It is crazy having to book so far in advance, just makes some things a bit more stressful. My daughter managed to book a table in November right on 180 days. She had to look at a few different dates, but was lucky! I think I wouldn't bother trying to make a reservation if it caused me that much stress - happy to use QS & enjoy all the other things that I love about Disney. Good luck x

I agree with @sweetpee_1993 keep trying! It's a similar situation to the coveted cabanas on Castaway Cay when you take a Disney cruise. Those suckers book up so fast! We were out of luck in getting one but I kept trying every single day, multiple times a day and one day, one opened up! So persistance does pay off sometimes! Keep checking!!

With the cancellation policy in effect now, definitely look in the days leading up to the date you want the ADR. People are a lot more careful to cancel now if they won't be using their ADR than they were before the cancellation penalty went into effect!

And if for whatever reason you can't get in, read a lot of the reviews for this place, many of which are terrible, and you might feel less upset that you didn't go. Ya know, sour grapes and all that. Anyway, it worked for me.

LOL, @BuddyThomas, I totally relate to this. Maybe because we're both from NYC.

Ha, yup pretty much. I don't mind planning but I know how much my nieces would love BoG so I've been obsessively stalking the website trying to nab a reservation. Thank goodness I have two weeks at the Outerbanks coming up where I'll actually relax on vacation.

You don't call booking dining 6 months out and FP 2 months out stress free? And having multiple back up plans?

Heading for the great escape.
I must have been lucky, or just a valued guest.

I just made my ADR and I got BOG easily and had a choice of several times and it was for Thanksgiving week. The only thing I had any problems with was Chef Mickeys on our arrival day, and I got it just not crazy about the time.

At how many days were you able to get BOG? I couldn't get it for 180+5 but I've read multiple posts about it being available at 180+7 or higher.

You know I guarantee you that there are tiered levels of seating. A set aside amount of tables for walk in guests. Reservations looked pretty well booked solid and when we ate there monday only half of the room was filled (if that). Maybe businesses are gobbling up reservations for clients and cancelling them when their not needed. Just a couple guesses.

When we were there last your every single table was occupied and as soon as they would clear off a table they would seat someone else, it is weird that it was so empty for you. I also found it odd people were having so much trouble getting it at 180 + days out. Our 180+ 9 started today and there were and still are multiple times available for 180 + 3 out, infact there are tons of times still showing available, even for thanksgiving day.
