Hi Tara,
Belle has always been a favorite in our house. We like independent young women who read!
By all means, if you can get an advanced dining reservation,
Be Our Guest is worth it. The food is delicious, and the interior of the restaurant makes you feel as if you have stepped directly into the story. I'm not sure which room I like best: the West Wing, the ballroom or the Rose Gallery.
Because Be Our Guest is new and very popular, reservations can be difficult to obtain. Be sure you try to book as early as possible, up to 180 days in advance.
If you can't get a dinner reservation, by all means, head to Be Our Guest for the quick service lunch. It, too, is very popular and lines begin to form before the 11 a.m. opening. The easiest time to get in would be at opening or at about 2 p.m., near the end of service.
I think the fare at lunch is among the best quick service food in Disney. I especially like braised pork. And don't miss the cupcakes and cream puffs at lunch or dinner.
Make sure your daughter visits Enchanted Tales with Belle in the New Fantasyland. It's a must for Belle fans!
Please check back with me or other members of the Moms Panel if you have any more questions before your visit. Have a wonderful time at Disney with your family!
Wilma
