BOG ADR; do they run on time?

[Mambo Junkie]

I have a 6:35 ADR for BOG, then a fp for 7DMT, and I want to catch the 8 PM Wishes. Does BOG run on schedule or is it the confusion I have read about on other threads. Mostly those have been lunches, though, so I hope dinner is a bit more organized.

it is going to be challenging to do all of these things with the times you have scheduled and not feel rushed from one to another but it also should be doable.

I would recommend arriving for your dinner a bit early to see if they possibly seat you sooner. Are you able to preorder dinner as you are breakfast and lunch? If go this would be a good option for you. I normally plan a minimum of 45 mins for s sit down dinner to enjoy the food and character interaction but we normally take longer than that.

Thankfully SDMT is right next to BoG so you should be able to transition to that easily.

The challenge for you might be finding a location to watch Wishes as people begin to find their spots early. Also, if it's a night where MSEP is showing and possibly the castle projection show this will increase the number of people already in place.

Is it possible to try to move your SDMT earlier/later?

Sorry that I haven't answered your exact question about how accurate the BoG ADRs are but I'm not sure about that. I know for other locations they can be up to 15-20 mins delayed at times.

I feel like we are always cursed with BOG dinner ADR wait times. We have never waited under 25 minutes for a table and it was up to 45 in December! Not sure if its the time of year we go or they time we make the reservation, but this is the one place there is always a wait for us (we are a party of 3)!

What time is your FP?

And where are you wanting to watch Wishes? I'm guessing you might see it from on 7DMT, which could be fun.

The park is closing at 9 so far. They have extended the other nights but not that one. Having not seen Wishes the last couple of trips I'd like to see it also for some reason Celebrate the Magic is being shown after it at 8:35. Then MSEP is at 9. We definitely want to see MSEP since it is leaving for a while. Yes I have been able to get an earlier 7DMT but I wanted to do it at dark. I'm also doing a MNSSHP the Sunday before but not knowing how crowded it will be I'm not sure about riding it. I'm only doing the party not a full MK day. I'll keep my eyes open for an earlier BOG. I have cancelled the last 2 BOG reservations on my last 2 trips so o thought it would be fun to finally eat there but I'm about to give it up. Thanks for all your input!

Way too rushed for my taste. If seeing CTM and MSEP along with Wishes is important to you, I have to think you'll need to be out front at least an hour early, maybe more?

Nope, not possible And enjoy anything

figure 90 minutes for any TS. This includes, waiting, ordering, eating, paying and leaving, add in characters and it is more toward 90.

You will be able to just make 8pm wishes, as long as you are ok with watching anywhere you can find a space vs perfect position (then you get it and hold it up to 60 minutes)

Any ride, even with a fast pass, allow min of 30 minutes. hopefully less, but a fastness is not walk right up and get right on

have a great trip1 and remember it is vacation! Have fun and remember to breathe!

I posted on another thread that I think I'm going to cancel the BOG; I go for the attractions not to eat. I just wanted to see the Beast. The last 2 trips I had perfect BOG ADRs and the little ones got tired so we cancelled. If I don't find another at a better time, I'll try for next time. I really want to see the 7DMT as late as possible, and still see Wishes. I think I got pumped because I just snagged an EE fp for 8 - 9 PM! Thanks for all the input!
