Good morning,
I am looking to book BOG FP+ and I need my confirmation #, apparently not that one that includes letters. I was told to look under the tickets and magicband section on MDE, but I have tried everything and can not locate this number. Anyone know where I may be able to find it? I have customized my Magicbands but I still have until May 20th that they can be updated. Our trip is June 19th. Any help would be amazing! Thanks
 
The number is printed on your magicband and shows when it ships on MDE you'll have to wait a bit. BOG for lunch doesn't open up until closer to the dates anyway, so you should be fine.

If you have DME tags it would also be the number on there.
 
When we did the BOG FP+, the confirmation was the hotel confirmation number, nothing tied to the bands, etc. That was in March, so maybe has changed though.
 

I'm guessing that the OP is asking this question because they have a room reservation through Orbitz or some other third party broker, and the hotel confirmation number they use is not the same confirmation number Disney uses. The Orbitz confirmations have letters in them and the Disney ones do not. The signup for the BoG lunch will not accept confirmations with letters.

You may be able to get the exact Disney confirmation number for your reservation if you sign in to MDX, go to the Magic Bands and Cards section and find the Magic Band entry for your reservation. (Not sure this will work if your bands have already shipped.) However, if it only shows the confirmation with the letters, then you will have to get it some other way. Unfortunately if you booked through a third party, you may not be able to call Disney for information as they do not consider you the owner of that reservation. Maybe try calling whoever you booked through and ask them to contact Disney and get that number for you.

This. It's looking for your resort confirmation number. the BOG FP+ is only for folks staying onsite.
 
Our 12 digit confirmation number was available on the Magic bands and cards section of MDE on the web only, not the app. It vanished from that section after our bands were shipped.
A friend of mine who left for WDW today, called disney and they gave him the 12 digit number linked to his reservation. He used it to make a BOG FP+.
Silly question but have you linked your reservation to your bands?

I used my hotel confirmation number, found on my reservation email and also on MDE.

Nope, it's not 3rd party ... numerous people (myself included) have booked complete Magic Your Way packages through Disney, and the resort/package confirmation is listed as 8 characters including numbers and letter. It's been this way for the past few years, but it's not 3rd party. Previously you could get 12 digit MB confirmation number from the MDE website from the customize MB screen. I was able to do this last October (2013) for a BOG FP.

I have another trip coming up this October with an 8 character (including letters) confirmation # direct from Disney. About a week or so ago the 12 digit magic band confirmation # disappeared from the MDE website. I've confirmed this has also happened to several other people.

I still can't figure out why some people are getting the 12 digit resort confirmation and other are getting the 8 digit confirmation with letters. Would it be a Magic You Way Package vs a resort only package? I got the 8 digit with a Magic Your Way. In any event, the folks like me who have the 8 digit confirmation have been seeing the 12 digit MB confirmation used for the BOG FP disappear as of late. I remember seeing this 12 digit # on the MDE as of a couple weeks ago ... no longer there.
 
I might be wrong, but I think the difference is whether you have a package or a room-only reservation. I have a room-only reservation, and my reservation number does not have any letters in it (and so I can use it when looking for BOG FP times), but I think that if you have a package booked perhaps that is when your reservation number includes letters (and can't be used when searching for BOG FP times).

That's what I'm thinking as well. If so, the people who booked a package will have to either:

A) wait for your MB to arrive to get the # directly off of it
or
B) Call Disney reservations and have them read it off to you

Interestingly enough, I didn't have to re-enter a confirmation # for the BOG FP website this year. It worked just on my log-in and password. Maybe because I already used the site last year? I'm far from my October window even opening up, but it allows me to login and check dates without any request for a confirmation #.
 
I will call Disney, the resevation is My Magic+ Package, the only confirmation # I have is the one that includes letters, and BOG FP+ wont even let you put the letters in. It is so Frustrating! It is going to be awhile before my magicbands arrive so I really hope that they will give it to me over the phone.
 
To clarify - EVERY reservation on a Disney resort has as 12 digit reservation number. A Disney package will have a 8 alpha-numeric reservation number, however it still has the 12 digit number hidden - this is eventually printed on your MBs.

For BOG FP you need this number.

If you booked a magic your way package, this is how you can get it ahead of time, before you receive your MBs:

* Go to MDE on a computer
* After you log in, go to to "My reservations and tickets"
* Below the 8 alpha confirmation number, you should have a link (currently it shows check in online for me as already within that timeframe)
* RIGHT CLICK to copy the link and paste it in notepad or whatever
* The 12 digit number is your room reservation number and this is the number you need for BOG FP

There's no link under my 8 character code, and I'm too far out to check in online. That code is still probably buried / hidden somewhere on the MDE website as part of a link, but so far I've had no luck. I should have written it down when it was available a few weeks ago

when is your trip? when you customize your bands-- there will be a confirmation number somewhere in there.

Go to your MDE and click on Magic Bands--

they will not give it to you over the phone if your trip is not within 30 days.
you will not even be able to look at the FP for BOG if your trip is that far out

Not true--I made my BOG FP+, and printed the confirmation, and we have over 30 days to go.

The number is no longer listed on MDE on the MagicBands section (though it was there a month or so ago when I first checked). And they absolutely will give you the number if you call. We are 56 days out, and my SIL called Disney reservations on Monday to get the number and successfully reserved BOG FP for June 26th.

where do you print a confirmation. I have one for may and I do not see the information.


I called last month sometimes and the lady said she couldnt give the confirmation for MB
