Help: BOG lunch and wonderland tea party

[longlongdream]

I finally snagged a BOG lunch at 12:35, but my little one has a wonderland tea party at 2pm at 1900 Park Fare. I checked it takes about 40mins to get there. Do you think it is possible to finish lunch and get there by 1:45?
I assume I can check in at BOG at 12:25. It means we have to get seated, eat and finish by 1pm. Is it too rushed?

It's so difficult to get BOG reservation, really don't want to give it up.

It will be close but it can be doable. Check in early and preorder online before your BOG lunch. It's not a character meal so you could probably eat and be done in 30-40 minutes. Seating won't be an issue for the most part. Preordering will save you a few minutes.

Also, it shouldn't take 40 minutes to get to GF unless you are counting walking time. Eat and head right for the monorail. That would probably be the quickest route.

keep in mind the 2:00 p.m. is when they start - if I remember correctly you have to check in before then. maybe 15 minutes prior? you can do it, but IMO you'll be very rushed. keep trying, maybe you can get a noon BOG.

I would not do both of those even if you could make it from BOG to the Wonderland Tea Party. BOG is too special to worry about leaving early to get over to the GF and the Tea Party is too special to show up having just eaten at BOG. I also think that doing two really close together takes the "blush" off of the other if you want my opinion.

I agree. If you have only one MK day and seeing BOG is a high priority I think it is doable but I would keep looking for a better time or different day. It would be a shame to not fully enjoy lunch because you had to rush out.

Sounds too stressful for me. Keep looking for different times. I would not break up my MK day that way.

If you keep on it, something different will come up either for BOG or the tea party.

 

[ErinsMommy]

Can you book the wonderland tea party for a different day even??

 

[longlongdream]

Thank you all for the replies. Both are quite hard to book. I will keep trying to early BOG lunch or a BOG dinner that night.

Personally I would be too stressed to enjoy BoG and it would possibly hamper the tea too. I would choose one for that day and save the other for another day/time.

When are you going? I'm thinking about cancelling a BOG lunch reservation...

BOG lunch ADR would be easier to get than a Dinner at BOG. One of the best things about BOG is exploring the castle. If you are rushing through it to get out to do the tea party, you won't have time to explore. They also do breakfast at BOG. Could you try for a breakfast ADR?

Thanks for the advices,will try.

Finally got an ADR for 11:35am. That should give me enough time. Thank you all for the help.

Great News! Still preorder at BOG. It's way quicker. Check out the 3 dining rooms. The west wing is super cool.

Thanks, will certainly do that. If I plan One hour for lunch and check the castle should be fine, right?

 

[Skippyboo]

I would think an hour would be plenty of time. The 2 wing rooms are more interesting than the main ballroom. Try to sit in one of those. They will give you a plastic rose that will let them find you when your food is ready so you can sit anywhere in the three dining rooms.

I still think you are "gilding the lily" by doing both in the span of 2 1/2 hours.
