BOG 9:20pm, park closes at 10:00pm

[Amy Walker]

Hello everyone,
I have a reservation for Be Our Guest restaurant at 9:20pm. The park closes at 10:00pm that night. Will that be enough time to eat and not feel too rushed? Will they kick us out before 10 or at 10?
Also, the fireworks start at 9:00. Will I have enough time to watch the fireworks and get into BOG at 9:20? Thanks for your input!

One more thing to add:
I have reservations for lunch and dinner at BOG (12:40pm and 9:20pm) I was only able to get lunch and then dinner reservations became available. I have eaten lunch at BOG and the croque monsieur is probably one of my favorite sandwiches ever. I have never done dinner at BOG though. I really love the restaurant but is eating there twice in a day, too much? Haha

No need to worry.
They will not rush you out.
Relax and eat.

Wishes is about 12 minutes long.
I'd say you could watch a few minutes but generally they want you to check in for your ADR 5-15 minutes prior to your assigned reservation time.

I love watching Wishes from in front of BOG. It's a 360 feel to the fireworks since some go off by castle and the big ones are behind BOG. I would watch them there and you'll be all ready to check in as soon as they are over.

They won't rush you, the back of park will be mostly empty but Main Street shops will still be open.

Thank you both for your feedback! That's good to know we won't be rushed. My next question is I have reservations for lunch and dinner at BOG.

For me, no!
We have done breakfast and lunch the same day. With dinner on another day.
We will do the same in January!
Wherever I can get the ADR- I take it even if that means the same day with the meals spaced apart nicely.

I don't think it's too much. The menus are completely different and it's nice getting to experience both!

And they definitely won't rush you They may come over to your table though to encourage you to meet the Beast before he leaves for the evening. But you can go meet him and then go back to your table!

1. I would watch Wishes in New Fantasyland. Wishes goes approx 12 minutes. We love the spot and you will be close to BOG to check in once the fireworks are over.
2. They won't rush you. When you finish dining, New Fantasyland will be fairly empty however the shops on Main St will still be open.
3. Beast might leave earlier then when you finish dining. Usually you have to finish your meal and pay before you can meet him as you aren't allowed back into the restaurant afterwards. However if he's going to leave, there will be an announcement so you can go and meet him before he leaves for the evening.
4. Only you can decide if it's too much BOG in one day. Beast is my favourite character and Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite movies and I would absolutely do it if I couldn't get another day for lunch. They are very different experiences and Beast only meets at dinner.
