BoG lunch FP+

[myvueof2]

I am looking everywhere, the only number I can find without letters is for dining reservations. I pulled up my MBs, but they are here, so it just shows that they have shipped. I have no clue where to find the number.

Look in MDE TO WHERE your magic bands and cards are. There should be a reservation number there on the first page after you click into that section.

Let me clarify, and sorry I didnt. ON THE MDE WEBSITE, NOT THE APP.

Well I just tried that, and it STILL won't accept my number. Ugh!!

I used the number on my Magical Express tags when I made my Dec FP+ lunch reservation..
The one on the yellow luggage tag above/below the bar code.

Thanks for your help but we drive down, so don't use Magical Express or have luggage tags. I'm starting to think it will be less hassle just waiting in line for that lunch, especially if the FP+ would have to replace one of our others for an attraction.

I was able to score a lunch fast pass for my October trip. now I am heading down in late january with my DH. I would love to introduce him to Be Our Guest Restaurant for lunch. I am unable to see any dates past january 1st. I know people have said they have made reservations for later in january. What site did you use?

This might sound like a silly question.. do you have your reservation, park tickets & magic band linked to your account? That's a must.
I also found that once I actually did my online check in - it changed everything. Once checked in online I was able to pull the dates & make the lunch reservation without problem.

ok heres what i have figured out from the boards, and trial and error.
The number is in MY DISNEY EXPERIENCE, on the webiste, not the app.
The number is numbers only, it has 12 digits.Log in, and under MY ACCOUNT when you hover over it it shopuld say magic bands and cards. Click there.
When you open that, the reservation numbers your bands are attached to will be there.
Once you have the number and log in, your dates will show up.
You can only pick one day from your dates.
After you select the day, depending on how far out your dates are, it will either give you time options, or say that there are none available
Apparently unless you are within a couple weeks away from dates, it will show that there are no times available. As you get closer (two to three weeks) the times will open up.
Hope that helps

Thanks for all your help! Turns out, after it finally dawned on me to enter my first name as Judith instead of Judy, it accepted me! However ... for the two days I tried getting a FP+ at BoG, both dates were indicating that no times were available. Is that true, or is it because I need a special "invitation" for it, or that I'm too far ahead (58 days) of my trip? Thanks!

January dates just became available in the last week; right now its too far in advance for you to make a reservation.

My dates only became available about 2 weeks before my arrival date

 

[GovieMom]

Thanks for the replies; that's a relief! Now I just have to figure out why a couple of the FP+'s I reserved for attractions have disappeared from my daily plans. Ugh! Oh and one more question: Does the BOG FP+ have to replace one of the attractions already reserved?

BOG FP+ is a stand alone. It's a separate test & does not affect your other FP selections.

Yep, don't give up yet! It seems like maybe they release a whole month at a time, in the middle of the previous month. So all of January was released Dec. 19 (or at least that's when I made my FP+), three weeks before my trip.

 

[GovieMom]

I will never give up! Thanks, guys

While we are on the subject, how many people have been able to use their fp if they haven't received the email invitation? I have my fp booked for 1/4 but I am now worried that they won't accept it because I was not officially invited? (I did enter my resort confirmation number, and it found my reservation, but I was never sent an email about it)

DISers have been using FP+ for BOG like crazy since September with few if any reports of any one being turned away. I had printed out the reservation details for our trip in October but did not need it. Might be good to take a screen shot of the details but you probably won't need it. The braised pork dish was fantastic.

Enjoy your lunch.

 

[lynnirene]

Ok, thank you! I thought it would be ok, but I was just reading another thread on here that seemed to say differently, so I got worried!

 

[linskypens]

I truly think it is because you are too far out. I'd keep checking. People are reporting that they are having success about 21 days out.
