Hi Julie,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! How exciting that you have an upcoming trip planned to the Walt Disney World Resort. The splendor of
Be Our Guest restaurant takes my breath away!
Although reservations are strongly recommended for this popular restaurant, you can certainly try to dine there without a reservation. In fact, I have seen guests walk-up during the day and get a reservation for dinner. There are sometimes last minute cancellations, so you could be one of the lucky few who gets to dine in Beast's Castle.
We have dined there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dinner is by far my favorite experience. The food is delicious and when the Beast does his celebrity walk-through the restaurant, the excitement spreads. We love to dine in the Grand Ballroom because, well, it is so grand! On our last visit, we had a table by one of the windows. We did a pre-park opening breakfast reservation at 8:00 a.m. so we could enter the park prior to other guests. We love walking down Main Street, U.S.A. when the park is almost empty.
If you decide not to do a pre-park opening breakfast reservation and still get to the park early, be sure to catch the
Let the Magic Begin Show. At the end of the day, take a break to watch the
Happily Ever After fireworks - the perfect ending to any day at Magic Kingdom. The storytelling is amazing, the music is captivating and the fireworks spectacular!
Julie, I am sending wishes to the stars for you trusting that you will dine at Be Our Guest!
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
