BOG dinner timing question1

[kguenther8]

I made a 6:30pm adr today BOG for sept 8 (yea!). Will this give us enough time to dine then go out and catch electrical parade and wishes? And where should we head to catch the parade?

According to the schedule, MSEP is at 8:00 pm and Wishes is at 9:00 pm on September 8th. For MSEP, that gives you about 90 minutes to be seated, order, eat, pay, and then go find a spot to watch MSEP. My instinctive answer is that there is a chance you'll be able to see MSEP after dinner, but there is also a good chance that you'll miss some/most of MSEP. BOG is very popular and it's not uncommon for it to be running behind schedule (e.g., when I was there, it took 45 minutes to be seated even with an ADR); although I don't think it's as notorious as 'Ohana. I think you stand a much better chance of being done in time to see Wishes.

Wow, thanks for mentioning that you had an extra :45 wait even with an ADR. I actually had the same exact question as OP but for 9/1 when MSEP and Wishes are at 9 and 10. I changed my 6p ADR to 5:10...just in case. I'd rather not rush and be able to snag a good spot for MSEP.
