Hi Sara,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Be Our Guest is one of my family's favorite restaurants, so I am delighted you are planning to dine there.
Absolutely do the advance ordering for breakfast and you should be able to pay separately when you arrive. Doing the advance ordering will save you valuable time at the restaurant. Just remember that policies may change, so always check with your server once you arrive at the restaurant.
I hope you have considered a pre-park opening breakfast reservation. If you can snag one of those, you can get into the park before the crowds arrive and enjoy a few magical minutes of quiet streets on your way to the restaurant. Be sure to keep in mind that with the
Let the Magic Begin show, guests can explore Main Street, U.S.A. one hour prior to park opening. Check the
park hours for your dates to see if there are early morning
extra magic hours for resort guests on the day you are having breakfast at Be Our Guest.
Sara, while you are at Magic Kingdom, I do hope you experience
Happily Ever After, the new fireworks and projection show. It is breathtaking! I suggest finding a viewing spot at least 45 minutes prior to the show or reserving the
Fireworks Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace.
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
