Bonjour, Joe!
Be Our Guest Restaurant is my absolute favorite place to dine in all of Walt Disney World Resort. Nowhere else allows me to step inside my favorite movie to enjoy some fabulous food and fine wine.
Joe, I do not want you to worry. While waitlists are "usually" not available at Be Our Guest Restaurant, I do have a few options for you.
My personal suggestion is to keep
checking for reservations closer to the day that you arrive. I find that I snag some of my hardest-to-get reservations the week before we leave, or even the night before! So if you keep a flexible schedule, you may luck out.
Your other option is to check in with the front desk as soon as the restaurant opens. You may just find that they have some cancelations, or have some availability on the
Walk-Up Waitlist feature of the
My Disney Experience Mobile App.
If neither of these options pans out, I recommend that you stop by the
Enchanted Rose Lounge at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Enjoy cocktails and small bites while you browse the lounge and look out for Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Mrs. Potts.
Au Revoir!
Sarah B.
