Bonjour, Luis!
It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you to planDisney! And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as the panelists proudly present….your answer!
I am so excited you and your party are embarking on an adventure in the great wide somewhere, somewhere being The Most Magical Place on Earth, of course! Deep inside
Magic Kingdom Park, you’ll find
Be Our Guest Restaurant inside the hEARt of Beast’s Castle. This dining experience brings one of the most beloved stories to life as you dine in the gorgeous Ballroom, themed to the scene where Belle and Beast danced, with stunning chandeliers. Be sure to explore all the dining rooms before you leave.
Luis, when I take my extended family to Walt Disney World Resort, I always assign two people to work on making dining reservations. This is because it’s easier to find reservations for a group of six Guests or less. I recommend having one adult in your party make a dining reservation for half the group and then the other adult make it for the other half. Sometimes you can find timings that are similar with only a 10 to 15-minute difference.
Once you both have secured those reservations, I would recommend upon your arrival at Magic Kingdom Park to go ahead and walk up to Be Our Guest Restaurant and let the Cast Member attending know that you are all from the same party and if they can put in a request to seat you all together. This is, of course, a request and not guaranteed, but Cast Members do their very best to accommodate.
If you can’t find a reservation for your party, I would also recommend you going to the Cast Member attending the restaurant the day of your arrival to ask if there have been any cancellations and if they’re able to squeeze your party in. Sometimes I’ve been successful doing this, but again, it’s not a guarantee.
Since you asked if other restaurants would be able to accommodate your party, I’m happy to discuss more; I LOVE food at Walt Disney World Resort! My large family has been able to get reservations at
Liberty Tree Tavern quite often; if you enjoy a Thanksgiving family-style meal, this is the place to be!
If you’d prefer a walk-up place to eat without having to make a dining reservation, I would recommend
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe. I love the Churros with chocolate dipper, and you can’t go wrong with a yummy plate of nachos!
We can’t wait to welcome you to the magic, Luis! Have an enchanting time!
