Be Our Guest Restaurant is a themed dining experience located in Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The restaurant is inspired by the animated film Beauty and the Beast and is situated within the Fantasyland area of the park.

History

Be Our Guest Restaurant opened on December 6, 2012, as part of the New Fantasyland expansion. The restaurant is named after the iconic song "Be Our Guest" from the film Beauty and the Beast. It was designed to immerse guests in the world of the film, featuring elaborate theming and decor that replicates the Beast's Castle.

Theming and Design

The restaurant is divided into three main dining areas, each meticulously themed to reflect different parts of the Beast's Castle:

• The Grand Ballroom: This area is designed to resemble the ballroom where Belle and the Beast share their first dance. It features high ceilings, chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows that simulate a view of the snowy French countryside.
• The West Wing: This darker, more mysterious room is themed after the Beast's forbidden West Wing. It includes the enchanted rose and a portrait of the Beast that changes with the lighting.
• The Castle Gallery: Also known as the Rose Gallery, this room is adorned with paintings and tapestries depicting scenes from the film. A large music box with a rotating figure of Belle and the Beast is the centerpiece of this area.

• Lunch: Also quick-service, with a menu that includes sandwiches, salads, and soups.
