How to get a BOG lunch FastPass+ ?

[MomtothreeEs]

How do I get a FastPass for BOG for lunch? I found the special website link via a couple threads on here, but it won't let me get beyond the "claim reservation" page. I have my Reservation ID and my name, but it is giving me an error message. I'm wondering if it's because we're too far out to make FP reservations or if it's a technical issue. My last name has an apostrophe so we frequently have issues with online forms. If we're not close enough to make a reservation, I wish the website would just state that instead of making me worry that it's an issue with my account.

How far out can I schedule a FP reservation for BOG? We check in on May 10, 2014.

Can anyone give me any other advice for getting this? I really want to go here for lunch, but with my 3 little ones, a giant long line just isn't going to happen. Even if I could get dinner reservations at this point, I'm pretty sure my kiddos wouldn't sit long enough to enjoy it. This is the one part of the trip that is just for me.

From what I understand you are trying to far out. Friends of ours who left for WDW today, was able to get a fastpass+ for BOG about 24 days before the date they wanted.

We are going at the end of March and it still tells me there aren't any times available. So I am thinking the fastpasses for BOG won't be available until we get closer to our trip.

Currently, they are going about 1 month out. So check back. Of course, by then things may change, so it's always good to keep an eye open on the latest happenings. The FP+ was great though! We walked right past a long line right into the castle.

You are definitely too far out. You can book advanced dining reservations (ADR's) 180 days out but BOG lunch is a FP+, not an ADR. You can't book your FP+ until 60 days out. Try at your 60 day mark... If you are still having an issue, I'd call Disney.
Good luck! I want to do the same thing in Oct =)

Feb FP+'s were made available mid-Jan. I have been checking daily for our March trip and expect to see it open up around Feb 14....I hope!

I'm also hoping to score a FP+ for BOG lunch for our early June trip. Just in case we can't get them - is it still a good strategy to line up at 10:30 AM for an early lunch? When it first opened people were posting that this was the best way to get in, but I don't know if things have changed now that it's been open a while.

OK. Thanks for all of the replies. I will continue stalking the BOG FP website. Hopefully I will be able to read some updates here about others getting FP+ "reservations" for lunch. This is my first trip to WDW, and I haven't made any FP+ reservations yet. I'm obviously more concerned about my lunch at BOG than any of the rides.

We received our BOG FP+ e-mail the day we arrived (1/28). We received the e-mail during our flight. I attempted to make a reservation following the links/directions provided; however, it never worked and/or instructed us to create a new account after logging in with our current account. The e-mail currently states to go to City Hall at MK to solve any issues; however, City Hall will send you directly to BOG. After explaining the link wouldn't work, we were told to not worry and were ushered right in. In theory it's a great system, kinks just need to be worked out.
