If you’ve seen Beauty and The Beast, you probably know the famous line from Be Our Guest in which the dining room sings about the meal and they suggest you try the grey stuff.
Wonderfully, at Disney World’s Be Our Guest restaurant, you can do just that. Trust me (just ask the plates) - it IS delicious!
There are 3 rooms at BOG - The Grand Ballroom, the West Wing and the Castle Gallery. We were seated in the West Wing.
Each room is done in true Disney fashion - you feel like you are truly inside the Beast’s castle. If you’re seated in the Grand Ballroom - be sure to look for the snow falling just outside the windows. The West Wing is a dark and mysterious room where you’ll find the enchanted rose. Also, watch the portrait of Adam as it changes from prince to Beast! The Gallery features a nearly 7-foot tall music box.
Whichever room you’re in, take the time before you leave to walk through the other rooms. It’s definitely worth your time.
The food at BOG is considered French cuisine. Don’t worry though, if you have picky eaters in your group. My family (including me!) is the definition of picky eaters and we found the food to be great. You can always get a Mickey Meal for the kid that just won’t try anything different.
Do save room for dessert! Besides the grey stuff (have I mentioned it’s delicious?) there are 7 other options!
We ate lunch at BOG so didn’t get to meet the Beast, but if you go at dinner, you’ll most likely get a chance to take photos with him. It’s not a “typical” character meal where he goes from table to table. You’ll get a chance to take a pic with him as you exit the restaurant, but beware that you may have to wait in a bit of a line - just depends on timing as other guests finish their meal and line up.
If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, BOG is a quick-service meal at breakfast/lunch and a table service credit at dinner. You can order your food in advance of your trip - keep that in mind as it will save you time once you arrive at the restaurant. And you know how I am - less time spent eating is more time riding rides!!
This popular restaurant is located in the Magic Kingdom in New Fantasyland. Even though it opened several years ago, reservations are still hard to come by. You’ve got to be dedicated and get online at 5am on the 180 day mark ahead of your trip to snag one. I’ve heard of people just walking up and getting in on the day they’re there, but that’s pretty rare and you’ve got to be willing to be disappointed if they’re full. When you book your trip through me, I will be the one getting up early to get this reservation for you!
Once you're there - take lots and lots of pics! I especially love this one of us reenacting the stained glass...
