BOG confusion

[mssong85]

What is the difference between a BOG reservation and a FP?

 

[jelloarms]

They only take reservations for dinner. A Fastpass is only for lunch.

Thank you. I have been really confused. Is it a QS credit for dinner or is it TS?

It is TS for dinner, hence reservation needed. It's a (very popular) QS for lunch, so a FP is highly recommended.

However lunch FP is available only to onsite guests. Dinner is available to all.

Does the fp count against your three?

^ No it doesn't- it's a completely separate offering. Be sure print your confirmation out or save a copy.

Considering it doesn't count against your 3 FP+ it would be ok to have them in park besides MK right?

Even though it's quick service for lunch - are you still seated inside the restaurant, so that we can see the same things that you would see during a dinner reservation? This may be a dumb question

Yes, you are still seated inside the restaurant for lunch I like lunch there, because you can choose what room you sit in.

I didn't print my fastpass out or save it - is it possible to go back and do so?

 

[Juliegirl1]

Never mind - I was able to log back in and print it.

Yes but lunch you don't get to meet the beast. I think lunch and dinner offer different menus.

We have done both lunch and dinner at BOG, and there is a big difference. The menu is much different, as well as the atmosphere. Lunch was quite chaotic when we were there. Dinner was still loud, but things were more relaxed. If you can get a dinner reservation, in my opinion, it's the better option.

For any Beauty & the beast Fan, I think Dinner is key because you get to meet the Beast...and this is the only place.

if you're not that big of a Beuty & the Beast Fan, I suggest skip the hassle and find another counter service. NO WAY would I wait in a standby line.

If you want to see what the inside is about before determining if it is worth a future TS, okay, but it isn't like the lunch food is unparalleled.

I used fastpass in November, they lost my pre-order but it allowed me to skip the line and go straight to the ordering machines.

I am looking to book dinner on September 22. At what time of day can you start booking? I see Sept 9 is already sold out. I just want to see if I need to stay up late or get up early.

It's not sold out, it's just not available yet. I booked mid-feb for april 12th and I think the availablity was early from what I hear... I would start checking at the begining of July.

You are talking about a dinner ADR, right?

You can make ADRs 180 days from your arrival date (if onsite) and 180 dates from the date you want the ADR (if offsite). Online ADRs open at 6am eastern, phone line opens at 7am eastern.

Is your arrival date 9/22? If it is your 180 days is 3/26. If it's not you can calculate it here: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/pscalc/dispscalc.html

 

[cgerdon02]

How does ordering work with the machines? Is it easy to substitute sides? Is there a list of sides you can order a la carte?

Why if you can book 180 days out it is not available for September 9? Is BOG always later than 180 days?
