Hi, Marilyn!
That is so exciting that you will be dining at
Be Our Guest Restaurant soon! Disney's Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies, so I find Be Our Guest Restaurant absolutely enchanting. When I enter The Grand Ballroom, I feel as if I have truly stepped into Belle's story. During your visit to Be Our Guest Restaurant, you simply must try the Grey Stuff. It really is delicious!
Happily Ever After is an 18-minute show. Many guests do tend to exit the park at the conclusion of Happily Ever After, so you may want to avoid the area in front of Cinderella Castle and Main Street, U.S.A. at that time. I would recommend visiting some nearby Fantasyland attractions after you finish your dinner. Did you know that as long as you are in line for an attraction at the park closing time, you will get to experience that attraction?
If you love Disney's Beauty and the Beast as much as I do, I would recommend visiting
Enchanted Tales with Belle. At this attraction, you will get to relive the story of how Belle met the Beast. Some guests may even be invited to play a part in Belle's story.
Even though viewing Happily Ever After does not fit into your plans for this particular evening, if you happen to be in Magic Kingdom Park on another night, I would highly recommend experiencing this show. It is a spectacular finale to a magical Walt Disney World day!
I hope you have an amazing, pixie-dusted vacation!
Samantha
