Hi Lorraine! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I can completely understand how frustrating it is when you cannot find a dining reservation for a special occasion.
Be Our Guest Restaurant is very sought-after, and it can be a challenge to secure a booking there. In my opinion it is one of the most enchanted dining locations across the whole of Walt Disney World, and if you do get a chance to enter Beast's Castle, you must have a look around all three dining rooms, regardless of where you are seated. The Grand Ballroom, The Castle Gallery and The West Wing - you may even see the Beast's enchanted rose. If you can be a little flexible on timing, and possibly on dates (maybe the day before or after her birthday?), then you may have more chance. Did you know you can book for breakfast, lunch and dinner there?
Here are the menus currently available, if that helps. Cancellations do occur all the time, even quite close to the actual day, so keep looking. Guests will finalise and change their own plans when they are already on vacation, so last-minute openings do occur. I can only urge you to check every day, and fingers crossed you will be successful.
For an extra magical touch, you can organise a Mickey Mouse celebration cake to be delivered to your table at your restaurant for your daughter's birthday -
you can see all the details here. And don't forget to collect a 'birthday button' from the Front Desk of your Disney Resort hotel!
