Very limited BOG hours in September?

[Shroog]

I am trying to get an ADR for a party night too at the end of Sept, but I am just looking for between 4pm and 6pm and still can't get anything for the 3 different party nights that week. We just do dessert, so I don't even need prime "dinner" time.

So my plan was to try for a 6:45 or 7:00 reservation on a party night but not the night we planned on going to the party, I thought because the park was closed at 7 it may still work but are you saying we couldn't have gone those nights without a Halloween party ticket ?

You could have gone but I believe they are trying to prevent people from having an excuse to be in the park any time during the party. If you think of a standard 90 minute turn over if they stop accepting dinning reservations at 6pm then it is possible most people will be done by 7:30 and escorted out of the park before the parade even started. Just theories but it is a better operating system then letting people book until 7 and having to figure out a way to get them out of the park while seeing nothing. I believe they were using the mainstreet exit and walking people the log way around through tomorrowland and then through the backstage exit but that isn't very fast or convenient.

Just got our dinner ADR for 9/4! I am surprising my sister on her birthday in July and giving her a print out saying "dinner is on me, we have reservations at Be Our Guest on 9/4 at 6pm!!!" So happy! We weren't even planning on going there this trip, but I figured why not. It is her favorite restaurant for dinner.

Did all of Sept open up? I still can't find anything for 9/11 or 9/16? I couldn't have missed it I've been checking once an hour

No, back when I was checking a couple of hours ago when all the reservation opened up for 9/10, I couldn't find anything for 9/11 (as an example, I didn't check 9/16)

9/11 is MNSSHP, though. And tickets haven't come out, so, I'm sure that once ticket prices have been announced and you've bought a ticket that the times will open up.

Got my reservation for the 12th at 6:15!!!!! so Happy!!! Now all my Reservations are COMPLETE!!!

Nabbed BOG for 2 at 6:15 on 9/22.

Scared myself, because I started out in Firefox, where I have my cross-site security set in a way that seems to break the Disney Find A Table link. So I switched to Safari (which I keep with a default configuration for just such problems) and was able to get the reservations.

But they're going fast. Only two choices were offered instead of the usual three when reservations are wide open.

I would never go on a party night. Do not want to end a magical dinner with an escorted walk out of the park being made to feel like I am tying o get something for free! No prep walk for me

Got the exact dates and times I wanted!

I changed things around and was able to get the time I wanted on a different day! I agree I didn't think about that at first!

I knew it. We went out of town and had no signal. I got into range this morning and had alerts from touring plans and I panicked. It was 1:00!!Couldn't get the website to work so I called and got exactly what I wanted- sept 9th-6:20 dinner for 6!!!

 

[wdw4rfam]

I am waiting for 9/11 or 9/16 to open up, I am constantly checking

That stinks because the 9th is wide open.

Just wondering has anyone had any luck getting reservations combined? Now that I have the 2 tables of 8 that are only 5 minutes apart we are hoping to go early and ask to get our 16 seats as close as possible. I just feel like it is better for everyone to only have to buy 1 ticket and not be rushed out the party night and our big table is on the party night with no hope of moving to the next night right now.
