I can not believe that we will be at the 180 day mark tomorrow! Any advice for me in regards to getting the ADR for BOG? I have tried the past 2 years and have been, so far, unsuccessful. I am determined this year to make it happen. 
I have never failed at 180 plus days. I think if you are staying at a Disney resort you can get a head start by using 180 + length of stay.

Thanks, Colonel! I thought about maybe trying to make it for our last day there thinking that might open things up a bit more for us.
I got an adr really easily at 180 + 9 days. So yes, make it at the end of your vacation and obviously when you phone/go online make BOG the first adr you book. Good luck

Be online at 6am tomorrow eastern time that is!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 2016 here we come!
I was online at 4am this morning booking and missed it completely (sat there for over an hour clicking like a mad woman and hoping) - so I wish you luck! MUCH LUCK!
No trips planned currently... But we're hopeful something in 2017!!!
I have my alarm set and I am ready to go tomorrow morning. I am just trying to figure out if I should get on the computer or try from my phone. I scored free dining using my phone in like 15 seconds compared to all the other horror stories I heard about, so I figure it might be a good luck charm. 
I managed to snag a reservation at 180+. Sending luck and pixie dust your way!

I have always booked using the computer. So far I have always been able to get what we wanted when booking at the 180+. Hope you get what you want!
Weekday instead of weekend may help also. Just a theory of mine. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Crossing my fingers for you. Let us know how it goes.
I got it!! I actually had a choice of 3 times for November 2nd, which is a Monday and my last full day there! I also got an ADR for Beaches and Cream and 50's Primetime Cafe (DH is a huge 50's fan, so that was one of his only requests). So excited!!! 
YAY!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!!

Congratulations!! 
Way to go your two for two (free dining and BOG)! 50's prime time has great milk shakes and if you like cheese get the fried herb and garlic cheese so yummy.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! It was the place of my favorite dinner last trip! I can only hope you have the same magical time!

I'm too late it looks like, but I'll add my input anyways. I've never had issues with getting a BOG reservation by booking at 180 days out with the 10 day on-site resort window and by booking BOG first when going through and booking my reservations. For those elusive reservations I ALWAYS book online as you can can book earlier in the morning then you can if you wait for the phone system.
