Welcome to planDisney, Christina! Thanks for being our guest today with your question about dining at Magic Kingdom Park! Because it looks like you're arriving at the Most Magical Place on Earth tomorrow, let's jump right into your question!
Christina, because
Be Our Guest Restaurant is located inside
Magic Kingdom Park, you are required to have a theme park ticket with valid admission for Magic Kingdom on the day of your dining reservation. Unfortunately, there is no option for a half-day ticket or a ticket that allows entry just for a dining experience. While this is probably not the magical answer you were hoping for, I can offer you a few alternatives for a magical dining experience without a park ticket!
Several restaurants, including some character dining experiences, are available inside Disney Resort hotels or in Disney Springs. If you're a fan of
Beauty and the Beast and had hoped to dine at Be Our Guest for that reason, you can consider a visit to the
Enchanted Rose, a lounge located in
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, that mirrors details of the tale as old as time.
Some other dining locations you might enjoy that do not require a theme park ticket include the following:
- For a more sophisticated vibe, check out Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian or California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Both of these also offer great views of Magic Kingdom's nightly fireworks show, Happily Ever After, from outside of the park!
- For a character dining experience, I'd recommend breakfast or brunch at Topolino's Terrace, where you can immerse yourself in the French Riviera alongside some of your favorite pals like Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, and Donald.
Christina, I hope this helps, and I hope you can enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many dining locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any other planning questions, we'd love to welcome you back anytime here at
planDisney!
Bon Appetit,
Alison
