Do reservations ever open up for BOG???

[KrazeeK120]

I got one about 2 weeks out using the cancellation thread on this board.

Cancellation boards are awesome right here and so is touring plans, but the reservation finder is free! You have to setup an account t, but not the one you have to pay for

Thanks so much for all of the info! But I don't see how to sign up for touring plans without subscribing and paying for it?

Keep checking! I was looking to change our BOG dinner time so checked multiple times every day and I was finally able to do that the morning of our ADR. There were ADRs popping up periodically, just not the time that I was looking for so don't give up! People change their plans all the time and things do open up. It just takes a little perseverance. Good luck!!

Not for larger parties, but I did have success getting to 4-person dinner reservations on our last trip pretty late (less than 30 days). Sometimes reservations will even open up the night before since people have to cancel to avoid the no-show fee.

A little trick to getting an ADR is to always check for a party of 4 instead of 2, they have very few tables at places like BOG and others to book for 2. I always look for both 2 and 4 and it will always show 4's available more than 2's. Just book for 4 and then change to 2...or meet some new friends to have dinner with.

You only have to register for a free account on their site to use the reservation finder. Here's the URL to do that:

I've been pretty good about checking several times a day for a March reservation for 2 for dinner but no avail. Does anyone ever have success getting in after the 6 month booking window? We booked late this year so I missed out on that! Suggestions/tips/tricks??

I just canceled a BOG lunch reservation today, added a breakfast and saw a few options for dinner.....Yes, they open all the time.

I've found BOG ressies very last minute so there's definitely hope! Keep checking even day prior

I'm going in april and have booked a lunch time and then changed it twice already to bettery times from openings that come up. Highly recommend the touring plans reservation finder!

 

[melanielll]

also - if you haven't gotten a reservation and it starts raining when you are there.... that can be a great time to try to walk up.

I think it take a matter of stalking the reservations. As you get closer to your date is when you will likely have a reservation open up as peoples plans change. I know for my April trip i booked BOG, but our park days maybe changing thus i'll need to cancel. Just keep checking.

Yes, there is hope. I snagged a dinner ressie about two weeks before my last trip. I literally sat there one day and kept hitting the search button while I worked, and after a few hours, I had one! Good luck!

A couple of years ago we got a walk up dinner reservation. We were very lucky to check at exactly the right time. So it can happen, but I wouldn't bet on that being the case. The best advice is to be diligent about checking for reservations, or using Touring Plans as others have said. They do open up, but can go quickly.

Well I got a touring plans text that a reservation had opened up (I was SO excited!) and I went straight to it from the link provided and it was gone already

Oh bummer! Sometimes those are grabbed by people already on the site. Just keep trying--you'll get it!

 

[gingerfeathers]

Yes--because I had to cancel my BoG reservations about a week out a few weeks ago. Within ten minutes it was gone to some lucky person somewhere.

Check the day of, one time I was checking for an ADR in MK about 3 hours before we wanted to eat and was looking for anything but BOP (not a huge fan) and sure enough, it came up. I ended up taking it partially because I couldn't actually believe I got it.

On the day you get an email reminding you of other reservations you have that day, realize that many others are getting email reminders for BOG that day. Several people might then cancel BOG if their plans have changed, so that is a very good day to look. Then, keep checking till the day of.

I cancelled two BOG lunch reservations for 7 in January. One about 2 weeks out and one the day before when we changed what park we wanted to go to. I'm sure others are changing their plans all the time too.

Definitely!
