Another (Sorry!)FP+ BOG Question...

[mamatedd]

After trying for months to get a FP @BOG for our upcoming trip, today, it finally worked!!! As I was doing my happy dance & logged in to exclaim my joy, another similar post caught my eye. Another poster had similar success, but a reply said she had to have an email invite for her FP to work. Now I am worried. Can anyone offer anymore info? Thank you!

Either way, 26 days out!!!!

We did not have an invite in November and the FP we made for BOG worked just fine.

I have read quite a few reports on other sites where people have not had an invitation but had no problems. They did take their confirmation number with them though. Our poster was the first time I heard that you needed an invitation.

Thank you for the quick replies! However, I do not have a confirmation#, just a "you have reserved a FP" on the BOG website. Is the # maybe the one I used to book it? Thank you, again, in advance. If it doesn't work out, we're still in WDW!

Print out that page and take it with you. We had 5 rooms booked at BOG for Thanksgiving and none of us had an invite. We printed the page that showed our reservation from the BOG site and took them with us. We were not asked to show proof or confirmation numbers, we were all in the system by name when we showed up. We just brought the print out in incase.

Thank you, Denise! It was due to your tips that we (and I'm sure many others) got the FP to begin with! I will def print out the page... Really wanting to see the inside of that castle, and lunch seems perfect!

Sorry, meant confirmation. I took the screen grab with me. Sorry for the confusion.

I hope my post didn’t get you nervous. I just wanted to make sure people knew this could happen. If I were you I would call guest relations and ask what the procedure is. I was really upset at the fact that I rushed to get there only to be turned away. Living in FL I have the chance to get back to the parks often, but for someone traveling here for a once or twice a year vacation it would be upsetting to get the front only to be turned away because of a conformation you didn't know you needed. Like other posters have said snapshot your screen and just double check everything went through… Good luck

[mamatedd]

Thanks, Minnie04! Indeed, it was your post that sent me into panic spiral-LOL! Like, literally, LOL! I am getting too caught up in details, and it is LUNCH for goodness sake! Thanks for the warning. I hope it works out, but, if not, we're still @ Disney!!!

[mickeys_princess_mom]

I'm hoping for a repeat of our great experience from the last trip! We were definitely in the system. As advised here, I took a snapshot with my phone of the screen, just to be sure, but we were ok! Looking forward to it!

[mamatedd]

Me too! Good luck!

Exactly, that's what I said. It would have been cool to do for lunch, but whatever, we can try again another time.I mean we could have waited out the line. I was just excited to see how it worked inside. My Aunt had just come back and raved about it so much that I wanted to try it. oh well next time

How far in advance can you book FP. My 180 days is tomorrow and I was hoping for dinner but would like to have lunch if that doesn't work out.

[mamatedd]

Well, wildernesslady, the whole process seems to be shrouded in mystery! Lol! I started trying about 90 days out & hit success at 27 days out. Your guess is as good as mine! Good luck!

I just got mine!!! I've been trying since day 180, I am at day 59!

I didn't receive an e-mail either, just got the link from here! Screened shot my confirmation!

[mamatedd]

Good for you, SuzieBell! I have even less understanding of the whole process, LOL, but congrats!!!

[wildernesslady]

What is the link?

[minnie04]

This is the email link I got. I think it's only good for April. Good luck I hope someone can use it

We have gotten FP for BOG on two different trips and had no problems. I didn't have a confirmation# nor did I print anything out and it worked fine. Good Luck!

[mamatedd]

Thanks MariMouse! Minnie04, I think that's just the link anyone can go to to make a FP+ for BOG. I don't think that's by invitation or expires. If I'm wrong, please correct me, but I think it's sort of an "open invite" for those staying on property.
