Luckily, I was seated directly beneath a light, so it was no problem for me.

It is dark enough that most of the members in my party had trouble reading the menu. The only negative with this room is that it is very dark. When they all fall off, you will hear a loud crash of thunder and the portrait on the wall will change from the the prince into the shadow of the Beast. The red rose from the movie is located in the corner of the room and you can watch the rose petals fall every 7 to 8 minutes. The next room, named the Forbidden West Wing, is where I dined. Not to say that the other rooms are going to provide a quiet dining experience, but since the ballroom is the largest and is always filled up first, the noise level can get to be very high in there. The one negative with the ball room is that, due to its size and design, it is the noisiest area in the restaurant. You can try to request a table in the ballroom, but there are no guarantees and I don’t recommend it since the cast members almost certainly get this question all the time.

Because of this, the ballroom is where everyone wants to be seated. The theming is incredible and really does put you right in the middle of the story. When you first enter Be Our Guest Restaurant, you are greeted with the massive ballroom. I finally had the opportunity to dine there for dinner in late July, right before the dining format changes (more on that later). Ever since it’s opening, Be Our Guest has been one of, if not the most popular restaurant in Walt Disney World, with reservations being booked up almost immediately as soon as they become available.

Be Our Guest is a table-service restaurant themed to the 1991 Disney animated classic Beauty and the Beast. When the New Fantasyland expansion opened at the Magic Kingdom in 2012, its most popular element was arguably the Be Our Guest Restaurant.
