Hi, there!
It's so nice to see you again, Beth. Your granddaughters are certainly lucky girls for having a grandmother who is planning such a
Grand Adventure at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom Park is one of my family's absolute favorite dining locations. We've enjoyed breakfast, lunch, AND dinner there; all three meals are incredible, and the fabulously themed dining rooms completely immerse you in the story of Beast's enchanted castle. In my family's experience, dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant has taken between an hour and an hour and a half. I see that you have an 8:00 PM dining reservation there during
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I'm concerned that if you kept the reservation, you'd lose precious time at the party! I understand visiting Be Our Guest Restaurant during your vacation is a top priority, so I recommend continuing to check for an earlier dinner reservation time that wouldn't impose on the party. Sometimes, reservations become available closer to your arrival date. I also suggest searching for a breakfast or lunch reservation on a day you plan to spend in Magic Kingdom Park instead. You may not immediately find availability at Be Our Guest Restaurant, but I encourage you to keep checking online as you count down the days to your holiday visit. I've found that perseverance usually pays off when trying to book a hard-to-get dining reservation!
I hope this was helpful, Beth. Please continue to visit us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We love when you stop by!
