BOG Dinner Reservation...

[marisas1011]

Hello, so I am beyond frustrated, I was up by 6 am at 180 days and had a BOG dinner reservation for 3 and when I went to book it MDE glitched and then I could only make it for 2. I haven't been able to modify or find a new reservation for 3. It says my reservation is for 2 adults leaving my 6 year old daughter off the reservation, anyone had any experience with this? Can we all 3 just show up? I will keep trying for a new reservation/to modify but just wondering if this has happened to anyone else before.

Thanks in advance.

Call IT. Sometimes they can help.

You could try canceling the ADR for 2. One for 3 COULD show up as a result. Also try searching for 4. Sometimes that has better luck.

Showing up to the podium with an extra person could be a problem at popular restaurants, like BOG. They may be able to accommodate you, but no guarantees. Showing up with 1 too few people is never a problem, and they'll seat you.

I've been using Touring Plans reservation finder and was able to get the reservations I wanted at Be Our Guest. It's a free service provided on the Touring Plans website (you don't have to pay for the subscription to use the reservation finder). If you aren't able to grab a reservation when the system alerts you, you can just go back into your Touring Plans account and reset it. I am betting it will work well for you since you have 180 days. I am under 40 days out and was alerted three times this week, enabling me to get my reservations.

In general, I will mostly say "never show up with an extra, it is risky."

BOG dinner is perhaps the least risky. Now, I wouldn't show up with a spare Boy Scout troop, 8 extra people, or the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra as extras. But BOG dinner is booked to fill a fraction of the restaurant, as capacity is far lower than number of chairs at dinner. Kitchen is the constraint.

I would keep trying to add a person. Look for bookings for 4 as well, as for whatever reason most people have better luck with 4 vs. 3. But worst case scenario, show up with the kid.
