When you are able to make the BOG FP+, it will only show the first 7 days if your vacation. After your first day, day 8 will open, after your second day, day 9 will open, etc.

Not to get anyone worried or anything, but has anyone recently heard about someone using the link & getting turned away when they check in?

I saw some posts earlier on this thread about this happening to those who did and did not receive the invite. Just wondering if there were any updates?

I would not like to have a plan just to go there & get turned away. Main reason being that there are no other QS restaurants in that park that I'd be willing to use my DDP credits on (yes, I've tried the others), so I'd have to leave the park & go back after eating. I used the link for my trip early this month w/no issues (except the system did not keep our order so we had to do it again on the touch screen there..no big deal). When I booked it back in February, I was unaware that you technically should've received the email before booking. I did end up getting the email on the morning before we left (our check in date). The other problem for me is that if I leave before I get the email, I have no way of checking b/c I don't have a smartphone & do not travel w/my laptop.

I haven't used the FP yet but if you had trouble using it wouldn't you be better off doing standby than trying to leave the park? From what I've read the line moves relatively quickly.

Keep in mind you won't be turned away from BOG... just invited to get in line with the rest of the non-FP+ un-invitees! Lol!

JK, of course! Most people have reported that if they had a copy of the email, or a screen-shot/print-out of their name and on-line confirmation time they have had no issues. But I forgot mine and did have an issue (I know! 'm I bad?) It was there when I checked that morning, but the CM could not find it in their system anywhere when I arrived at the podium. So the motto of every DISer on a Mission for BOG should be "Come Prepared!"

It would depend on the wait. I've read some say 20-30 minutes which isn't too bad but some have said they waited up to an hour which I'd rather not.

I actually did take a screen shot of my name & time on the reservation when I made it but did not have to use it. If I'm able to get one again, I will do the same. But this upcoming trip, I am planning on leaving even earlier in the morning than I did the last one. I got the email mid morning so not sure if I'd see it if they do send it this time.

Thanks for the advice.

You are welcome! And good luck in dining there this trip. It is so worth it!

It starts with a 4

I found my number when I was customizing my MagicBands. My resort reservation and number where there.

We are traveling with my brother and his family. So there are 6 of us in total. We are under 2 seaparate reservations and are fully linked to each other on MDE.

Will we be able to make FP+ reservations for BOG for lunch for our entire party of 6 when our time comes?

Out of curiosity I went to the reservation link and it is only showing myself and DH. It didn't give me the option to add the other people I'm linked to via MDE.

We aren't going until August, so I know our dates aren't available yet.

But I was wondering if anyone has had experience making 1 reservations for multiple parties? I know people have done it with little issue for the normal FP+ system for attractions. But I've not seen anyone talk about it for BOG yet.

Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing. My traveling party is under 2 reservations.

your brother will have to make a separate FP+ for his family. My sister and I used the BOG FP+ last October and she gave me her Disneystore.com log in and password to make their FP+. I did one in Internet Explorer and the other in Firefox to keep the accounts separate. It was easy and our times overlapped and we checked in together.

Thanks for that! And BOG was okay with you showing up together and sitting at the same table? Did you pre-select your meals?

yes, we checked in during the "overlap" time frame. You sit where ever you want. We did preselect our meals and I customized some of them. Only issue we had was that we had the DDP and my sister needed to pay OOP for her 2 year old but when I checked off DDP when making the FP+ they included the 2 year old in the credits being used. Sis had to straighten that out at the kiosk.

I had the braised pork and it was wonderful

You'll have to make a separate FP for each reservation. But since you can sit at any available table, you can choose to sit together. You'll just be billed separately.

It let you customize it online, or did you have to do it when you got there? We will have to do the same thing (pay OOP) for our DS 2 when we get there.

 

[Ismo]

Thanks a bunch! That clears up a lot of the worries I had for BOG.

It is weird. We have a party of 9, under one reservation in a two-bedroom dvc. It gives me options for my immediate family of 4 but not the rest. A few months ago I entered a reservation number for a reservation that was just the four of us, over MLK weekend. Once you enter one reservation can you never enter another?

 

[maryj11]

I did not get an invite to FP BOG but I have logged in and have my family and days listed to choose from. We will be there last week in May. It says no times available which I know my time to make fastpasses for it has not opened up yet. My question is since we did not get an invite will it still work when reservations become available or will block us out because we were not invited ?
