Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel Chrystal!
October will be here before you know it and I'm glad to see you're planning now.
Be Our Guest Restaurant is fabulous for lunch and dinner. It is a Table Service location for dinner and a Quick Service location for lunch. Currently, reservations are only accepted for dinner and lunch is all walk-up.
If you can get dinner reservations, then that would be my first choice. It cuts down on the wait time and I enjoy being able to relax at a full service table location. You also get to have your picture taken with Beast in the Library following your dinner but not at lunch.
Reservations for dinner can be made beginning 180 days prior to your visit so make sure you keep an eye on your window to open to make reservations. You can
make reservations online or by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
If you can't get reservations for dinner, lunch is a great option too. Even though its a Quick Service location, its a little different than the other Quick Service locations in the park. After you order your food, they give you a Rose and you can proceed to a table. Once your food is ready, they will bring it to you. No more carrying a tray full of food looking for tables. Guests begin lining up for lunch early so the line often gets long pretty quickly. You may want to wait until the initial lunch rush is over. A Cast Member gave us the suggestion of trying around 1:30 p.m. when the lines are typically shorter.
Please feel free to visit with all of your planning questions. Its our pleasure to assist you!
Wishing you minnie magical memories :-) Allison
