Hi Amanda!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with an excellent question!
My recommendation is to pre-order online and pay upon arrival at
Be Our Guest Restaurant. When you check in at the entrance you will be given a pager, and as soon as you enter Beast Castle you will be directed to cashiers to pay for your meal. At this time, please inform Cast Members that the meals on your reservation will be paid with entitlements from different
Disney Dining Plans, and the correct credits will be deducted from the corresponding accounts.
I personally really enjoy to pre-order our meals, because this saves time upon arriving at Be Our Guest Restaurant. In addition, paying for meals is usually a fast process and soon you will find yourself inside your favorite Royal Room for an unforgettable meal! I personally love the Grand Ballroom, and the mysterious and dark West Wing. My husband on the other hand prefers the Castle Gallery to dine inside Belle’s library.
Thank you for stopping by, Amanda! Please come back to visit us real soon if you have additional questions.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
