Be Our Guest Dinner or BOG & MK Fireworks

[Adam Torres]

Lucked out (and searching day after day) and landed dinner reservations at Be Our Guest for dinner. Originally (also lucked out) had landed lunch reservations on the same day, but everyone tells me the dinner experience is the better of the two. The dinner RSVP is at 9:55pm, which means all of the evening festivities in Main Street would be out. We'll ultimately pick one or the other....Some questions I have for the Disney faithful:

1) Would you pick lunch at BOG and MK fireworks (one in our party has never seen Wishes) or dinner at BOG and skip the fireworks?
2) Is there any sort of fireworks view from BOG, inside or out?
3) Cost isn't a deal breaker, but it is a consideration. We're also slated with RSVP's to Brown Derby, Flying Fish, Bongo's, and Jiko. Is the added cost worth the experience of dinner over lunch, especially knowing we'll miss the show?
4) I know you'll recommend coming back to watch fireworks a different night....I'm not sure our schedule will allow for that, so let's assume this is a no go. WHY, DISNEY, do you have so much to offer beyond our abilities to see in 5 days!?


Thanks in advance for your insights.

We did both lunch and dinner there in October 2014, I absolutely loved both experiences. If that is the only night you could see fireworks then I may go with lunch however the Beast visit during dinner was the highlight of my 4yr olds trip. She wore her Belle gown and danced with him after the dinner.

Somehow I failed to read that the Beast appears during dinner! As we'd be four adults (three males), I think our chances of dancing with the Beast are slim to none , but that sounds like an incredible experience for your daughter!

The most popular reasons for choosing dinner over lunch are 1) alcohol is available at dinner only and 2) the opportunity for a photo with the Beast. If neither of these is a must, then I would choose lunch and the chance to see the fireworks.
