Be Our Guest?

[captainron19]

OK so I am feeling like the old woman in Beauty and the Beast getting the door slammed in her face when the Prince turns her away from the castle. LOL

Is it completely impossible to get a reservation here? I have tried on the 180 day mark for the last 3 days at 6am in the morning. Actually brought the page up at 5:45 am and got the date selected and the party size and kept clicking on the "Find a table button"

It kept telling me "unable to search for a table" obviously because I was trying before 6am but as soon as the system was able to accept for that day when 6am cam around all I got was "No Tables Available"

Call in at 7am. I was not trying for BOG, but for all of my other 8 reservations all I could get was one. So I called, was on hold for 30 minutes, but when I hung up the phone, I was able to get everything I wanted at almost all the times I wanted. It can't hurt to call.

Thanks will try

30 minutes now and I sill get either a busy signal or "all circuits are busy" WOW !

The problem with BOG is that when it is your 180, people who are staying onsite have already been able to book that day for the previous 10 days. Since that is the most popular reservation in the parks right now, and if you are going during FD, it will be very difficult to book.

Just keep checking and you may find a reservation will come available closer to your vacation. With the CC guarantee people will cancel if there is a chance they aren't going to use the reservation, but many of those happen closer to the dates of travel.

Good Luck!

I did not know that. So if someone is staying on the property right now, they can book a PS 190 days out?

I think the PP meant that guests arriving even just a few days before you have already booked their ADRs for their 10 day window--which would overlap your 10 day window. It's an ongoing process--so the ADRs that you make will affect someone arriving even just a couple days after you. I hope this wasn't too confusing.

If you stay on property, you can book your ADRs at 180 + 10. That means that at 180 days, you can book reservations for the first 10 days of your trip. So today, when it is 180 days for you to be able to book, people who are staying onsite for their trip have been able to make reservations for up to the 10 days prior (depending on their arrival date).

I am guessing I would have to do that via telephone then? Cuz when I try online (even when logged in) it is only giving me choice for my 180 day mark. So for today the furthest I can make a reservation for is 11/3

If you are staying onsite, you should be able to do the +10. It wouldn't let me make my reservations online, because like you, it wasn't giving me any availability past 180. I had no problems once I called in, so definitely try that!

We made a last minute reservation (I got the Be Our guest dinner 4 days before we went - someone did a last minute cancellation). So, they are out there. However, I will warn you that I was not impressed at all, nor was my family with this dinner. My recommendation is Mama Melrose and it's about 1/2 the price. Much better food and service! I have been to Disney about 15 times and have eaten at pretty much all of restaurants. Good luck with whatever you decide!

 

[captainron19]

Finally got through on the phone yesterday after 2 hours and there were no BOG available reservations for our stay between 11/1 and 11/9

But at least we made the rest of our PS reservations including California Grill for around the time of fireworks

 

[babesboo99]

I called at our 180day mark which was May 3rd and I got a reservation for BOG on Nov 3rd at 830 . I didn't want this reservation since we leave for home on the 4th but I took it. I am trying to find something earlier if possible if I decide to cancel I will let the cancellation thread know. I just wanted to hang in the parks the day before and not have a dinner that late the night before we leave so I am second guessing it everyday the only thing that would make me keep it is we have never been there before.

Don't do Mama Melrose, OP! The food and service are awful!!!! If you can't get Be Our Guest and want French food, try Chefs de France instead.

(Unless this poster actually meant Tony's and not MM, in which case I do not know because I have never been there.)

 

[dawgrif]

We love Mama Melrose and never had bad service. It's actually one we look forward to.

I also had my 180 day window open today as well. We are at Disney from Nov 5 - 11th.

I could not get BE OUR GUEST online nor over the telephone (and I called 2x to try to talk with 2 different cast members to see if I could get lucky)

In addition I wasn't able to book any reservations past Nov 5th online I had to call at 7am to get my +10 day dining reservations over the phone as well.

Not sure how it can be sold out already!! this has never happened before but then again I normally go during slower times

This past trip BOG ( I was at the world april 29th - may 5th ) was sold out and they released dining reservations like 3 months before so maybe that will be the case this time around

At this point I really don't understand why this restaurant is not open for breakfast as well?!??!

I have done BOG Lunch & Dinner. I liked the Dinner better it was less chaotic. I think it's a one and done type of restaurant the only reason why I tried to book it again today is because this upcoming vacation we are traveling with people who have never been. I def think everyone should experience BOG once but it's def not that amazing that if you don't go you are missing out

^^^ Exactly.

I got BoG today for November 13 and 14 (later cancelled the 14th) because my 180+10 reaches that far forward. Not many others are in that boat today.

This is awesome.

I agree with that 100%. It's still very new and they don't open the music box room for dinner which cuts down the amount of people they could serve, so the reservations book up quick. But if you keep trying you will most likely stumble across an ADR because people really do cancel all the time.

Keep trying. I got a dinner reservation after trying for over a month for the night we are going to the MK. I was even lucky enough to get a good time
