That one time that we ate at Blank Blank Blank
Yes, there is a restaurant at Disney called Blank Blank Blank.
I JUST DONT WANT TO RUIN THE SURPRISE, OKKKKK?!
I was thinking about calling the place by its real name in the title, but I wanted it to be suspenseful.
Youre welcome.
Sooooo, there we were, having a lovely ride on the highway in the sky over to my second house.
Once we got there, we got off the monorail, and decided we wanted to try to get on Splash again. Someone had to stay with Troy so Mum watched him because she didnt want to go on.
We dragged Mimi with us.
She was mad.
This was only the start of that
Mum found a spot on Main Street to watch the parade. And then Troy fell asleep. Awesome
We headed to Frontierland and there was only a 10 minute wait for Splash. Good, because I didnt want to wait. I am so ridiculous.
I sat in the front row with Mimi. Seth and Jackie sat behind us.
And we got SOAKED.
Yes, yes, yes, SPLASH WAS WORKING. No backstage this time around!
THIS PICTURE OF MY GRANDMOTHER. LAUGHING SO HARD. (and dont I look lovely?!)
Had to post that, oh my god.
So yeah, we had a wonderful ride down the Briar Patch.
Next we headed over to Big Thunder Mountain. It said there was a 30 minute wait but we walked right on!
I sat with Mimi once again.
She screamed.
She was mad we dragged her on.
At least it was kind of like a little blow dry!
Yeah, not so much.
Mimi wanted to fix her hair because it was a disaster. SO WAS MINE AND IT WASNT LIKE I CARED. I mean, maybe I would have cared once I found out where we were going to dinner in less than five minutes
Jackies phone started going off.
It was Mum.
I was basically screaming.
Jackie was like OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED WHAT IS WRONG?!
I told her nothing happened and she was SO mad at me because I freaked her out. She thought something happened to Troy.
Mimi was still in the bathroom.
We needed to leave Frontierland RIGHT THAT MINUTE.
I was FREAKING out.
It seemed like I could barely breathe at that point.
Mimi finally got out of the bathroom and I told her we needed to go NOW.
Except Seth and Jackie werent coming with us.
As a birthday gift for Seth, we gave him a Disney gift card and we made an ADR at Kouzzina for them this night, so they could just have dinner together.
So I told them they needed to get going to make it for their ADR. I gave them directions to how to get out of the park (ridiculous, I know) and how to get to the Boardwalk.
We said bye and I grabbed onto Mimis hand and basically pulled her to our destination.
I was freaking out because we needed to get to Mum and Troy THAT MINUTE. I was afraid we werent going to make it.
Seriously, that woman walks SOOOOOOO slow. I lost her at some points. I am a VERY fast walker and I was getting annoyed and I told her we needed to go faster and I got yelled at.
WELL I CANT WALK ANY FASTER!!!!!
Well then
We made it to our destination within SECONDS. Our buzzer was going off when we got there.
We grabbed Troy out of his stroller. He was still sleeping. Awesome
We brought our buzzer up to the front and waited all about a minute before someone was calling our last name.
Guys.
Do not freak out.
WE GOT INTO BE OUR GUEST AAAAHHHHH
I couldnt believe it.
WE GOT INTO BE OUR GUEST FOR DINNER.
I still cant get over it.
Mum went up to the podium at 3:45 as a WALK UP GUYS.
And we got in.
We werent able to get an ADR AT ALL. We were at Disney when they were released and I heard it was just nuts on the phone lines. So we waited. And nothing.
So if any of you cant get an ADR for BOG, GO AS A WALK UP RIGHT WHEN IT OPENS FOR DINNER.
You will end up having an early dinner, BUT WHO REALLY CARES. YOU ARE EATING AT BE OUR GUEST.
So yeah.
I was basically crying.
We were the first ones in the ballroom.
THE FIRST ONES.
OF THE NIGHT.
Yes, we got seated IN THE BALLROOM.
I was in shock.
My mouth was wide open going in there.
And I think that is what the Imagineers wanted. It looks EXACTLY like the movie. I couldnt think of one more thing to make this restaurant any more amazing. When you first step foot in there, it is like you are in the movie. In a small village in France. I felt like I was. I couldnt get over where I was. I was in Be Our Guest. After MONTHS of watching videos online of it that the Parks Blog posted, I was here. It felt like a dream.
We were seated and I was DYING. A LOT. Like, you guys dont understand.
This is my view right now. I am blown away.
Oh yeah. IT SNOWS OUTSIDE.
I mean, COME ON. JUST STOP. LIKE. AHHHHH. I still cant get over how beautiful this restaurant is. We are eating at Be Our Guest in August (WE GOT AN ADR!!!... which was not hard to get AT ALL) and I dont think I will live. I see pictures of the restaurant ALL THE TIME and I get goose bumps because it is spectacular.
HOW PERFECT ARE THE NAPKINS.
AND THE MENUS.
STILL DYING OVER HERE.
And oh yeah. While I was dying and crying, Troy was having a total meltdown because he wanted Seth and Jackie and I think because he was tired. This was just
I dont know. I felt bad and I was trying to enjoy the experience at the same time. So adding a crying kid was not cool, but what are you gonna do about it?! I probably sound like a bad cousin, but when you put me in a restaurant LIKE THIS, Im sorry. And thankfully, he didnt cry the whole meal. Mum brought him to the bathroom and calmed him down. She then let him play some Angry Birds, which helped A LOT. And then something else, but we will get to that in a moment.
And how could I forget?
MY GRANDMOTHER ORDERED WINE.
AND WE WERE IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM.
I was like you really arent going to drink that. OH YES YOU ARE OH MY GOD WHYYYYY.
As I said in my post about the 50s Prime Time Café, DISNEY ISNT FOLLOWING WALTS LEGACY. Which then led to a rude comment from Jackie, but we arent going there now.
I mean, its not like they are selling it at stands in the park, BUT STILL. You are having alcohol. IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM.
I couldnt believe my grandmother was really drinking.
Before I start ranting more, lets move on, shall we?
So
. Our waiter,
Scooter, brought over some bread for us, which I guess I didnt take a picture of
??? Probably because Troy stole the whole basket thingy before I could. But it is some of my food pics, so that makes up for it, I guess?
To start off, I ordered the French Onion Soup and it was EXCELLENT. Oh my god, I went to heaven. I havent had the one at Le Chefs, but I heard this is better.
I am in shock right now. WE ARE IN THE BALLROOM AND I AM EATING FRENCH ONION SOUP.
For our entrees, Mum and I got the grilled strip steak, which came with fries.
It was VERY good. The steak was cooked perfectly and the fries were great. They had some kind of seasoning on them if I remember correctly that was awesome.
Mimi got the scallops, which came in a puff pastry.
She said it was very good!
Troy just got pasta or something and he ate ALL OF IT, which is a SHOCKER when it comes to him. He never finishes a meal. Disney magic, my peeps.
IT IS JUST SO AMAZING HERE.
Then it was time for dessert!
They bring around a case thingy FILLED with desserts. HEAVEN.
I asked Scooter if there was any way I could try the grey stuff. He said are you celebrating a birthday or something?
Ummm
SURE I AM!
I said no, but he said he would talk to Mrs. Potts in the kitchen.
So, yeah. The grey stuff is only for birthdays or celebrations, but it was very nice of him to get me some!
I ALSO got the chocolate cream puff WHICH WAS SO GOOD. And here is my awful picture of it.
Mimis dessert is in the back. She got the lemon meringue cupcake it looks like.
I have no clue what Mum got. I do know that Troy got the strawberry cream cheese cupcake which he LOVED.
Then Scooter brought out a little dollop of the grey stuff for me!
It was like a cookies and cream mousse type of thing. The spoonful I had was very good!
"Try the grey stuff, it's delicious! Don't believe me, ask the dishes!"
During the meal, THE BEAST comes out and pretty much waves to everyone. And oh my GOD, Troy went NUTS. He LOVED him. He was standing on his chair yelling THE BEAST! So cute!
You can meet him in the room where you order for lunch during the day. It is kinda towards the front of the restaurant. So I brought Troy in there after dessert and the CM working there was like oh have you finished your meal? And I was like do I say yes? Or do I say no? So I said no and that we were just finishing up and she said to come back once we were done.
So if you want to meet the Beast, you have to wait until after you are done with dinner. That is like the rule I guess.
So I brought Troy back to our table and on the way he was said he was very scared. So I picked him up (since I am such a great cousin) and asked him why. He said The Beast!
but I thought you wanted to meet him five seconds ago?
He still said he wanted to meet him even though he was a little scared. Ok then.
So after we paid, we went back to the room with The Beast!
And by the way, they take Tables in Wonderland! OH YEAH!
We were the only ones in line so headed right up and Troy gave the Beast a GIANT hug. Well he gave his leg a hug anyway since he is like 1/20 of the size of the Beast.
It was so cool to meet the Beast, and seriously, HE IS SO TALL.
On our way out, we stopped at the knights in armor and they were so cool. They talk to each other, snore, and they sneeze sometimes. Reason 39475894356893465 why Be Our Guest is AMAZING.
This is a good video of them.
Awesome, RIGHT?!
IMAGINEERING AT ITS BEST PEOPLE.
JUST SAYIN.
BEAUTIFUL.
Overview of Be Our Guest
Atmosphere: The atmosphere is INCREDIBLE. The only problem is is that it is SO dark in there. Thats why I needed to use a flash on my pictures. I heard the West Wing is SO much worse though. Cant imagine that! 4.5/5
Food: The food was AWESOME. Everything was cooked right, and tasted great! 5/5
Service: Scooter was our waiter and he was nice enough. He seemed a little snotty though. 4/5
And before I forget, the menu at Be Our Guest changes seasonally. It just changed like a month ago. It has most of the same items on it, but they added a few new ones and took away some. I really like that!
As you can see, our experience at Be Our Guest was INCREDIBLE. It is now one of my top favorite restaurants and we will have to go on every trip, for either lunch or dinner, or BOTH! Yall HAVE to try it out. It is DEFINETLY a must do for moi. Disney went above and beyond with the theming, the details, and I could go on for hours. They put you right into the movie and I couldnt ask for anything more.
BEST MEAL EVER.
