BoG PPO reservation question

[TJDisneymama]

I've never had breakfast at BoG so I don't even know what the procedure is as far as being seated or how/when they bring you your food. But I will explain my scenario: there will be 2 of us. at 3 months out I've decided I *MUST* get an 8:05 a.m. breakfast at BoG (on a 9:00 a.m. opening day) and then ride Peter Pan and Pooh as soon as we are able without using FPS, with no wait (hopefully starting a few minutes before 9:00 a.m.). Of course I am not able to get a 8:05 ADR for 2 at this point. I was however, able to get one for 1 at 8:05, and 1 at 8:25. Is this workable? WIll they let both of us back there in time for the 8:05 ADR? (DD is only 9 so I can't just send her along by herself to meet me, lol). We will preorder our food, and I assume we can just both go in and get a table for 2? (when you preorder, what do you do when you get there - do you check in on a computer or something?) Can she check in earlier than her 8:25 res and will they bring her food earlier, or will she actually have to wait until 8:25? It's not a huge deal either way, I'm just curious about the logistics since i've never done breakfast here.

Everyone is let in at 8 now w the opening show at the castle

Also, often ppo is sometimes impacted if they change the park hours to an 8 vs 9 am opening, so watch for change in hours

You still have time for times to open. I would keep checking for a time for 2 or closer together

I'm not sure I would pre order. I would plan on showing up together and grovel

i know we'll get into the MK at 8:00, I meant when they let us back into Fantasyland to go to BoG, will they let us both go back to BoG in time for 8:05 even though her res. isn't until 8:25

Yes, they'll let you both back at the same time. We've gone in at 7:45 with an 8:25 reservation (for the entire party) and been 5th in line to get in the restaurant at 8. No reserved seating - just find your own table for 2. Pre-order, enjoy your breakfast, and be outside by 8:40 and you should be good to ride early. Just remember it's not guaranteed. One day they were filming in Fantasyland and we couldn't ride anything there early.

I actually ended up finding an opening for 2 for 8:15, so I took it. Ill still look for an 8:05.

Did they let you in at 8:00 or actually hold you back until your ADR of 8:25? what about if you preorder? Id like to do the preorder just to see how it works.
