Hello Patricia! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Be Our Guest Restaurant continues to be the most popular dining location in Magic Kingdom ever since it opened with New Fantasyland several years ago.
It is one of my favorite experiences in all of Walt Disney World Resort and I try to book Advanced Dining reservations for every family vacation.
As far as obtaining the coveted
Advanced Dining Reservations for Be Our Guest restaurant, the most effective way is to book 180+days out of your Walt Disney World vacation using the
benefit granted to Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel that allows them to book for up to 10 days starting on their Check-In Date.
However, I usually obtain my Advanced Dining Reservations by checking the
Walt Disney World Resort site page for Be Our Guest Restaurant frequently. Guests often modify their Reservations (even up to the day before to avoid cancellation fees) and with enough persistence, I usually am able to grab a seating that way.
Other than that, you are welcome to approach a Cast Member at the Check-In kiosk for Be Our Guest Restaurant and wait for a table. In some cases, Cast Members are unable to take walk-up Guests due to having reached maximum capacity, but many Guests are able to dine at Be Our Guest Restaurant with walk-up requests and patient waiting.
Bon Appétit!
