It has never been easy to snag an Advance Dining Reservation at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom ever since it opened in late 2012. But that has been especially true as of late, as reservations simply weren’t coming up for dinner availability at all for dates starting in late July. And now we know why…

Beginning July 27, 2018, Dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant will transform from a la carte into a prix fixe dinner menu, featuring your choice of appetizer and entree, along with a personal dessert platter.

Appetizer choices will include the popular French Onion Soup, which will be joined on the list by Charred Octopus with citrus-laced fingerling potatoes, pickled hearts of palm and red pepper coulis; Escargot with herb garlic butter and toasted gremolata; and a selection of assorted meats and cheeses like chicken liver pâté, chorizo sausage Manchego, and truffle tremor as examples.

The entree choices will feature Grilled Center-Cut Filet Mignon with potato au gratin, Romano beans, Cipollini marmalade and a cherry-laced red wine reduction.

Also on the list will be Smoked Black-Eye Pea Tortellini with roasted seasonal vegetables, tomato relish, and basil-scented tomato water.

Additional choices will include Poulet Rouge Chicken, Saffron-Infused Seafood Bouillabaisse, Roasted Lamb Chops and Kurobuta Pork Tenderloins.

And as for that personal dessert platter? That has yet to be announced, but we can only hope (and possibly assume) that at least one of the offerings will feature The Grey Stuff!

Again, this new prix fixe dinner will begin on July 27, and Advance Dining Reservations will open up THIS FRIDAY, February 23rd.

We have now confirmed that Dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant will change from one Table Service credit to two on the Disney Dining Plan. And Wdwmagic.com is reporting that the new dinner will cost $55.00 for adults and $35.00 for children. As always, we’ll keep you posted here!

What won’t be changing? The meal will still not require prepayment — your Advance Dining Reservation will just require a credit card guarantee as it has in the past. And guests will still be able to meet the Beast after dinner! So be sure to tell him we say “Bonjour” the next time you dine for dinner at Be Our Guest!
