Will we have time?

[CurleeQ]

I just scored a dinner Be our Guest reservation for 6:20. We have a Wishes fastpass for a night that has 8pm fireworks (We would like to see Celebrate The Magic as well). Do you think we would have enough time to eat and get to the fastpass area?

Yes- you *should* have just enough time, but make sure you check in early for dinner. We often check in before our ADR time and are called 10-15 minutes after the reservation time.

Thanks!

You can make it but you will be pushing it. When we ate at BOG it was about hour and a half for dinning, then we took some time for pictures with the beast, and to look around so another 30 to 45 minutes.
As far as being seated on time, or within 10 minutes you will be lucky. Some friends went had a ADR for 7:15 and were not seated until, 7:45. So just putting that out there so you will be aware.

It can definitely be done but like others said just make sure you're on time. FYI, the last two times I've eaten at BOG (one lunch and one dinner) I have been told I can't check in more than 5 minutes prior to my reservation. Assuming that's because they were so busy.

Agree with the prior posters. We had an early dinner last time and wound up being seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. The food came pretty quickly and we were out within an hour.

Our experiences have been the opposite. We have had dinner there four times and been seated at least 1/2 hour late-sometimes more-every time. Also, they do not allow you to check in early there, unlike other locations. IMO, you will not make the FP without rushing through your meal AND getting lucky.

Agreed here too! They are sticklers at BOG about not checking in *too* early... So you are between a rock and a hard place, but I think it could be doable (you might have to skip pics with the beast). That said, try to get there 15-20 minutes early anyways. You never know... There is usually a line to check in too here, that can kill a good 10 mins of your 'early' arrival time. They are however, consistently late to call you, but it really depends, a couple times we have been called on time. We have successfully allocated 1.5 hours at BOG whilst crunched in between 2 FP+s without issue (and actually enjoyed dinner - didn't feel rushed). It's our favorite!!!

Just wanted to give you all an update! We were able to successfully eat at BOG and make Celebrate the Magic and Wishes! We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation (6:30 for 6:20 reservation). We told our server our plan to be out before Celebrate the Magic and he made it happen. We had dinner and dessert and didn't feel rushed. It was just delivered fast per our request. After dinner we didn't have that much extra time so we skipped the beast and made our way to the fastpass area. We were in the area around 7:40. So yes it could be done!

I am happy I stumbled upon this post!! I had the exact same question. We have a BOG reservation for 6:20 & the same FB for Wishes. I am hoping we get this lucky!

But only if you don't want to see the Beast
