Hello Amanda! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Dining at
Be Our Guest Restaurant is an Endlessly Magical experience combining classic Disney ambiance with delicious food and drink. The result is one of my favorite experiences in all of Walt Disney World Resort.
At most Dining Locations across Walt Disney World Resort, you are not required to purchase a set amount of food or spend a certain amount to qualify for your
Advanced Dining Reservations (you must buy something, however). If you make Advanced Dining Reservations and want to enjoy a coffee with the magnificent ambiance, then like the name of the restaurant implies: "Be Our Guest".
The Dining Locations at Walt Disney World Resort where you are required to pay a set amount include
Dinner Shows, some
Character Dining Experiences and other locations that serve buffets or "family style" meals
When my family goes to Be Our Guest restaurant for our Advanced Dining Reservations (usually once per vacation), we always try something new from the menu (usually a dessert). I recommend that you try the "Grey Stuff" Master's Cupcake at least once (it's delicious, ask the dishes!).
Bon Appétit!
