I am sure many threads have talked about Be Our Guest and whether or not it was worth the difficulty of getting the reservation. I just thought I would share our experience.
When I made our ADRs (at 6am 180 days out), I was unable to secure a Be Our Guest dinner reservation for our entire group of 9. I watched and was able to get a lunch reservation for our group when those became available. Our lunch was incredible. We all kept saying that we could not believe we were getting this quality of meal for a QS credit. We had pre-ordered our food so we were able to go right in, found a table in the Rose Room and had all our food relatively quickly. It was a great experience and I would do it again.
But, Beast himself is not there for lunch and DS (2.5) is a huge Beast fan. So I watch the dinner ADRs to see if I could snag one for just DH, DS, and I. I was able to get one later in the evening than we usually eat. My plan was to just have dessert so that DS could meet Beast. When we got there, it was immediately clear that this experience was different than lunch. The grand entrance into the castle and brief tour of all the rooms by the host was a great touch. We were seated in the West Wing, which I may not do again with small children. Even for my huge Beauty and the Beast fan, the thunder and lightning were a bit frightening. We sat down and looked at the menu and quickly decided to just eat a whole dinner. The prices were surprisingly reasonable as the most expensive meal was less than the mediocre breakfast buffet at Chef Mickey's. We were also really excited about the exclusive wines, which were reasonably priced as well and included one of the best Chardonnays I have ever had. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was top notch. After dinner, we went to meet Beast, which made the trip for my DS. He spent a good amount of time with us since the line does not build too much as diners stagger out of the restaurant.
We returned to the resort and immediately told everyone else in our group that we just had to try to get everyone in for dinner next trip. It was truly magical.
