We return to NFL for dinner at BOG...our wonderful travel agent from Travel Beyond, woke up at 5 AM to book this for us 180 days in advance while were away on an ABD in the Galapagos. I was so delighted when she got the ressie for me!
The lunch is still "walk in" and the line was about an hour long at 11:30 AM when we saw people lining up in the AM. There were people waiting on the bridge for "walk in" dinner reservations, they were there when we arrived and checked in and they were still there when we were escorted inside to our table about 10 minutes later. If you cant get ressies for dinner or score the new FP they are testing with WDW resort guests, be prepared for a looong wait!
Be Our Guest Dinner:
Girls "gargoyling" outside on the bridge to BOG
The Ballroom:
The rose in the "West Wing"
Beast makes an appearance then is available after dinner for photos in the library:
Dessert cart at BOG:
My daughters loved BOG; they felt theming made them feel like they were in their favorite childhood movie! The "effects" inside are really neat; The amazing chandelier, the "snow" outside the ballroom, the "torn" curtains and the holographic "rose" and the portrait that "changes" with the lightening in the West Wing. The beast is introduced as your "host and parades through waving, and you really DO feel like his guest! The West Wing has the cool effects, but is a little dark and closed in, the Ballroom is the place to be, request it if you can! Don't forget to get a pic of the mosaic art work by the bathrooms, and listen to the suits of armor on the way out.
After a huge, delicious dinner at BOG. we watch the Electric Light parade, then after running into friends with whom we took an ABD to Galapagos in August and coincidentally have FPs for Big Thunder Mountain for the exact same return window- we ride BTM with our old friends!! After waving goodbye to them, we go to the Hall of Presidents for the last show...and
...and now it is time for the fireworks!
