Be Our Guest Test Lunch FP+

[GoBlueLacheta]

May have been touched on I'm not sure, but I just received an email indicating that I was able to participate in a test lunch for FP+ at BOG for my upcoming trip in a few weeks.

It did not take away from my other 3 FP for MK that day btw.

You pre-order your food, no payment required until everything is confirmed at the park, and have a 30 min window to arrive at BOG.

Anyone else experience this already ?

Yes, we did this back in November of last year. I think this "test" started a few months before our trip, so it's been going for about a year now. It was really nice being able to skip the long line.

We got our email a couple of weeks ago and after a small glitch which I caused, the log in and choosing what day and time we wanted lunch went well.

First of all this fast pass will not affect other fast passes as they are not connected. The only issue would be if you have a regular fast pass that would conflict with your lunch time you select.

When logging in please do not do as I did and try to log in using a first and last name as they would appear on your WDW travel documents.

I kept putting in my full first name instead of the shortened version and it kept kicking me out. As soon as I checked my reservation Information I found my mistake.

We have already made our lunch selections and will not be charged for them until we check in at the restaurant. If there is a no show you will not be charged to your credit card, ect.

Hope this helps....

Yes, we got this notification as well. It worked out great for us since our last day at MK we made no dining reservations for the day!
Now we have a lunch at BOG

We also had made a dinner reservation for BOG earlier in the week and are looking forward to experiencing both lunch and dinner

Just so others will know, you don't have to have an email invitation to book this special BOG FP. Disney is just not advertising it, but anyone with a reservation number can sign up for one. You have to wait until a just few weeks before your arrival, when times will open for your stay, but anyone with a resort ressie can go to the BOG FP site and sign up.

Yes, my wife and I have pre ordered for lunch on Sept. 4th.

[sonamae80]

Yes, we got the email too! We'll be there for lunch on Sept. 12th! Can't wait!

We got the email last Tuesday, which would be right at 3 weeks out from our trip. So maybe there's still hope for you!

[garthbarth1]

Thanks so much!! I appreciate the info! I will keep checking

[awaggett]

As previous poster mentioned (and there are several other threads on this topic!); we've done the BoG FP twice, and never received the email invitation--it is not necessary.

Definitely check it out, it was worth it.

Again, No Email Needed. Just go to the beourguestlunch site and keep checking back. We got in 26 days from out arrival date. Before that it says "No Times Available, choose another day. We were able to choose the time we wanted on our Magic Kingdom Day, followed by a 7DMT Fastpass.

I know there are a couple of threads on this, but this seems to be the most recent.

We used our BOG FP+ today. I never received the email, but just went onto the site and booked, and all was perfect.

When we arrived (12:10pm) there was a CM with a sign saying that the restaurant had reached capacity for the day. After we ate, out of interest, I asked her at what time does it reach capavity, when are all of the standby tickets given out? I was a little surprised when she told me "some days we don't both with standby at all, FP takes all of the times up".

I don't know how true that it, but I wanted to encourage anyone who was thinking about lunch at BOG and who can book a FP+ for it, to be sure and do so ... seems like it is getting harder and harder to walk up.

We are 30 days out and I am trying to book a FP for BOG via the website.
I can log in but when it comes to entering the reference details it keeps saying that the reservation and ID do not match!
I have tried my full first name, shortened and initial and nothing is working - can you help at all?
BTW I have an initial booking reference and a different reservation number - it won't even let me put the reservation number in, only the booking ref, but it still doesn't work.

Did you book it the same way you get FP for the rides? When was it available?

[JoF]

I've logged into the BOG website and I can log in with my usual Disney Password. It then comes up with my first name and surname and then asks me to put my reference number in. This is where is says that my name and ID do not match the reservation

[VWL Mom]

Just a reminder to take a screen shot of your confirmation. I had gotten the email and booked the fp for our trip. Checked in yesterday and there was no record of it. I had my screen shot so they got a manager and let us in.

Did you register on the BoG website? Sounds like you did, but yet, somehow didn't...

And what reference number are you using? The one with letters or the 12 digit one with all numbers and no letters? You have to use the 12 digit number without any letters...

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

The whole reservation is a bit of a challenge!

For us, the email never arrived, so I just went to the site 27 days ahead and booked, using the 12-digit numeric confirmation number.

Even without the email, (and I did take a screen shot just to be sure), it made it into the system and all was good.

But, the system "lost" a number of pre-orders, so most people had to order again, which was rather funny when no one knew what they wanted.

Make sure the name on the reservation and the name on your Disney account are the same. I read a thread here that the person used a nickname for their account (i.e.: Mike) but the reservation was under their full name (i.e.: Michael) and they needed to change them both to Michael to get it to work.
