Is there anything else I should do?

[lilbuddy88]

We are celebrating my Daughter's 6th bday at WDW in February. I woke up to book ressie at 6 AM at 180 day out (staying at shades of green so didn't have the + 10 days) because I knew we had a large party of 12. I was able to get everything I wanted but for BOG I was only able to split the ressie for the same time for 8 on my account and then for 4 on my mom's account. It wouldn't give me a spot for 12 straight out. I'm aware that there are no promises or guarantees but is there anything else I should do to hopefully have them put the two tables in the same vicinity or even next to each other. The kids can take the table for 8 and there are 4 adults for the other table. The oldest child is 14 and all the children are well behaved but I wouldn't want them to be so far I couldn't monitor them. If the tables end up that far away we will have at least one adult dine with the kids and maybe the oldest sit with the rest of the adults. But If you know of anything I could do now that might give us a leg up on getting the tables close I would greatly appreciate the advise. TIA

As you said, there is no guarantee. When you check in let the castmembers at the podium know that you would like to be seated together or near each other and that you are willing to wait. One advantage you have is BOG is a huge venue. If you are there when it is very busy (e.g. Valentines Day, Mardi Gras week, or Presidents' Week) it might not be possible. Meanwhile you can keep checking for a reservation for 12, but even with a single reservation for 12, you might end up at more than one table because of the size of your group. Good luck!
