Lunch only. Dinner is regular reservations.
I've never read any information posted under "news" on WDWMagic before (the website, not the forum section) that was incorrect, until now. Perhaps they are suffering from their own success, because I have come to trust what I read on this site (again, the site, not the forums) more than what Disney itself says. Their information has historically been accurate and comes ahead of Disney's "official" announcements.
In this case, clearly, not all onsite guests are able to make BOG FP+ -- there is still some pre-selection process, or some time window, that is limiting them. I am an onsite guest. I am properly registered and the BOG lunch FP+ recognizes my confirmation numbers and MME account information. I could not have 'missed' a time window, as I check the BOG lunch FP+ site multiple times per day and have done so for more than a month, so clearly there's something stopping me from access (and WDW still says the preselection is random and limited). I'm just hoping that in a couple of days when I'm 30 day from arrival, something will happen.
I know you're not being rude and I take no offense to your post! The only thing that annoys me is all the people who sniff and say, "Huh. But I could do it" as though that settles the matter for the rest of us ("us" meaning the onsite guests who have diligently tried to get BOG FP+ reservations and been unsuccessful) -- all it does is make us jealous.

As always, I only post items that I fully believe to be correct. As I'm not Disney, I do not have access to all of the fine details, but in this case, I do have extremely reliable information that tells me that the policy is now that ALL resort guests are eligible. Now that does not mean that it will work for everyone, because as we know, there are some issues with MyMagic+, and there have been a number of bugs and complexities that have prevented people from doing certain things. I also can't speak for the timeframe of booking, that is completely at Disney's discretion. But it still does not change the main subject of my news item, which was that all resort guests are now eligible.I've never read any information posted under "news" on WDWMagic before (the website, not the forum section) that was incorrect (or at least hyperbolic), until now.

I don't know whether this is relevant but when I was an onsite guest in December, I was unable to book the date until I wanted until 10 days out (and I was checking like a crazy person at least once or twice a day for weeks beforehand). It was slightly different to what you're describing as the date was blanked out completely but as frustrating as it is, it's worth persevering and checking, just in case
From what I am reading on other sites, May reservations will be available somewhere between April 14-April 20th. Each month it opens for the next months somewhere in that 14th-20th date range. I am going in May, so I am going to start clicking that link and trying to make a reservation on 4/14.I've never read any information posted under "news" on WDWMagic before (the website, not the forum section) that was incorrect (or at least hyperbolic), until now.

Mine is doing the same thing. I read that it should change over to your new reservation when you get closer to time (possibly when the 60 day FP+ window opens?). Guess we'll have to wait and see. My next trip isn't until June, but my window opens up April 23, so I am anxiously waiting to see what happens.
I was at right about 40 days when the first 6 days of my trip opened up. The last day of my trip which was the first day of March, didn't open up until about 2 weeks prior to. Good luck!
Log on and try it now!! There was only one available for the first day of our trip, but I got one for 5/14!!
No problem! So happy it worked for you!!
I'm so thankful for this site. I jumped on for a few minutes and saw this and was able to get fastpasses for us and for the people who are joining us. There is a 10 minute difference in the times, but they overlap, so no biggie.
