Many of you are starting to plan for your 2024 Disney World vacations and the dining budget associated with them, particularly whether the ornate Beauty & the Beast-themed Be Our Guest restaurant justifies its price.
This restaurant provides three course prix-fixe menus for lunch and dinner in one of three dining halls: Grand Ballroom, West Wing or Rose Gallery.
French-Inspired Cuisine
be our guest’s food is an integral part of their experience. They provide traditional French cuisine such as starters such as French Onion Soup and Escargot as well as entrees like Filet Mignon and Grey Stuff.

Disney was ahead of its time when they established Be Our Guest as the first table service restaurant at a theme park to offer alcohol; and remains as such today. Here, wine, beer and cocktails are served alongside soft drinks and signature non-alcoholic beverages for purchase in souvenir cups at reduced rates; each beverage may also be purchased individually at reduced costs.
If you dine here for dinner, after your meal you can queue up to meet Beast (official Disney PhotoPass photos only). He doesn’t move around much during the daytime so finding him may be difficult depending on when you go.
Wine & Beverages
Be Our Guest was initially the only Disney theme park that did not serve alcohol; however, when Be Our Guest opened as part of the New Fantasyland expansion in 2012, this policy changed and you now can order wines and beers to complement your meal!

Divided into three enchanting dining areas – Grand Ballroom, Rose Gallery and West Wing – be Our Guest feels like entering another movie altogether when entering this restaurant – forget that you’re even in a theme park!
For those unfamiliar with the movie, The West Wing is the forbidden room that Beast forbids Belle to enter.

After your meal, take part in official Disney PhotoPass Service photos with Beast as an extra treat – but please arrive early for your reservation as meeting him can often require quite an extended wait!
Overall, the food at Be Our Guest is excellent but may not justify the premium price tag. While its stunning interior makes this place lovely to dine in, other restaurants may provide more value for your dollar.
