Yesterday’s post about how to increase your odds of getting a Be Our Guest reservation got tons of comments and responses, both on this site and on the many Facebook pages that shared it (and thanks to all those who shared and/or liked the post and/or commented!!).
Rather than respond to each comment, let me group the key points into one place here, in no particular order. (The links are to example comments on the point.)
- Some people do have no trouble getting a booking for 180 days out. (I saw this in particular in comments on the various Facebook shares)
- Many people do have success with the recommended strategy
- People do cancel their reservations, so rechecking closer to your dates—even the day before—can really pay off!
- It’s simply not true that Disney World holds back some reservations to guarantee 180 day availability—although it does sometime have technical difficulties that have a similar effect!!
- Walking up to the (counter service) lunch is an option—aim to arrive 1.15p or a little later
Thanks again to DisneyDiningAgent whose original comment kicked all this off!
Any key points I missed?

Jennifer, if you have daughters between 4 and 8, I’d go with Cindy. If they have grown out of the princess age–or if they are boys :)–I’d do BOG.

Hi Dave, so I’m trying to get some things sorted out for our trip in March, 2014. I’ve been reading about the Be Our Guest restaurant for dinner, and I would like to maybe try fitting it in. Is it worth going to instead of Cindy’s Table? Or should I do some juggling and see if I can get it into my itinerary with Cindy’s Table?
