BOG Lunch - how long to factor

[ktmo]

I have a issue - we have both a FP+ and Lunch reservation for 11:15. The FP+ (11:15-12:15) is for SDMT and lunch is for BOG. At least they are close to each other.

I am not sure what I should try to do first? If we arrive early for lunch will we be in and out in time before our SDMT FP+ time is over?

Or should we do SDMT first and then arrive a little late for lunch.

Do lunch first and be sure to pre order so you can get in and out the quickest. If you get there right at 1115 my guess is you'd be out by 12 but you also have a 15 minute grace period on the fast pass.

I think you have to do the lunch first. If you show up for your fp at 11:15, it will take some time to ride it, then walk over to lunch. It is not a far walk to BOG, but I don't know how long they will hold the reservation for you. At best, you would show up for lunch at 11:40 I would think. The ride is quick, but factoring in the waiting (sometimes there is a short wait for fp), the ride, the walk etc.

Lunch is pretty quick, especially if you pre-order. You could be out of there by 11:45 or so I would think. I don't believe they will let you check in for lunch early. They will tell you to step aside until your ADR time.

We had that exact same scenario on our last trip and again on our upcoming trip. We wanted the earliest possible FP for 7DMT and both times it conflicted with our BoG lunch. Go for the lunch first. If you preorder you can easily be out of there within 45 minutes or even less and 7DMT is right across from the restaurant so it will only take a few minutes to get to it. There is also a little bit of leeway generally at the end of your FP time even if you ran over, but I doubt that you would. Only hold up would be if you don't preorder that line to get in and place your order can be very long.

Thanks everyone. We will plan on lunch first. I am glad that it is quick and we should be able to make it to our FP+ times.

I agree I would do lunch first try arriving a little early we have done that. Also keep trying to change your FP+ time they do come up. I have got lucky many times. You want to enjoy BOG this might make it a little rushed. In MDE just keep going into your 7DMT FP and say you want to amend the time not cancel it. It sometimes comes up with a better time an hour later for example.

I would do SDMT train first. You can get on up to ten minutes earlier than your fastpass, I believe, and should be done by the time your BOG reservation is up. And, they won't mind if you're a few minutes late. I just hate rushing through meals to get to a FP, and we always like to walk around BOG before heading out.
