Is there any hope of getting Be Our Guest?.....

[momto2inKC]

I just found one for 4:45 on Dec 1st, i've been checking nearly every few hours

I called too at 180 and nothing for our whole trip. So, I checked EVERY day from today until 6 months from today. Absolutely no availabilty at anytime. That just seems strange to me. I keep calling and checking online with no luck. I really don't understand what people do who don't "super-plan" their vacations. I thought I was a super planner by planning out Christmas in July. Boy, was I wrong! At this rate, the people who plan their trips 2 or 3 months out may not be able to find a restaurant at all to eat at.

I was able to get dinner adr for 12/22 (on 6/27)and there were later times the following day. I find it odd you can't find any times for your trip. Are you asking for a specific time? If you are flexible it may be a better shot. Good luck!

They're gone now...though I was looking 12/20-12/22.

on 6/27 I was able to get adr for 12/22 at 4:45pm. On June 30 I also found one for 12/24 at 8:30pm, but I didn't switch.

This may sound like an odd question but what's the draw to BOG? Is it just the restaurant itself or is it the food? I went on today to look for our November dates and there was nothing but I was surprised it wasn't a character thing - I had assumed it was. I just want to know if it's something I must do while I'm there and if so I'll keep checking for cancellations

Probably that it's new and has nice theming. I think you can get a picture with the Beast during dinner.

I was originally assuming you could get a photo with the beast but then it said no characters so I wasn't sure. If you could see the beast that would e cool.

I just canceled two reservations on 9/19/13 at 9 pm. Had duplicates

We decided two weeks ago that we are heading back to the World this September. We're easy going and there's only two of us so I have had a pretty easy time getting ADRs. I decided to keep checking for BOG to see if I might get lucky. This morning I found us a 6:00 on 9/11!!! Just like a lot of others have said, you are so used to seeing "no tables available" that when it does pop up, you just stare at it in stunned silence.

So strange that people aren't seeing anything available when they try from their 180+10 date. I made my reservations for the 3rd week of December on the first morning I could and had multiple times available for every day of our trip. They shouldn't all be gone the very first day you can book them. Unless tons of people are booking one for every night of their trip so they have a choice later on (and I won't get into what I think of that) there should be more than enough reservations that something is open at 180+10.
That has to be a glitch or they're holding reservations back.

ETA) and I did my August ADR's really late.. maybe in May? I found BIG after looking for 2 days. I ended up giving that up though because I knew we'd be going again in December and wasn't too excited about it so figured it would be nice to release it for someone who was dying for it. A Dis'er got it too. So that was nice

It really depends on the week. I was online at 180+10 for first week of December, and there was nothing for BOG even at 6 AM EST. We are only there for 5 days, so perhaps the people who will arrive 1-5 days earlier than us snapped them up...? I don't know, but I thought it was pretty ridiculous that when you log on at the first possible time at the 180-day mark, you still can't get BOG for any of your days.

After my experience, I saw that lots of people were having the same problem for the first week of December. So maybe it's just going to be really busy that week... And I do think they are holding some reservations back so that people who don't have the +10 aren't completely shut out. But that's just anecdotal and supposition on my part.

 

[nimbuscat]

My 180+10 starts tomorrow morning! I will be trying my best to get a BOG ressie on just about any night of our trip!

 

[4mykids]

Called this morning right at 6am CT. Today is our 180 day mark. We got BOG for Jan. 8. (The last day of our trip). That's the first date I checked -- figured I'd have the best luck the further out I tried. The agent told me they had several times available. So excited! Good luck!

A couple of days ago I got two separate ADRs for Sept. 18th. I kept one and posted the other at the Sept. canceled thread and someone was able to get it. I just kept the Disney site open on my computer, set the date and the time, I used 4 p.m. rather than "dinner", and every once in awhile I clicked. First one I got was for 6 p.m. but then I remembered that Wishes is at 8 that night and was afraid we wouldn't have enough time, so, without much hope of getting another ADR, I clicked a few more times and ta da! there was a 4:30, which fit our plans perfectly.

Probably because it's new, but it's really a nice place. The theming goes wonderfully with the movie. It's not technically a character meal, but you can have a photo with the Beast after your meal and he walks through the dining room occasionally, but doesn't stop at tables. The food is great, although there isn't a large variety to choose from on the menu. I don't drink, but I think they have wine. That may be the only alcohol available in MK??

I am one of those people who make spreadsheets, and plan everything a year in advance and since we have gone the past 2 years, (and I am a newly single Mom), I told DD that she would have to wait until AT LEAST next year to go back to Disney.

As luck would have it, we won a little contest which covered our airfare and hotel, so we are able to do a quickie trip in October!

It put me in a bit of a panic for ADR's since 180 days was 2 months ago, but after checking just 3 days in a row, we had a great 4:30pm one pop up for the day we get there (we arrive at 10am, so that gives us PLENTY of time!).

Whereas, last year, we stayed CL and got BOG at 5:30, but 4 year old DD insisted we eat at CRT (not knowing what BOG was I guess....so we cancelled in favor of a 6:15 CRT and hoping to get ANYTHING in our week long trip for BOG....
Keeping in mind this was at day 178 or 179...
Both the CL cast and I checked every single day (at least 4 or 5 times a day for me!) and we never got in....it was booked SOLID right on the 180th day.

I think it is a matter of luck....

Now if only we can get a lunch at CRT on the 29th, I will be totally satisfied!
(We have a friend going with us and it is she (4year old) and her Mom's first trip and I'd LOVE for them to experience a castle meal!

The Disney website wasn't letting me make *any* ADRs this morning (at my 180+10), so I called at 6 am central. There was a 4:00 and a 5:05 still available for party of four! We very happily snagged the 5:05. Whew!

 

[csmom]

Keep trying. We decided earlier this week to add a trip 11/17 -11/23/13. Have checked twice a day since then for Be Our Guest for one day that week. Just got one for 11/17/13! Don't give up.

 

[heyitsmejosh]

ive never gotten an ADR but ive had two walk ups.. one was right before 9 on may 18th and the other was last night around 6:30 on saturday during 4th of july weekend (very busy period) if you cant get an ADR all hope is not lost...

 

[DianaPrince]

We are going down july 20 for dh bday and for giggles I checked and BOOM we got a 4:30 adr for july 21st for all 8 of us!! Woohoo!!

 

[Our3ps]

HUGE amount of BOG ADRs just released the last week in July. I just scored a 6:45 for a party of 5 on 7/26. I had my pick of days and times. Nothing the first week of Aug. The dining site was acting funny so I called and they said they heard a bunch were released not sure why but I wasn't the first to call.
