Be Our Guest

Afternoon all.

We fly out September for two weeks. We went the exact same time last year and as newbies (we've both only ever been before with our parents- so no planning for us) we didn't book dining the 180 days ahead as didn't realise. We nabbed a last minute cancellation at Be Our Guest last year which I now realise was really lucky!

This year though I am on it! I would love to go back again but it has been fully booked the full two weeks of our stay. I have looked several times but no joy. Is it worth me keep checking this early or wait until we are there? I don't know whether it is likely a cancellation will come up now or if I should just hope whilst we are there?

Any one had any experience?

Thanks

I find these things are more likely to pop up a day or so before than months before. People change plans while on holiday so cancel their ADRs. I�d keep checking but you may find it more likely you get it over there.

Thank you! Feel rather lucky we got a place last year now

It�s probably worth keeping checking or set up an alert-can�t remember how! However best time to look is the 60 and 30 day FastPass windows as that�s when people really start changing their plans

Thanks to a fellow dibber, I found out about Mousedining. You can set up to 6 alerts free. I am in a similar position as I moved my dates back by 1 week, so I went from having ever ADR I needed to none at all. I've managed to get everything apart from BOG breakfast and lunch and Storybook Dining. I also have alerts set up on Touring Plans. They did find one, but it came through at 11.30pm and I missed the email. Apart from that, 60 days is a good time to look as folks change their plans depending on fastpass availability.

touringblog - touringplans/walt-disney...rvation-finder - have a system that will alert you when a reservation becomes available. I used this for Storybook Dining for May. It was really helpful as meant I didn't have to keep checking every day. You do have to be on the ball once you get notification but its free to do and you can redo as many times as needed

We go in September too. We kept checking every day and a lunch time reservation popped up so we quickly grabbed it!

We go in July and we have several reservations in BOG. We won't be using them all and will cancel the ones we don't want nearer the time as our plans firm up.

I can't imagine we are the only people to do this so I'm sure availability will open up later for you.
