Received BOG Invitation 24 days out!

[MarineVet]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post that yesterday I received my email invite to get a BOG Lunch Fast Pass. My trip is still 24 days out. I had been seeing people post that they got their invitation upon check-in, or a week out, but this is really early! Has anyone else got their invitation more than three weeks before their trip? I had already made my reservations, but I feel better knowing I am offically invited. The email did tell me to use my magic band when I arrived there.

That is so awesome! Enjoy lunch, we tried dinner and the food was blah. Next time we will go with lunch.

Is the BOG invitation something they automatically send out? Or is it something you have to sign up for? Does anyone know if DVC members get this?

Sweet! I hope you enjoy .

Checking in in 3 days...still haven't gotten an invite. Made a FP though so hopefully they'll let us in!

The first day of our trip is 4/30 (with 3 split stays) and we got our invite on 4/8 - so 22 days. My friend got hers I think the same day and her trip starts 5/3 - so 25 days. I (we) also booked ahead, as soon as the window opened for reservations. I happen to like both lunch and dinner and will be doing both on our next trip!

I received the invite in November when I was staying on my DVC points! Unfortunately, I received the email on my first day of vacation and did not see it until I returned home

That's great news. I'm hoping we get one too. I wonder if they are trying to open them up a bit earlier to prevent so many people from using the link (referring to previous threads related to the FP's being invalid / 'lost' on arrival when not using the link in the official invite)?

I'm hoping we get one too for our June/July trip. Not a deal breaker if we don't, but we've never eaten there and I'd like to say we've tried it, but not prepared to wait an hour or more in line for CS food in a nice room.

We leave in 3 days also but haven't received anything. Will we get it at check-in?

What does the email subject line say or who does it say the email is from? I'd hate for one to come and it goes in to the spam folder where my husband won't realize what it is. I'd like to keep a look out for it.

We got ours 28 days out. I was surprised it was so early. I know some said they got them after online check in but we checked in online only this past weekend. We go in 17 days.

I'm interested in the answer to this question.

It comes from Disney Destinations. The subject is "Dine at Be Our Guest Restaurant". Yes, don't delete! Lol!

 

[pigletgirl]

Do they send them out to everyone?

 

[CookieGVB]

I think mine was about 4 weeks or so out

Thank you. I could see DH thinking it's just spam and deleting it!

Our 28 days was this past Saturday and we got ours that day so it definitely seems like they are trying to increase the time frame

 

[Mrs Green]

Do they send them out to everyone?

This is my question too. What steps do I need to take to ensure or at least increase my chances of getting this?

 

[SweetMissy]

We leave in 24 days and we also got the same invite a few days ago and I checked and there's no FPs available for the days we're going to MK, so just for the heck of it, I checked every day we're at disney and nothing.

 

[DisneyAndRedSox]

We got ours 28 days before check in. I don't think DH got anything for our 2nd reservation 3 days later.
