5. Be Our Guest Restaurant
A full service restaurant in the Magic Kingdom invites guests to step directly into one of the most beloved Disney animated films of all time. Be Our Guest Restaurant brings the story of Beauty and the Beast to life by allowing guests to enter into the Beast’s Castle to enjoy an amazing meal. The main dining room recreates the Grand Ballroom from the film where Belle and the Beast share their magical dance. Guests who sit in that area can look out the windows to the French countryside where snow can gently be seen falling. The West Wing room is the Beast’s mysterious lair where portraits and curtains lay in shambles and the occasional lightning strike can occur lighting up the nearby enchanted rose. The final dining room at Be Our Guest Restaurant is the Castle Gallery which features a massive figure of Belle and the Beast dancing as well as portraits showcasing their lives. While the atmosphere is enough to keep guests demanding reservations, the food at Be Our Guest Restaurant is also wonderful! Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the location offers up classic and French inspired options including Feast A La Gaston, Vegetable Quiche, Croque Monsieur, Tuna Nicoise Salad, Sauteed Shrimp and Scallops, Roasted Rack of Lamb, Layered Ratatouille, Grilled Strip Steak, and the Grey Stuff which is delicious.
