AUGUST 16, 2012 BY DOCTOR DISNEY LEAVE A COMMENT
New details have emerged for the Be Our Guest Restaurant that will be a part of the New Fantasyland in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Some new revelations were announced by Disney and they include some changes including moving up the date that reservations can be made from August 28, 2012 to August 20, 2012. Check out the list below to know all you need to know about it.
~ Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) can first be made at 12:00 p.m. EST on Monday, August 20, 2012. The first date that dining reservations can be made for is November 19, 2012 when the previews of the New Fantasyland begin. Beginning on August 20, 2012, ADRs can be made up to 180 days out and only by calling 407-WDW-DINE or visiting the guest services of any Walt Disney World theme park or resort.
Online reservations will be available beginning on August 22, 2012.
~ Lunch at Be Our Guest will be on quick-service credit for lunch and one table-service credit for dinner on the Disney Dining Plan.
~ A credit card will be needed to make a reservation and the same $10 per person cancellation fee will be in place.

Unfortunately we are just missing the ADRs, we leave on 11/17. But the fact they are taking ADRs for Nov 19th tells me they expect the restaurant to be in working order and completely operational----i mean, i doubt they would give you an ADR during this "preview" period and then potentially shut it down at certain times for tweaking.

They'd have some angry guests on their hands. That leads me to believe soft openings might happen the week before. Still holding out hope as you can see....if this, if that........

The blog article didn't say anything about potentially diminished hours or anything for BoG like they've mentioned before around this "preview".......

Well, there are three different dining rooms, they could always shut one or two down at a time. Nothing stops them from limiting the ADRs to whatever manageable stream they may believe they can handle during the preview phase.

I will be on the phone Monday for sure. I am so glad we will get a chance to experience this during our November 23 - December 2 WDW trip. This also gives me hope that we will be able to experience the other FLE attractions and rides during this time frame. Can't wait!

Double Digit dance today - 99 days from check in!

We may be going to Disney in Jan (contemplating running the Half-Marathon), so I'm thinking of maybe dining there. I'm really excited to see the theming and new experience. Plus, my daughter likes Beauty and the Beast.

Here's a new blog about it. Thanks for reading! http://www.disneyparksplanning.com/...-restaurant-to-open-reservations-on-august-20

Disney has yet to comment on that, but I am pretty sure that MVMCPs after December 6 will include at least some of the FLE attractions. As for ones from Nov. 19 to Dec. 6, there's a chance. For dates before Nov. 19, it is highly unlikely.

Anyone notice this hidden mickeys in the pond?

My party is on Dec. 4th. I was hoping the new attractions would be open by then for a head start. It is more likely that I will be able get more done during the party since they are limited ticket events especially if I waited til the end of the night. If not, I will have to battle the crowds on the 5th which is my scheduled MK day.

I'm wishing right along with you!!! I can't see them opening reservations to people expecting a fantastic dining experience...only to have it be a learning experience for the wait staff etc! I'm hoping for some soft openings while we are there! Will we be able to ask any CM if there is a Soft opening in the area? Or just be at the right place at the right time?

I'm wishing too, we will be there Nov. 9 - 13th and really hope we will be able to see some of FL. We have DVC so hoping maybe the preview will be during our time. This waiting is driving me crazy. Between this and the dessert party I am going bonkers. LOL

I LOVE all of these renderings, just wish it was all going to be open when we are there.

Pictures look great. Seems to be a lot of room in front of those walls now with Dumbo gone. It'll probably end up beind a giant stroller parking lot.
Love the greenery on Eric's cliffs. Hard to imagine that it is artificial especially once it is done.
I do like how open and uncrowded the entire new area will be but a part of me just wishes that they cram more rides in...

Did you guys see that ACTUAL menus were released for Be Our Guest!!

Lunch Menu

Dinner

P.S. I just looked at this. I really can't believe that the same dessert options are to be served at the CS and TS! I am sure they just haven't finalized that yet.

 

[Senator Tressel]

Not that impressed with the dinner menu.

 

[rachel09985]

Gosh! I just noticed something weird again!!!

Did you see it said all entrees come with dessert!????!!!!

What is up with that! They really are catering to the dining plan, apparantly.
