Booking into Be Our Guest

Congrats Andrea817!!! Have a wonderful dinner!
And thanks for the encouragement - I definitely won't give up!

Hi Gretchen. This is also meant to encourage you but also to share my happiness... I finally just got a spot today. It's 6:45... we usually eat earlier but I am NOT going to be picky. It's a great suprise when you click and don't see the "sorry" note. I was stunned and grabbed it right away. I'm thrilled... and wanted to share this, but also I remembered you and wanted to login right away and encourage you again. Everyone has been so positive to me, I hope the good karma will flow forward to you too. Keep trying. 2 or even 3 times a day. Good luck... I'm sure it will work for you. I was going to also work with the concierge at the hotel and have them call everyday for us if I didn't get something ahead of time. You might want to think about that if you are there. Good luck. Have a good day!

What is the cut over time from lunch to dinner?

I was also able to get a BOG reservation and we are at about 100 days currently. We had originally had a reservation for 9/7 which coincided with Night of Joy. Disney didn't have their systems updated correctly and ended up deciding not to honor ADRs at BOG during that event and cancelled us. They gave us Fastpasses for lunch any day during our trip that we wanted.

I still wanted to try for a dinner reservation so I've been checking daily. I finally snagged one using the "dinner" option. I was shocked, just like Elizabeth and grabbed it as soon as I saw it open. Unfortunately it's at 8:36PM only for 2 and we need 3 unless one of us opts to just take our DD as a treat. We'll see. We may decide to do the Wishes Dessert Party instead and just do BOG for lunch later in the week.

Just keep trying, you may get lucky Good luck!

We are going in November for a week and the only time they had available starting on 11/23 was a 9:20 dinner on the last night we're there. I went through several days of "not available" and was just planning on doing lunch when the last day popped up.

I'm going to keep going back in the hopes of getting an earlier time... but at least we're in the door. Somewhat sad... I checked the day before we arrive just to see if it was full every night and there was a reservation available at 7. One day too early!
