Bonjour, Allie! It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I welcome you back to planDisney with another wonderful question. And now, if you’ll allow us, pull up a chair, relax, and let us proudly present…your answer!
Be Our Guest Restaurant is such an enchanting choice for celebrating a special anniversary. My husband and I are actually about to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary ourselves in just a few days, so I was especially excited to see your question. Twenty-eight years together is such an incredible milestone, and what a beautiful reason to celebrate the two of you in such a magical setting!
I’ve had the chance to dine at Be Our Guest several times over the years and have experienced all three dining rooms, so I’m happy to help you decide! Each one is beautifully themed and truly makes you feel like you’ve stepped right into a tale as old as time.
The Grand Ballroom is the largest dining room and absolutely breathtaking with its grand chandeliers, snowy windows, and elegant atmosphere. It really captures the magic of the ballroom scene from the film. Because it’s the main dining area, it also tends to be the busiest and loudest of the three rooms.
The West Wing has a completely different feel with its darker, more mysterious atmosphere inspired by Beast’s enchanted castle. It’s smaller and moodier, and you definitely won’t want to miss seeing the enchanted rose tucked inside the room.
Then there’s The Rose Gallery, which personally feels like the most intimate option for a special anniversary dinner. It features a beautiful, larger-than-life music box display of Belle and Beast dancing together, along with lovely framed artwork throughout the room. In my experience, it’s usually quieter and feels a bit more romantic than the Grand Ballroom, which is why this would be my top recommendation for your celebration.
The nice thing is that no matter which room you’re seated in, you’re absolutely welcome to walk through and explore the other dining rooms during your meal. It’s a great opportunity to take photos and enjoy all the incredible details throughout the castle.
When you arrive for your reservation, I’d recommend letting the Cast Member at check-in know which dining room you’re hoping for and mentioning that you’re celebrating your anniversary. While requests can’t be guaranteed, Cast Members truly do their best to accommodate preferences whenever possible.
And an extra reminder, don’t forget to pick up your complimentary Celebration Buttons either at the front desk of your Disney Resort or at any
Guest Relations location throughout the theme parks. They’re such a fun way to let everyone join in on your special occasion! If you’d like to make them even more magical, you can stop by
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom, where Disney calligraphers can personalize them for a small fee. It makes for such a special keepsake from your celebration!
Allie, I hope this helped add a little extra enchantment to your anniversary celebration plans. Wishing you both the most magical time together filled with love, laughter, and memories worthy of your own fairy tale. Thank you for being our guest here at planDisney.
Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious!
