Hello All,

I was lucky enought to get a Be Our Guest reservation at 4:05pm on 12/11/12. This is our MVMCP day, and we were going to spend the day at Animal Kingdom before the party. If I can't get into the MK until 4pm, would I still be able to make the 4:05 reservation, or should I add park hoppers onto our tickets so we can enter the MK earlier that day? I told the CM on the phone that we were going to MVMCP, and she said as long as we got into the park at 4, we should be fine.

I don't want to lose the reservation, but I don't want to add the cost of park hoppers for one dinner. Since the reservation is at 4:05, what are the chances that they would still be trying to seat people for dinner, since it opens at 4 for dinner?

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!
 
From the number of people who have asked if they'll make it to a 4:00 - 4:15 res on a party night there must be several who do it every time and no one has come back and said they weren't seated. Restaurants usually have a 15 minute grace period, but if you arrive well after your res time you might have to wait longer.

I think you should try to get to BOG as quickly as possible. You'll need to arrive at the MK turnstiles in advance of 4:00 so that you can be among the first to enter. Be sure to get your party wristbands before heading over to the restaurant. You won't make it by 4:05, but with luck you could be there by 4:15 or 4:20.

In the meantime you could keep checking online multiple times a day for a later res. While difficult to get, there will be cancellations because of the credit card guarantee. People will cancel because they don't want to pay the financial penalty. In addition you can subscribe to the December cancellation thread.
 
I would be at the MK gate no later than 3:30 for the best chance of getting through the line quickly. Good luck! :goodvibes
 
Thanks for both of your responses. I intended to be at the MK around 3:30, hopefully get checked by security, get a wristband, then just wait to get into the park. Thank you both very much!!

After security you'll line up for the turnstiles. You will get the wristband after you enter the park.
 
IDK

for me I have always added the hopper, now i have AP's since i became a DVC member:thumbsup2. But why not add the Hopper and go over to MK after lunch anmd get your wristbands and show up for ADR on time? My advice is why chance it. I arrived 20 mins late one time to LTT for Lunch and had to wait an extra 30 minutes for a table and that was in May and at LTT for lunch, i cant imagine what the scene is going to be at BoG.:scared1:

Side note that is our MVMCP night and i was not able to get a BOG ADR for the 11th but i did get one for the 12th at 725 Have fun at the party:
