BOG dinner at 180

[My3TXGirls]

I was up this morning to get BOG dinner at the 180 day mark and was online at 6 am eastern. There was absolutely no availability for any dinner for the length of stay. I find it very strange that not even the undesirable times were available at all for 5 nights. I have put in dates for touring plans adr finder but still seems odd- I thought I remember Disney holding some ADRs before - anyone having the same dumb luck as me?

 

[ree123]

Yup. Me too. I just called.. they have no availability yet due to special events in MK. They don't know when reservation will be released

 

[My3TXGirls]

Thanks for the information. UGH... constant checking now.

Today was also my 180 day mark. We are also staying for five nights. I was online at 6:00am sharp. It was amazing how many places were already booked up. BOG was no where to be found. I tried to both lunch dinner on certain days. I know there are MVMCP happen on certain dates so I am sure that hasn't helped any. I got all the ADRs I wanted, except for BOG. However, I am going to get checking. Since 6:00am this morning, I have already canceled and rebooked numerous times and I am sure I will many times more before November.

My 180 was yesterday for a trip 11/8 - 11/14. I booked a BOG dinner for 11/13. No other dinners were available.

I also booked breakfast on 11/10 and lunch on 11/13.

You have to just keep on looking. I was able to get BOG the day my 180 opened but since then I looked at other places and BOG was never available for any day or time. People do cancel and change things around so I would keep checking. Also I would check the day of or the day before you want to go since people may cancel last minute so they don't have to worry about the no show charge

I just tried to get a dinner adr for any MK restaurant on Nov 9 and nothing was available past 4:15. There is no party on the 9th. Hoping this means they just haven't released tables like previous poster mentioned

I don't think it is true that Disney just hasn't released the tables yet. We went at the time of year you all are booking for and it was VERY difficult to get BOG. I managed to get it for our 8th or 9th night. There was nothing before that. This is a very popular restaurant and it gets booked up very quickly. Also, the free dining promotion means that more and more people will be booking. Like others have said, just keep looking. As people finalize their plans, they will drop some of their reservations.

 

[My3TXGirls]

There is no free dining during my dates. I will keep checking.

I did not get BOG dinner on my 180 day either...but then I got something about 2 weeks later. I am going in Oct during Halloween parties and I really do think Disney has not released all of the availability for dining yet. Keep trying!

 

[My3TXGirls]

That happened to me last year for the Halloween party and then all of a sudden lots of tables opened up a few weeks later

Not my first adr rodeo lol but it seems others had issues this morning too. Thanks!

I believe the issue here is that this is the only weekday during Jersey week that the MK will be open all night (no MVMCP). This will be a crowded evening at the MK.

I also believe this scheduling of the party is impacting the BOG dinner ADR shortage. I tried last week and even looking 6 days out from Day 1............nothing was available at BOG.......took Crystal Palace instead and I'm quite happy about it.

I booked this past Sunday for our trip (Nov 4-13) and was able to get a dinner time. There were other times but they went pretty fast. The problem is the 4 party nights in one week but I also couldn't find later times for that Wed. or Sat. when MK is open later.

 

[My3TXGirls]

excellent point on jersey week! thanks

I also booked breakfast on 11/10 and lunch on 11/13.

glad to see this, my ADR day is Monday hoping to book a breakfast and lunch as well.

 

[DisneyHardin]

My 180 was yesterday and I couldn't get a lunch one. There was one 10:05 breakfast available, but we want lunch. I set up an alert through ADR finder and will keep my fingers crossed.

I would imagine the 190 day people scoop up alot of those reservations. Despite mediocre food BOG is one of the hardest ADR's to get.

 

[Kellie_G3]

Pretty well echoing you all.... I was on right at the time and had my parents on too... not 1 dinner for BOG that I could find...nov 5-12 trip for me... my day was Monday that it opened up

 

[saskdw]

We always stay onsite and even with the 190 window it was slim pickens for BOG last trip. I would think with only the 180 day window it would just be luck to stumble across a cancelation.

I really never believed the "just keep trying, something may open up" line. I always thought it was just an empty platitude. But last night I was able to get a 4:40pm reservation for 3 for BOG on Saturday, May 14th. Yes, tomorrow!

What worked for me was to just check the phone application periodically throughout the day.

So if I can pull it off, then anyone can. I would now change the old line to, "Just keep trying, something WILL open up!"
