The Atmosphere at Be Our Guest Restaurant — The Beast’s Castle

Welcome to The Beast’s truly magical dwelling. The entrance to Be Our Guest Restaurant is nestled underneath a mysterious castle in the Fantasyland “countryside”!

The scene is set even as you approach the entrance, with gargoyles keeping watch at a few spaces along the stone path.

Passing through an old gateway to a stone bridge and through wrought-iron gates and ultimately to the Castle doors, guests are reminded of the story of the Beast’s transformation.

And now it’s time to step inside…

The Grand Ballroom

Upon arrival, guests enter directly into The Grand Ballroom.

Be Our Guest Restaurant’s Grand Ballroom

The Ballroom conveys the film’s elegance with a coffered, 20-foot ceiling with artwork featuring fluffy clouds and cherubs, sparkling chandeliers and a terrazzo floor.

The Grand Ballroom

At the far end of the room, 18-foot-tall arched windows look out to the French countryside, where special effects create gently falling snow through the starry sky.

The West Wing

Home to the Enchanted Rose, entry into the dark and mysterious West Wing is forbidden by The Beast. (Unless, you know, your host or hostess seats you there. Then it’s totally cool.)

The West Wing

The Rose sits in an unassuming corner, and beside it lies the Enchanted Mirror.

Enchanted Rose at Be Our Guest Restaurant

The enchanted rose slowly drops petals as time runs out for the beast.

From time to time, thunderstorms rattle the room.

The flashes of lightning simultaneously reveal a change in the portrait hanging over the fireplace from the Prince…

…. to THE BEAST!

The Castle Gallery

The third room is the Castle Gallery, or the Rose Gallery.

This room just so happens to be Belle’s favorite (as we’ve learned from Cast Members).

Portrait in the Rose Gallery

Here, guests are surrounded by portraits displaying scenes of Belle and The Beast’s life together.

And in the midst of it all is a larger-than-life music box (made by Belle’s father, Maurice, for her wedding) where Belle and The Beast twirl while you dine.

Belle and the Beast

As in all Disney films, music is an important element throughout Be Our Guest Restaurant. Musical themes from the film add to the ambiance. In the Ballroom, a 50-piece orchestra recorded the music from the film. The Rose Gallery, features special music box arrangements of the same pieces heard in the Ballroom, in perfect synchrony, so that guests moving from room to room will hear the same tune transformed from one style to another. It’s in the West Wing, that a somber, melancholy arrangement will be heard.

Even beyond the dining rooms, beautiful touches enhance every inch of Be Our Guest Restaurant, like these gorgeous entryway mosaics.

Thanks to an abundance of Disney Imagineered details, guests truly feel as if they’ve been transported inside the beloved film.

The Beast at Be Our Guest Restaurant

Please be aware that Be Our Guest Restaurant is NOT a Character Meal. However, a rare character does make an appearance: it’s THE BEAST himself!

The Beast greeting guests at Be Our Guest Restaurant

Guests can see The Beast in productions like Fantasmic! And Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage (both in Disney’s Hollywood Studios). But, save for the very rare occasions when he may stop by EPCOT’s France pavilion for a bit of fresh air, this guy is fairly impossible to catch up close. So seeing him at Be Our Guest is certainly a boon. But we must emphasize the word “appearance.” The Beast strolls through the various rooms so guests can see him at one point during their meal. There are no individual table meet and greets or posing for photos — at least, not at this time. Prior to the temporary closure of Disney World in 2020, guests DID get to meet the Beast and pose for a photo with him after their meal. However, that photo opportunity has not regularly returned as part of the experience.

Full Reviews — Current Dining Style at Be Our Guest Restaurant

In July 2018, Be Our Guest Restaurant debuted a Signature Prix-Fixe Dinner menu. When Disney World reopened following the Resort’s temporary closure in 2020, Be Our Guest expanded the Prix-Fixe experience to Lunch as well. Currently, both meals feature the same Signature Prix-Fixe Dining experience. You’ll find our most recent review at the top of the list for the most current menu items:

Full Reviews — Previous Meal Offerings at Be Our Guest Restaurant

The reviews below reflect those experiences as well as a few select limited-time menu offerings, and you’ll first spot our Grand Opening review, as well:

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

You want an immersive dining experience. Be Our Guest really transports you into the world of Beauty and the Beast. There are so many details, and we usually find ourselves sitting with our mouths wide open admiring the restaurant.
You love the Beauty and the Beast movie. If you are a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast, we really think you should make Be Our Guest a must-stop.
You are looking for French-inspired food in a highly themed restaurant. While this isn’t the best food you are going to find at Disney World, we left full, satisfied, and happy. If you love French-inspired food, this would be a great option for your next trip.

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

You are looking for a quick meal. Dining at Be Our Guest will take a bit of time, and we also think you should leave some time to explore the restaurant. Definitely plan the time to enjoy your meal here!
You are looking for a budget-friendly meal. This is not a good option if you are looking for an inexpensive meal. It is a prix fixe menu too, so you won’t be able to choose a less expensive option in hopes of making the meal less expensive.
You are looking for a lighter meal. Your meal consists of an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Plus, you will find lots of cheese, butter, and carbs during your meal. You might consider planning some lighter activities after and not filling up on food before your meal here.

Important Information

The Lunch and Dinner experience requires two table-service credits on the Disney Dining Plan.
The out-of-pocket costs are $72.00 per adult, and $43.00 per child ages 3 to 9.
