booking BOG on a party night?

[Angel Ariel]

Is BOG open from 4-7 for dinner on party nights? Our mk day will likely be a MVMCP day, and we have a friend coming with us who has never been to BOG. I'd like to get in for dinner if we can. Our 180 day mark comes up soon, but I don't want to.waste time trying for that window if they aren't taking ADRs

Eta: we will likely not be doing the party. If we do do the party,.it would likely be on our arrival night a few days before.

They will take ADRS for that time period. We had one for 5:30 on a MNSSHP night last year. If you are going to the party though, you may not want to do BOG that night, especially if you want to see some of the most popular characters, for those, you need to get in line well before the party actually starts. I do think they open at 4:00, so if you really want to go that night and are going to the party, I would try for opening or as close to opening as you can get.

I had a 6:45 on a MVMCP night last year. At the end of dinner we were escorted to the front of the park, which I expected.

If you are going to the party I probably would not do a TS at that time, maybe do lunch instead?

I agree with the others in advising against doing BOG on a party night if you can help it. We did that twice the year it opened and it ran us quite a bit later than expected. That said, if you're not trying to line up for any popular characters early, you could do something really early (no later than 5) without too much worry.

If you aren't doing the party, then it's just smart touring to schedule as close to 7 PM as possible.

We likely will not be going to the party...if it holds true that party days are less crowded, that would be why we would have our mk day that day. I'm thinking of trying to get a time as late as possible, to maximize.our park time for rides. Would they do a 630 adr when it.closes at 7? I realize we wouldn't be able to stop and do anything on the way out.

We got a BOG reservation for 6:45 last year on a MNSSHP night, when we weren't attending the party. IMO, making a BOG reservation on a party night as late as possible before 7:00 is a great way to get a full day in the MK and then have a lovely dinner to end your day, if you're not attending the party. If you are attending the party, it's a huge waste of expensive party time.

You will be escorted from the restaurant to the park entrance after dinner if you're not going to the party.

Your ADR time just needs to be before 7:00. If you can get a 6:55, that would be perfect.

ETA: We booked a FP+ for ETWB for 5:30-6:30, so we went straight from ETWB, where we met Belle in her finery, to BOG, where we met Beast all dressed up. It was really fun and I plan to do that during this year's trip as well.
