Be Our Guest Lunch - no reservations

[mickey0624]

We're heading down to WDW from Feb 13-15 before embarking on a Marvel cruise and we were hoping to grab lunch at Be Our Guest. I've been trying for months and no reservations have come available for any day at any time during lunch. If we go to the check in stand right at 11 when lunch begins, do you think we'll be able to get a table stand by? Has anyone done this before?

Probably won't work. Set up a Touring Plans alert and keep your phone handy. I bet one will come up.

BOG is the least likely to accept walk in guest.

I have a 100% success rate showing up in the last 10-20 minutes of lunch service. Walk right in, order, and eating in 10 min or less

No, however I have watched on several occasions as one group or person after another got turned away.

How do you do this?

Here is the link for the Touring Plans finder. You have to have a subscription in order to set it up: https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/reservation-finder

Have you tried splitting up your party and getting separate reservations? You seat yourself at lunch, so as long as you can all get in the door, you can find a table together. If you do snag an ADR (or multiple, split-party ADR's), I suggest pre-ordering to avoid the large ordering lines at the kiosks.

We have successfully walked up to BOG lunch twice, however, we were a party of 2 and both times it was later in the day. That being said, once, when I was waiting in line to ask if we could walk-up, the party in front of me was turned away. It was a bigger group, which may be why. We definitely got pixie dusted.

I would also simply keep trying to get the ADR. You may find availability the night before and even day-of as people cancel to avoid the no-show fee.

Well first think about when you're going.
The 14th is Valentine's Day and the 17th is President's Day.
Schools tend to have either the week leading up to Pres Day off or the Week of Pres Day.
Its bound to be semi busy.
I certainly wouldn't try walking up unless its as a last resort.
Keep looking for ADR's even the day of.
Not sure of your party size but you could also split your party and look for a couple of ADR's within 5-15 minutes of each other and you would likely all be let in at the same time.

Not sure how big your group is but I found a reservation for lunch at BOG for 2 at 11:45 on Feb 14. If you have a group of 3 or 4, try splitting.

I tried like an hour ago. I’ll try now. Thanks. And yes I’ve tried smaller group and haven’t had any luck.

I used the app...for some reason I've always had better luck with the app.
