We were at Be Our Guest restaurant for dinner on the last night of our visit, 2/11/13, just my DH and me. That entire area around the new fantasyland was packed. People were attempting to make walk up ressies with no luck. I could hear them asking if there was anything for today, tomorrow, and even for the whole week and were being told no. I also heard the CM say no one had canceled "ever" to her knowledge LOL.
We waited on the bridge with our buzzers in front of the restaurant (outside) for about 15 minutes. If this were summer, it would have been very hot and uncomfortable. Hope they find some way to allow people inside to wait in the future. We were in Beast's study for dinner. there was a little lightening storm every little while in that room and the portrait transformed from the prince to the beast and back to the prince again (very quickly, don't blink!), and Beast made a super fast appearance a few times as well. Don't worry if you don't get a picture at dinner, you will probably have a photo op on your way out, at least we did at dinner when we were there. The castle guards are great, they "talk" etc and are very entertaining. The large room (ballroom) is huge! The ceiling in the ballroom has angel cherubs that were inspired by the Imagineer's children. The snow was cool in the ballroom too.
As for the "grey stuff" from the song in the movie, it was mousse stuff that tasted ok too, more just a cute photo op than anything. I asked for it specifically, otherwise the server would not have mentioned it. I saw they had this awesome light up souvenier cup, but i think it was $20. I kind of wish I had it now though, lol. I think it was more (technically) a kids cup. I came close to getting it, but my DH would have probably thought I was nuts.
Not many choices for dinner, and dinner was just ok. I was glad we checked it out, we will go again someday!

) very dark?? When we were there during lunch it was so dark you could barely navigate around the room. 
I will be there two weeks from Saturday on the 20th and I cannot wait
