I don't hold multiple reservations as I do not think it is fair on other people (like the OP) who are trying to get in. Why should someone who books multiple ADRs for BOG on the second it's available have the 'luxury' of picking and choosing when there, yet someone else who may not have time to book ADRs at 11am on the dot has to "keep trying".

I also noticed your 15 days passed your 180 day mark..I made my first ten ADRS on Sunday which was our 180+10 day and got all my restaurant choices including BOG..All you can do is keep checking for cancellations, I wouldn't depend on just walking up..

Have to say I agree with this I just don't understand why people have to hold multiple reservations for the same day. I thought it used to be our cousin's across the pond but it seems to have spread over here. The only reason people cancel is because they will get charged if they don't.

I’m offsite so having to book day by day this was my last chance to get something and still nothing!

I was pretty horrified when Disney started charging for missed rezzies (because I never booked "back-up" meals) - but at least it does mean that a lot of the popular restaurants are available for booking the day before. So that's something.

And truthfully, I am far more likely to know where I'll be TOMORROW than where I'll want to be in six months.


Having said that, I still wish they'd adopt the Disneyland system and only book meals 60 days out. That way the park hours would be way less likely to change. And people wouldn't book fourteen BOG breakfasts to ensure they get the one they actually want.

I managed to get a BOG dinner reservation recently with Tourist Plans Reservation Finder. Once alerted you have to be really quick booking it though. The first one I received I just wasn't quick enough and lost it.

I am generally against the practice but I have a few multiple reservations because:

1. I don't know yet what FPs I will be able to get so not 100% sure what park(s), we will be in on every single day
2. I am waiting for some reviews of the BOG new dinner sitting before deciding to cancel either a dinner or lunch.

But I will cancel the reservation as soon as these plans are firmed up.

It appears to get everything you want, you need to be really organised or just get lucky - agree this is not very fair.

Have a look at your 60 day mark as that’s when the onsite multi reservation booking people release theirs . You don’t stand much chance at 180 days offsite because onsite grab multiple . Offsite you tend to book the one you need or rejiggle your plans to fit. The 2ts obviously isn’t putting people off .
Keep trying x

I would just keep looking. I forgot to book at 180 days (the trip was a secret until Christmas and I stupidly didn’t give it a thought until I was wrapping the countdown and had a slight meltdown!) Nevertheless I have managed to get breakfast and lunch. I could have had dinner last night but decided against it-I check through the app every few days. I’ve cancelled some as better times have shown. You will find some I’m sure, fingers crossed.
