Hi, there!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Shari. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A breakfast or lunch reservation at
Be Our Guest Restaurant is a must-do for my family when we're spending a day in Magic Kingdom Park. We never miss an opportunity to dine in Beast's enchanted castle! In my family's experience, we have always been able to seat ourselves during breakfast or lunch. We've never had a problem finding an available table in any of the three dining rooms. Just a few days ago, though, I had a breakfast reservation at Be Our Guest Restaurant and I was seated at a table by a hostess! I'm not sure if this is a new procedure at this unique restaurant, or if they were just seating Guests because it was particularly busy that morning, but the hostess leading me to my table did say I could request a particular dining room before being seated.
If you're given the opportunity to either seat yourself or make a request with the host or hostess, I highly recommend dining in The West Wing. Cogsworth says that part of the castle is strictly forbidden, but it's my family's favorite of the dining rooms!
Be sure to take advantage of Order-Ahead Dining at Be Our Guest Restaurant. Guests with breakfast or lunch reservations can place their orders on My Disney Experience online up to 30 days in advance! This convenient feature saves my family valuable time in
Magic Kingdom Park.
I hope this was helpful, Shari. Please visit us again soon with any new questions you may have!
