BOG dinner - which night?

[Drusilla]

I have an adr to BoG on the first night of our trip at 9:20pm, with a BoG lunch fp schedule for noon that day. Last night I scored a BoG adr at 9pm for the last night of our trip! Yay!!!

The adr times mean that we are going to miss the parade and Wishes whichever night I chose. I really want to see Wishes on our last night, but I'd also like to not eat at BoG twice in the same day (only lunchtime we will be at MK during trip). I will also ask the fam for their preference.

Assuming I am not able to move the last night adr to an earlier time since we are 3 weeks out and consider myself beyond lucky to even get an adr, let alone 2... what would you do, miss Wishes the first day or last?

Update: I was able to get a 5pm time on our last day so that is great!!!

New question: we have a 4:30pm fp for A&E and no other times are available, it will be tight but is it doable and still make it to BOG by 5pm?

Scan in at 4:25pm (you can scan in 5 minutes early). It will be tight, but I think okay. We did wait about 20 minutes in the A&E FP line, but I know of others who just waited five or ten minutes. At least Fairytale Hall is pretty close to BOG. Enjoy!

Most reservations they tend to hold for awhile. With our recent trip we had some transportation issues that made us 30-45 late to two of our reservations. They had no problems seating us. Someone else said they know things happen (transportation, rides break down, getting stuck in line) so Disney is generally very gracious with times.

Now this is all a generallity and BOG could be treated differently because it is in such high demand. However, I imagine if you get stuck and end up 10-15minutes late it shouldn't be a big deal. You could even stop by before your A&E fast pass and let them know you are headed their right after your meeting, just in case something does happen.

We stopped by BOG about 45 minutes before our reservation just because we were walking by and didn't really want to burn 45 minutes if they could get us in. They had no problems and we were seated within 10 minutes.
