BOG fastpass fir December?

[nuzmom]

My understanding is that you get something like "all fastpasses are gone for the day, choose another day" when the window isn't opened up yet. Also, if you have booked a BOG FP during a previous vacation, you need to use a different email address. If you're using the same email that you used before, the site will only give you something like 8 days to choose from.

So - use a different email address if you've booked BOG in the past
if you get the message that all FP are gone, try again later. Make sure you are within 27 days from the day you want to book (there's no +10 days or anything like that - it's day by day)

For reference - Dec 12th is 28 days from now (Nov 14) so you can't book Dec 12th or after, yet.

Thank you! I'll have to use a different email - we booked BOG lunch last December. And, I'll try again tomorrow (or Sunday).

Booked for Dec 8 on Tuesday (27 days out), but had to make 3 different reservations for each of the 3 rooms ... a bit annoying, but got all 3 to line up, so worked out.

I took the advice of others on here - if you don't see the times you want, hit refresh on the time selection page multiple times (I had to do it 8 - 9 times to get the last res for the same time as the others), but eventually you may find the time you want.

I received an email last week for a "...you have been selected..." and was able to book a BOG lunch ADR for our upcoming December trip. Wow! I'm almost speechless. things like this never seem to happen to us !We can't wait. I had to revise a FP+ for Buzz, but was able to get an afternoon time no problem. Seriously, WOW

I don't understand, are you saying that every time I want to make a reservation, I have to have a new email account? My original vacay date was for later this month, I went into the bog fastpass site and entered my reservation number. I changed my vacay to December but I can't change the fastpass date. If I wait pass my original date, can I then enter my new reservation number in for the December date? It doesn't make sense that everytime I want to make a fp here, I will have to create a new account. How many accounts does one person need?

The system is very glitchy. It seems that once you've used the site it then has trouble recognizing your new trip dates and often just shows the next 7 days as available even if your trip is a month away. This is what I'm dealing with. The tip for using a new email account works for some and does not work for others. Unfortunately it did not work for me- no matter how many email addresses I try it still pulls the next 7 days! I guess I'll have to try and get a FP+ at 7 days out and hope for the best.

We dealt with it in Oct. ......we had one night booked precruise and then came back at the end of the cruise. I could book FP for the week we weren't even there but the second part wouldn't before available until the first week had passed. Luckily then I could get one. I tried using other email addresses, didn't work.

This trip was no problem.
I got an email invitation (first one in 4 trips), but when it came I had already booked through the website on my own anyway.

I forgot to log on at 27 days. Anyone else having any luck for Sunday, Dec 21st? It says that there are no more FP+ available, try another day. Anyone else have any luck?

I booked at 27 days out for Dec. 23, but I have a friend going from Dec. 13-17. She tried to make a FP reservation 20 days out and was unable to because it said FP unavailable, try another day.

I really didn't think FP's for BOG were gone this quickly though.

 

[Aurora0427]

As anyone been able to book a BOG fast pass for December? I'm helping to plan a trip for 3 friends and the site isn't accepting her confirmation number.

Yes. I booked mine at 27 days out. We leave 12/11 and are going 12/12 for lunch. Have you read the BOG FP thread? Are you using the right number? It's not your confirmation number.

 

[kmedina]

Is it correct that you can book it 27 days out? I'm trying to book for December 14 but nothing is showing up past the 20th of this month.. Maybe I'm confused on something. I booked one this past May with no problem but I can't get any dates to show past the 20th

I have lunch reservations for the 14th. They look like they're still available, too. I did get an actual invitation this time. The first time we did it (last year) I just plugged in my reservation number and it allowed me to do it. There was a mix up when we got there though and we bypassed the first line but had to go through the food ordering line. Hopefully, we really get to bypass both lines this time or I may be done with BOG lunch.

Unless things have changed you still go to the second line. You have to pay for your meals and confirm your selections. This is what we did on our last trip in May but things could have changed.

My reservation was in tact last time, but my food order mysteriously disappeared. We reordered everything in the second line and paid at the top of the line. I was told if my order did not disappear, we could have gone straight to the table. When I got to the line to pay, the cashier found my "missing order" (so it was never really missing). It makes me wonder if there was truly a mix up or if that is just the way it goes. We'll see soon, I guess.

 

[MOM POPPINS]

Gotcha Oddly enough we were told to go on to the 2nd line because we needed to "confirm our selections" I didn't realize it could be done any other way.

 

[MOM POPPINS]

When you go straight to the table then how do you pay ?

 

[kmedina]

I assumed you paid at the table like table service when they delivered the food. We had to go through the second line again this time (ate there Sunday). When we got to the screen, our order was there this time. It looks like the only time we were cost by the mysterious order disappearance was the 2 minutes it took to redo our selections. That makes me feel a lot better about the error. Plus, I think I prefer to select on the spot rather than picking out food a month in advance.

 

[kmedina]

I did think it was strange that the lady who checked us in the first time did not find my order, and I did not see it either. When I went to pay, the cashier saw it. I liked being able to pay at the kiosk without the cashier this time though. It was pretty convenient. The desserts there are awesome. After two lunches and dinner there, I feel satisfied I've tried enough. The food leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[MOM POPPINS]

That's what we had to do also.. we had to stand in the line on the inside to confirm our selections.. it still was much much shorter than waiting in the regular line.
