Supper at Be Our Guest in July . . .
Spoke to a dining CM this morning about eating at BOG in July. She said they are not taking any July reservations and cancellations are not going back into the system, as they are overbooked.
Didn't ask her about June or August.
She also said her system was down this morning - 8:30 am CDT - and she couldn't make any reservations anywhere. I had called because I couldn't get through on the internet ressie system.
Only talked to this one CM so don't know how accurate this info is.

My goodness, they really need to stop rolling out the enhancements and start rectifying the MDE site. If they're overbooking restaurants I can't imagine what adding resort wide Fastpass+ to an already overworked/flawed system will do.

We were just there last week. I overheard someone asking about dinner reservations and the CM said they were booked through September.
We did lunch instead. I wasn't thrilled with it. It was fine but the food was nothing special. The restaurant is worth seeing. I was glad I didn't pay twice the price for dinner (I did have a coveted dinner reservation that I cancelled after having lunch there).

My son really wanted to eat at BOG during our July trip. I tried to get an ADR for months - hoping for a cancellation. I guess now I know why it didn't work out.

I got lucky and snagged a reservation last night for 9/19. I just kept checking the website for availability and one suddenly appeared!
If you are not able to get a reservation for dinner, I would do the lunch. If you don't mind the 45 min- 1 hour wait to get in, it's really nice. We did it in February and were not disappointed. Doesn't really feel like counter service because the food is served tableside and you get to pick which room you want to eat in.

I made a reservation for September, but I'm not sure if we should go for dinner or just go at lunch time. It sounds like the experience is pretty similar regardless of which meal you go for. Is that true? I don't really love the look of the dinner menu, I just thought it might be more convenient having a reservation since it sounds like the lunch time wait can be long. For anyone who has been, do you think I would see just as much going for lunch as going for dinner?

I actually felt like we got to see more at lunch. From what I understand, at dinner, you are assigned seating. At lunch, you get to pick which room you want to sit in. My daughter really wanted to sit in the west wing so we did. We were completely free to wander at lunch and check out all the rooms for as long as we wanted. We only waited 20 minutes, and that was last week.

Gee, I guess I should consider myself lucky that we got our reservation for June.

Luckily, the MDE has no connection to the "a la carte" system that is used by the Disney Dining line and the resort Concierge. It's just a system that goes down sometimes just like the room reservation system or the credit card machines at the merchandise locations.
In addition, last time I checked, you were unable to book BOG on MDE because it requires the credit card guarantee like signature experiences and character.

You will actually "see" more going for lunch because there is an additional room that is open for seating that is not open for dinner time. However, the Beast will not make appearances at lunch time only dinner.

I have heard from several CMs that there are no characters at all at the restaurant, lunch or supper.

Well, that is correct for lunch. There are no characters. However, it's very incorrect for dinner. I have pictures with the Beast from both times I've dined there for dinner. However, it's not a character dining experience where characters come around to the tables.

We just ate there on Sunday and I must say it was terrific! Everything from the food to service to the atmosphere was amazing. The beast makes an appearance every 20 mins or so. He doesn't stop just walks around checks both rooms and returns to where he came from. After dinner you can go into another room to meet him and have a pic taken. I was blown away by the huge window where they made it snow. It wasn't just falling but it was blowing in the wind and swirling all around. Also frost would form on the windows. Very cool. I asked one of our waitresses why is this not a 2 ticket place she said it was because there is a certain criteria that a restaurant must reach to be signature. One of them is having a full bar with top shelf liquors which BOG will never have. Therefore this should continue to be the best deal on property for years to come if you do the DDP.

What room is there snow in the window? We will have to be sure and check it out. we have ADR for Oct for 6 people but we need it for 7! The suggested I call to try and modify to add another person but so far no luck! They said we can also stop in at the restaurant when it opens that day to see if we can add the person. If we wait to do that and they say no then we cancel and have to pay the fee. Here's hoping for a modified reservation!!!

It's the main dining room, AKA "The Ballroom". It's the one modeled after the room that Belle and the Beast are dancing in during the movie. One end of the room is floor to ceiling windows, and behind it is projected snow and a landscape. It's pretty neat. I wish that it would change scenes...day to night, various seasons, etc. But i'll take it.
