Not ordering ahead question.

[OurLaughingPlace]

Long story, but I had to phone in to get an ADR for BOG breakfast. My party is at two different times (but only 5 minutes apart). Problem is that only 1 is showing on MDE. I did call back in and I do have a second ADR, but only one is showing. So, I'm guessing that I won't be able to order my meal ahead of time. Does this put me at a huge disadvantage time wise? My reservations are at 8:05 and 8:10am. Should we just order when we get there since I can only pre-order for half of my party anyway? TIA for your opinions

Has not affected us negatively either time we had lunch there. Did not pre order, went right in, second in line at kiosk, ordered, sat down - total 3-5 min.

I don't think things are so seemless there, so I wouldn't worry...Last time I was there, my party waited 40 minutes for cupcakes only, and they still got the order wrong! It will always depend on unknown factors, so just don't worry too much!

Have you tried linking the reservation to your account again to see if it will appear?

I've been for breakfast and lunch and did not pre-order either time. If you don't get a family ahead of you in the ordering kiosk that decides they can't figure it out, you should be fine. There are cast members there to tell you which kiosk to go to and to help you if you need it. Doesn't take long after you order before they bring your food.

I would really try contacting disney about the reservations so you can do pre-ordering. We did BOG once with pre-ordering, and once without. And I will never go without pre-ordering again. Maybe other people just went during a less busy time, but we waited in line forever to order, even with ADRs.

How do I link it? I'm always afraid I'm going to mess something up in MDE lol!

Maybe, if I can't get it linked to MDE, I can call and order over the phone? Might try this - thanks!

They should have given you a confirmation number with your reservation. If you don't have it, call and they should be able to give it to you again. Then log into your MDE account. Under My Reservations and Tickets there should be a button you can click to link the reservation with that confirmation number.

Once you have your reservations linked, it shouldn't be an issue to order. Also, come to think about it, it doesn't police how much you order, so if you needed to, you could probably just put everyone's order under one reservation (unless you need them separated for some reason).

Thank you for the help! I was able to link my second BOG reservation and it now appears in MDE I had no idea I could do this until I followed your instructions. Many thanks for your help lizard1
