Hi Kelly!
Thanks so much for visiting the Moms Panel with your great question.
The new
Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland operates as a casual, Quick Service dining location at lunch time from 11am - 3:30pm and as a Table Service Restaurant, accepting dinner reservations beginning at 4:00pm. Reservations prior to 4:00pm are unavailable.
On the evenings of
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, the Be Our Guest Restaurant will operate under limited dinner hours, accepting reservations from 4:00pm-5:30pm only. The restaurant will not be open
during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
If you're unable to secure a reservation in advance but hope to enjoy dining during your visit, consider arriving right at 4:00pm to the podium for possible stand-by seating due to cancellations or no-shows. Alternatively, check with your Disney Resort Concierge Desk or Guest Services in the parks for availability after your arrival, as often as you can. If all else fails, I'd still recommend that you consider popping in to enjoy even a casual lunch at Be Our Guest during your Walt Disney World vacation. That way, you'll
still get to enjoy the restaurant's beautiful atmosphere!
I you'd like to consider an alternative dinner option for the evening of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party,
Liberty Tree Tavern is an excellent choice for a festive, holiday meal to get you in the spirit!
I hope you'll write me back soon with additional questions or requests for recommendations! I'd love to hear from you again!
Wishing you a simply Magical time as your enjoy the holiday season at Walt Disney World Kelly!
Kirsten
