I am new here, going to the parks next week. I have two questions. First, does anyone know what time dining reservations are opening up? Is it really 3am? Also for noon BG, do you have to actually be in the park, or can you scan in that morning then go to DTD or your hotel? The language is so vague. Thank you!
 
I believe as long as you have scanned into the park before noon it won’t matter if you are still there at noon for the BG distribution.

I can’t answer about dining reservations. I didn’t make any for our trip.
 
Thanks! That’s what I heard but when I practice for it at noon it tells me I need to be inside the park.
So confusing. Was hoping to find someone who actually got a noon BG outside the parks.
Either ride.
 
Everybody who has been trying for TS dining lately has been saying that the reservations are dropping at 3 a.m. Pacific time. Yikes
 

I was afraid of that. Oga’s drops on our getaway day so I guess I’ll be needing lots of coffee that morning. Thanks!

Everything that I've read and seen videos on have stated the following....

7am Boarding Groups - You don't have to be near the parks
12pm Boarding Groups - You HAVE to be in the parks

Good Luck!

That is so good to know. Going to be SUPER hot next week, but I guess we will have to tough it out past noon. Thank you.
 
I've read almost every thread and have watched a ton of DL YouTube videos the past month. From everything I've read and seen, for the 7am BG, you don't have to be in the parks. Although for the 12 noon BG, y

You have to have scanned into the park for the noon distribution but you don’t need to stay in the park. They don’t scan your ticket as you leave so going to DTD won’t be an issue for getting a noon BG.
 
OK. That makes sense. Just thought maybe they used location, as with mobile ordering. Thank you.

I was here to see if anyone knew about the 7am reservations. I had been wondering how that worked since I saw parks don't usually open until 8/9am during the days we'll be there.

You don't have to be in a park at noon, however, you have to have scanned into a park before noon. So you can go to DL then leave to go to DTD or back to your hotel and try for the noon BG.
 
Thanks everyone. I went ahead and did a chat with a cast member and the final word is you do not have to be in the park, just had to have scanned in that day.
