 26th before we leave to go home. I did see availability on the 26th, but i'm afraid if i try to look on the two accounts that already have fp and i "replace" my fp just to look that i'll lose my original fp on the 22nd. I don't want to risk losing my first fp. :/

It is really strange. We will be at Magic Kingddom for a half day on the 26th. I guess my question now is if i try to look at the 26th availability on the accounts that already have fp will it cancel those fp just for looking at other times?? I don't want to risk losing those fp if i can't get another.

You will get a message that will say something like.......you can only have one FP at a time, choosing this new FP time/date will cancel any existing FP, are you sure you want to change............. or something like that so you should be able to check or better yet, didn't you say that you have another account you are trying to find a FP for???? Use that one to look at the 26th!

Then if it gives you several options, you will know you can go in and get one for your other partys.
I know that the 26th has several cause I just checked those yesterday.

Let us know how you come out
Good luck!
