    I absolutely love the Beast and he is the only character I have to see every time I come to Disney World. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make reservations to BOG. Is it possible to still meet the Beast without dining at BOG?

    Howdy, Maggie!

    Who doesn't love the cuddle-able, sometimes grumpy, but oh so adorable Beast? He's one of my favorites, too, and I also like to plan a visit to his castle in order to enjoy a delicious meal at Be Our Guest Restaurant and hope to get a glimpse of him at dinner. 

    Unfortunately, but understandably, the Beast is a bit apprehensive about leaving the protection of his castle. Especially with Gaston occasionally wandering about the village just outside the gates. I definitely recommend continuing to check the reservations as you never know when something may open up. If you are still unable to make one, you may ask as a walk-up the day of. My family did not have a reservation a trip or two ago, but found ourselves hungry as we walked by and were able to snag one last minute. 

    Also, be aware that a new enhanced dining experience will be debuting at Be Our Guest Restaurant on July 27, 2018, so there may also be changes to when/if Beast is available. 

    Thank you for visiting us, Maggie, and please come back again with any other questions you may have.

    Magical Wishes,
