Feeling like a FP Failure

[cinderkelly]

What is BOG and why is day 27 the limit? I am not familiar with all the abbreviations.

BOG = Be Out Guest restaurant @ Magic Kingdom, fastpasses are available for the lunch service and the window to obtain one usually opens up somewhere 25-30 days before your trip

Well, tonight was my 60 day mark!

The day I have been training for, for weeks. I've spent hours reading and watching youtube videos on just what to do.
Alas, Still no Anna and Elsa for me. I even had to give up the Seven Mine train because the only availability is when we have dinner reservations at GF.

Even my back up plan for getting the parade spot wasn't available.
We are going to MNSSHP later in the week, so I won't give up hope yet!!!

I did get
Peter Pan's Flight
Splash Mountain
Enchanted Tales with Belle

This trip is my 8 year old nieces first trip.

My 30 days out was started last Friday(staying off site this trip). tried every day at midnight and throughout the day for 7DMT. Could not get a single FP for it for seven straight days. ridiculous.

edit/Update - actually just scored 1 (ONE) today. I took it in hopes that I can get at least one for my other child.

We ate a BOG our last day without a reservation and the wait was very short. (10 min) We ate there around 2:00. In my opinion, you may not want to waste a fastpass on it. I also overheard a cast member say they have a preview each day from 9:00-10:00 am so guests can eat there with little wait. BOG was great! One of my favorite dining experiences of our trip!

you may not want to waste a fastpass on it.!

The BOG fastpass, if you can get it, is an extra that doesn't count against your normal 3 per day.

A few items girl you. 1 - FPs for parades and fireworks do not open at 60 days. Closer to 28 days or so. 2 - last week disney did a three day trial for A & E meet and greet. They did away with the standby line and people went to a location by the carousel to get return tickets. Kinda like the old FP system which a 30 minute window and an expected 30 minute wait. So it is possible that they may have some system like that when you go. 3 - use the on lime MDE site and not the app for setting up any FPs. The site gives more options and control.

Thanks for the parade reminder...
