HI Caroline!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Be Our Guest Restaurant is one of my favorite dining experiences at Magic Kingdom. It is absolutely amazing to dine in one of the beautiful rooms in the Beast's castle! Dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant is incredibly popular, so it can be difficult to secure a reservation. Occasionally there is availability for Guests to walk-up and secure a reservation on the day they will be dining, but in my experience these walk-up reservations are rare. I think that your best bet to enjoy dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant is to continue to looking for a reservation as your trip approaches.
Since dining reservations need to be cancelled one day in advance to avoid charges, the best advice I can give you is to be patient. I have had amazing luck scoring reservations to popular restaurants, including Be Our Guest, during my vacation. I like to use the
My Disney Experience Mobile App and the
complimentary Wi-Fi at Walt Disney World Resort theme parks and hotels to
search for dining reservations that I wasn't able to secure prior to my trip. In fact, I will be looking for reservations for Akershus Royal Banquet Hall during my next trip for an additional breakfast we would like to enjoy. While I have will search my entire trip, I generally have the most luck finding reservations 24-48 hours in advance as Guests are finalizing their plans for the next day.
T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
