Be Our Guest

[homeschool mom]

Does anyone know if this restaurant is going to be a buffet or just order off the menu?

[Imalismom]

There will be three dining rooms in the restaurant, with will be able to seat 550 people:

(1) Library/Gallery,
(2) Mysterious West Wing (where the enchanted rose is kept)
(3) 2-story Ballroom, where a snow effect will be in the windows

The restaurant will offer table-service dining during the evening, and counter-service dining during the day.

So far we are hearing that this will not be a character meal.

[homeschool mom]

That sounds perfect for us! I already scheduled all of our TS meals for Dec. and din't really want the extra expense of paying for another TS meal. I will still be able to go to Be Our Guest and only use a CS meal. I can't wait to see it!

[readytogo2]

any ideas on what the menu may look like?

[Imalismom]

Not yet.....

Anyone know when we can make ressies ?????

Anyone know when we can make ressies ?????

Nope - that is one of WDW's best kept secrets at this point in time - and I wish someone would soon spill the beans!

[RedSoxFan]

Is there an exact date to when it opens?

Is there an exact date to when it opens?

That's the other best kept secret

Is there an exact date to when it opens?

Disney likely doesn't know itself yet. The contractor has to release the building after it clears all inspections first. Then it will take some time for setup, staffing and training (and the chefs have to train in the new kitchen as well) before they are ready to start a soft opening period. Any proboems in setup and trainung can delay as well. That's likely why we are only hearing broad dates like for the holidays at this point, definite dates just aren't known.

I'm guessing it's going to be the new Le Cellier, with everyone fighting for a chance to beg for food at the feet of Cogsworth. I know I'll be in line.

I hope it's open in time for our late Nov/early Dec trip! DD would be over the moon for this! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for when they'll start taking ADR's!

[The Hitchhiking Ghost]

Any word yet if it will be on the dining plan and if so at what level?

After booking HDDR and a CP dinner package, my adr's are pretty solid. I'm hoping that as mentioned in a prior reply that it will be open for CS for lunch and that it won't require a TS entitlement to eat there for lunch on the DDP.

[Dulcee]

according to the disney parks blog tomorrow they'll be releasing some information on menu and when ADRs will be available....

we'll see

[homeschool mom]

Like a previous poster said, after booking HDDR, our CP dining package and 2 others my TS meals are gone. I'm hoping for a CS lunch at Be Our Guest!

[BriarRose0708]

The info is now up on the Disney Parks Blog! The menu sounds really yummy but no specifics other than "ADRs can be made for the holidays starting in late August." So still no idea as to when, specifically, it will be open for both counter service and table service.

[eatsleepdisney]

Just saw details about it on the Disney Food Blog! I'm really excited for this!

[azcavalier]

Interesting....the whole "it's a quick service, but not a counter service" idea for lunch. You order for yourself at a kiosk, and then they bring the food to your table on china.

The menu looks great. I'm hoping this is open before we go in November.

[Nascfan]

I cannot wait to eat here! We will definitely be planning a lunch next May. My mouth is already watering for the grilled steak sandwich with garlic butter spread.

If you dig into the comments section, WDW is answering some of the questions - here was one answer

Guests will be able to use one (1) QSR entitlement for lunch or one (1) TSR entitlement for dinner.

so that tell us it WILL be on the Dining Plan...

Also the question on characters:

No characters — at least not for now!
