Timing FP - BOG - FP

[Average Joes]

We have MVMCP on a Sunday mid-Nov. BOG reservations at 4:25. A&E FP at 5:30-6:30. Talking Mickey FP at 4-5.

I understand that we can get there for 4 for MVMCP. Any opinions if they will let us in earlier due to the BOG reservation? I fear that the crowd getting in for 4 would be large. Is talking Mickey pushing it? What about A&E?

Thank-you in advance for any suggestions/opinions.

I don't think they will let you in any earlier than 4, regardless of your reservation. If you are there a bit before 4 and you go straight to Talking Mickey - straight to BOG - straight to A&E, I think your plan is do-able.

Not you, specifically, but there are days when they will open up the Party entrance gates at 3:45pm.
No way to know in advance. Just be there early and stay alert.

I think you can do it if you rush it. FP from what I know actually open up about 5 minutes before your actual FP reservation. (I've experienced this and I've heard people confirm it but I would look it up again just to be sure). Ask the cast member how long they think the FP line is and judge for yourself if you have enough time. Also I've spoken to someone at Disney about being late for a dining reservation and they told me they usually allow a 15 minute window but being that this is the newest restaurant with the most demand I would try not to push it. If you get out of meeting Mickey around the time of your BOG reservation just call them and say you are on the way and book it! Good luck!

I think time-wise you will be fine. Be at gate before 4pm. FP+ you can get in 5 minutes early (and possibly 15 minutes late). BOG is very strict with their ADR times, when we were there they wouldn't even let us check in more than 5 minutes early, I would not want to get there too late.

Thank-you for the help! We will get there by 3:45 and cross our fingers.
