Hello and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am sorry to hear that you were not able to secure a reservation for
Be Our Guest. It is a very popular dining experience and I have found myself without a reservation to this most MAGICAL place with many Walt Disney World visits. However, do not hesitate to ask at the Be Our Guest window if any tables are available. I have been lucky on occasion to secure a table as a "walk-in."
Now in the past, guests with reservations were the only ones allowed entrance into the restaurant and I am quite sure this still holds true today. This holds true for not only picture taking, but for snacks, too. Please ask a Cast Member as you approach the restaurant. You may not get the answer you may be looking for, but what a most MAGICAL day if you do.
Diane's Tip of the Day: The
Shop Disney Mobile App is a great way to make shopping most enjoyable. There is something for every family member and friend you may have. I know you'll love it as much as I do!
Have a MAGICAL day and "SEE YOU REAL SOON!"
