Hi Birte! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
You are going to love dining at
Be Our Guest Restaurant in
Magic Kingdom Park in just a few days! The atmosphere is enchanting, and the Grey Stuff is absolutely delicious ... it is like dining in your own fairy tale. Dreamy!
In my experience, you are welcomed into Beast's Castle when your table is ready. You will check in at the podium outside of Beast's Castle, then wait outside of the castle until it is time for you to be seated. Once you are seated, you can talk to the Cast Member assisting you about the possibility of having your photo with Beast while you are waiting for your food to be served, so you can head out to catch the
Happily Ever After fireworks display immediately after dinner. I can't guarantee that you will be able to visit with Beast early since they usually ask Guests to wait until their meal is completed but Cast Members really will try to help if it is possible!
I hope this helps a bit, Birte! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Tabitha
