Hi, Emma! It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure I welcome you to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We invite you to relax, pull up a chair, as I present to you an answer to your question!
I am so glad you are planning ahead for your meals during your visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Some dining locations that require an Advance Dining Reservation will fill all available spots well in advance, so it is wise to make your claim for a table as soon as you are able.
Be Our Guest Restaurant, in particular, is a very popular location during all three meal services. Note that Advance Dining Reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance, so "be our guest" and
put the reservation system to the test!
You will be able to use your Quick Service Dining Plan if you dine there at breakfast or lunch. During dinner service, the Beast's Castle transforms, with a more elegant meal presentation that requires Table Service meal credits for those using the Disney Dining Plan. When making an Advance Dining Reservation for any of these three meals, you will be required to submit credit card information as a guarantee for the reservation. The credit card will only be charged in the event that you do not attend or do not cancel the reservation within the designated time frame, which is usually one day in advance.
Emma, please feel free to come back and visit us anytime you have questions as you continue to plan your first visit to Walt Disney World Resort. We would love to help you discover ways to make sure the magic is endless during your visit here!
