I have two weeks and a day before I can make my ADRs. Just wondering how successful everyone has been getting ADRs for dinner at Be Our Guest. I would probably need it for the first or second night of our trip, so I'm worried that I might have trouble.

I'd suggest getting into the system as soon as you are able in the morning and selecting that reservation before you make any other dining reservations.

It remains a difficult and elusive reservation to get even though the dining venue is quite large.

I was able to get an adr for our trip around Labor Day. Good luck

I would definitely have a backup day later in your trip. Getting one on the second day may be pretty hard. Be ready to enter another date that's later right away to find availability.

We booked BOG for the 6th day of our 10 day trip last December (originally tried for the 4th day, but no luck). Had to adjust our time by only 15 minutes. We sat close to the windows in the main ballroom. It looked so pretty at Christmas!!

Good luck!!

I tried to book the table for the last day of our seven day trip right at the 180 day mark and as soon as the website opened. No luck.

BUT...

I kept checking back on a daily basis and was able to book something for the middle of our trip about two months after I originally made reservations. I'd say, if you don't get it when you first book keep checking back because things open up.

If I can't get the day I want I'll try another day but it still will be within others 180 day mark...I guess I'll book something else just in case and then keep checking back if I can't get it right away:(

Not to dampen the mood, but I would definitely try for another day later in your trip. My 180 day window opened up on April 4th, for our 7 day trip, and there were no openings for the first four days of our trip. What was left for the 5-6th days were very limited, and late at night. We ended up with a 4:05 reservation for our last day, which I'm not sure we will be able to make... and I may end up cancelling it.

Long story, short.... for your best chances (because of the 180 + 10 days) the later in your trip, the better your chances of snagging a reservation!

We were lucky, when our 180 day window opened we were on line at 7am...couldn't get a ADR for 9, but got one for 8 and another five minutes later for 1. I will sit with hubby if they can't squeeze 9 at the table. We did snag one last week for lunch FP+, for our first day at the parks!

We booked @ the 180 day mark for the 6th day of our trip. We had to book dinner a few hours earlier than we wanted to ( 4:20pm ), but we got it. That was for 7 people.

I think your chances are good.:thumbsup:

We got ADRs there for day 8 of our 9 day trip with no problem. Figured it would be a good way to close out our trip, as it's the last dinner we have at WDW.

Didn't try for any of the earlier days. But like everyone else has said, go for a later day in your trip, and go online early, and you should be fine.

Early would be good because we want it for the night of the MNSSHP

I booked exactly 180 days out as soon as online ADRs opens up. I got BOG for 6pm in August!
Good luck!!

I have been lucky for the past 2 years to get reservations to BOG..the trick for me has been to call at 7am (est) directly to the WDW line. The agents were able to help us out...

I was thinking if I couldn' get it online giving them a call just to see

We got our adr by calling. I had tried online but had no luck. We are a party of 12 and we got our reservation for our 3rd day. Good luck.

I hate to say this, but party nights are probably THE toughest nights to get a ressie, because everyone has the same idea... Eat early before the party starts. Don't know if the ressies are easier for later in the night.

I tried to do that in December, and that's why I had to book the different night. The party was on the 4th or 5th night of our trip, and no tables were available. We went to a Tuesday night party.

I may just try for another night you are probably right

My 180 window was today & there was only one slot open for BOG, for our last day at 4:20 pm. Granted, that wasn't the first reservation I attempted so it's possible there was something else available when I first signed on, but I was just happy to snag one.

We booked our package later than usual, so we were already well within the 180 day mark when I started looking for ADRs. We have two MK days that I have been trying to get dinner reservations for with no luck - until today! :mickey: I scored a reservation for our 2nd MK day (5/4) at 6:15pm.

Just a head's up: I was leaving a tab open so that I could just pop on and check for ADRs whenever I had a moment. Checked, saw the time open, selected it, then got asked to log in because it had logged me out after a certain amount of time. Logged in thinking it would just continue letting me make the res, but it didn't! It popped me back to the screen to check for times. I was sure it would be gone, but it was there, I selected it, put all of our names in, went to confirm and I got a server down screen. :mad: Hit the back button, tried to confirm again, same thing. Went through this about 3-4 times before it went through and I was so sure it would be gone! Anyway, it ended well, but just wanted to share what happened.

Be flexible for ANY night that you might want to go to BOG. I called at our 180 day mark and that was the first reservation I asked for AND got it:thumbsup:

Even the lady that was helping me was surprised...LOL. We were at WDW the first week in December, 2013 and we were not able to get in at all:(

Hope you get your reservation. Have a great trip!

Thanks for all the input. I really would like it for the night of the MNSSHP but am not going to be disappointed if I can get it the other day we are at MK....I've seen several people say they got early ADRS like around 420, which would actually be great because we would be done way before the party starts and not rushed.

Like I said... Early ADR's before any party are tough. Just have a backup date.

I wanted a 4pm or 4:30pm ressie before MVMCP. There was nothing available through at least 7pm. I didn't want to eat while the party was going on, so I didn't check for anything later. This was a Tuesday night. Also keep in mind... Those without party tickets can make ADR's at the same time, so you're not just up against party guests!

I lucked out when I called this past Monday for BOG. It was already pretty slim pickings at that point but the Disney agent was able to book me for 5:10 on Friday of the week I'm there. I hope there will be a MNSSHP for that night.
