BOG Lunch Seating

[WatchMeFly]

I made reservations for my upcoming Nov mother daughter trip at the 180 day mark, and was able to get everything I wanted! Of course, since then I have changed my mind about park days and our plans many times as I rethink our schedule and more info (fireworks times, etc) has become available. Originally Be Our Guest wasn't on my radar, but now I'm thinking it could be a fun lunch after the Wine and Dine Half marathon, and could save time compared to leaving the park to eat an early dinner at O'hana (our existing reservation).

Anyways, long story short, I am finding availability for one person reservations, but not two. If lunch is quick service, is it also seat yourself? So two one person reservations within the same time frame would allow us to eat together? Thanks in advance for your responses!

Yes you can do that without problems. You'll choose your own seats anyway

Yes, that is correct. Just keep in mind that 30 minutes apart reservations generally won't work. BoG is notorious for not letting people in early for their reservations, and they have also been known to cancel late reservations. We were 10 minutes early for our lunch reservation last fall, and they told us not to return before 5 minutes prior.

We ran into the same thing with not being let in early. Got there 15 minutes early and were told to come back in 10. If you happen to find 2 one-person reservations at the same time, you can reserve one with your account and one with hers. That way if you find two that are close together it won't make you cancel one of them! Good luck

Yes, we have a party of 11 right now with a reservation for 7, one for 2, one for 1 and another one for 1 within 30 minutes. We aren't going to try to check in early or late, what we are going to do is have the people with the later reservations pre-order while the ones with the earlier ones not. According to how it typically goes, it should play out that the ones not preordered should take longer in their line, the preorder ones less time hopefully allowing us to meet in the middle so to speak.

ETA: I am still checking consistently to see if I can merge any of these. We started with the reservation for 7 then others decided to join in. I finally have made it to 11, initially the reservation for 2 was for 1 but when I checked one time it showed an availability to make it 2 so I did. Ideally of course we are hoping to minimize the number of reservations needed but worst case scenario at least we all have a reservation of some type now (and I know what I will be ordering so I know I can be one of the later reservations for 1 wanting to preorder).

Okay, thanks!! Still not sure which route I'm going to go, but I'm glad to know I have option to finagle something if we want to!
