Hi, there!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kirsten. I'm so glad you stopped by with this great question!
The day I can begin making my family's dining reservations for the length of our stay at the Walt Disney World Resort is practically a holiday in my house. I just love planning the unique dining experiences my family will get to enjoy together!
Be Our Guest Restaurant is one of our absolute favorite dining locations, and this particular restaurant is at the top of my priority list when our dining reservation "window" opens up. You may begin making
dining reservations online at 6:00 AM Eastern Time, 180 days prior to your arrival. I like to get up extra early on that 180-day morning. With a cup of coffee in hand (in my favorite Disney mug, of course!) and my list of the reservations I'm hoping to make, I begin refreshing the Walt Disney World Resort webpage at 5:45 AM because sometimes, that reservation window will open just a tad early and I can get a head start on my plans. If you prefer to make your dining reservations over the phone, you can call 407-939-1947 as early as 7:00 AM on your 180-day mark.
One of my favorite things about Be Our Guest Restaurant is that we can enjoy dining in Beast's enchanted castle for breakfast and lunch, in addition to dinner. We like to book an early morning breakfast reservation there before the park opens. It gives us a chance to enjoy a quiet walk down Main Street, U.S.A. first thing in the morning, and it's an especially great time to get a family photo taken in front of Cinderella Castle.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, Kirsten!
