Hi Justina, and thank you for returning to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
I am so excited to hear you will be dining at
Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom Park. This is my absolute favorite place to dine in all of Walt Disney World. Like you, I also like to take advantage of ordering our meals in advance. Not only does this allow you to consider the menu options at your leisure, but it also makes for a more streamlined process when checking into the restaurant.
I contacted a Disney Dining Cast Member on your behalf who assured me that you will indeed be able to pre-order meals for all nine members in your dining party and then divide up your bills at the restaurant any way you wish. Further, guests in your party are able to use different payment methods if desired, whether that be Disney Dining Plan credits, MagicBand charging privileges, credit card or cash.
I hope you and your dining companions thoroughly enjoy dining inside Beast's Castle at Be Our Guest Restaurant. If I may, I would highly recommend the
Braised Pork (Coq Au Vin Style) from the Lunch Menu. It is absolutely mouth watering! And don't forget dessert, because the "grey stuff" (The Master's Cupcake) really is delicious!
Bon Appétit!
Trish
