If you got a BOG dinner after your 180 ADR date

[wdwpracticalprincess]

Just got BOG dinner 6:10pm for early Oct on a party night -- today at 58 days out! Don't give up!

We are going 12/2-12/9 and I had nothing available at my 180 days. I was able to pick up dinner from the ADR Cancellation thread and then breakfast opened and I got that as well!! Now I am just waiting for CRT

I got one today for my MNSSHP thanks to Disney Dining Buddy. I'm holding out hope for one for my MVMCP day, too. I'd never used a alert service before, and, honestly, it was worth every penny to get that MNSSHP ADR today.

If I had to guess, Disney only offers up reservations for the Ballroom and the West Wing first and then as it gets closer to dates, if scheduling in the kitchen/servers allows, they add reservations to spill over into the Music Box room.

I booked my trip less than 180 days out and could only get a breakfast ADR for my December trip when they first announced them. My DD REALLY wants to see it so I was happy about it,. But I didn't check the breakfast menu beforehand and later realized that my DH was not going to be to happy with the $21.99 fixed price menu - especially since I knew we'd end up with 4 cronuts for $88!! So I just kept checking every day to see if something would open for lunch or dinner. This week one ADR popped up on the exact day I wanted for lunch - I couldn't believe my luck. The time is 10:50 am for lunch - but whatever - we'll just skip breakfast! Keep checking.

I did not get BOG dinner at 180, but got it about a month later when I was randomly searching. AND we are a large party - 9 - so I am shocked I got one!

I booked late but after looking for months myself for BOG dinner, I called Disney dining early Monday morning and they had a 7:05 reservation for October 30. I screamed into the phone hooray! Keep trying.

I couldn't get it at my 180 date, but did get it about a month later.

I'm using a scouting app ( Disney dining buddy ) and this week, at least once daily, I've gotten alerts for BOG and CRT.

Last time I booked BOG dinner it was in the same week as my 180. Now lunch was a different story... that took a good 6 weeks to be able to get my party of 7 at close-ish times.

I have always gotten BOG after my 180+. one time I actually got it 3 days prior to check in. You have to be consistent and diligent. The magic can happen.

This upcoming trip I would say I secured it 90 days out along with a pre RD breakfast about 80 days out

This is totally the way to go. We have booked flights, rooms, and BOG at 45 days, 25 days and 10 days out. I am not a good pre-planner and ******** & Disney Dining Buddy are totally fun to use and worth every penny.

Got a BOG lunch just now for Oct. 6. . It is possible. Just keep watching.

I got mine for a MNSSHP night by luck on MDE. I am now looking for one on a different night. We are at 48 days out. Hopefully something will come open...

I booked about45 days out...have been checking every day and finally got one! I double checked it 3 times and really wanted to pinch myself to see if it was real! It can happen!
