Is Be Our Guest worth it? For me, yes. It was one of the most magical meals I have had at Disney World, and I would go back. But it is not for everyone, so here is my honest take on the food, the dining rooms, the cost, and who should book it.
Quick Answer: Is Be Our Guest Worth It?
Yes, Be Our Guest is worth it if you love Beauty and the Beast and have the time for a sit-down dinner. It is on the expensive side, but I thought it was a one-of-a-kind experience. If you are not a big fan of the movie, it may not be a must-do for you.
Here is who I think it is best for:
- Families: Kids who love Belle and the Beast will be amazed.
- Date night: It is a great pick if someone in the couple loves Beauty and the Beast.
- Not a big fan? You can skip it, but the walk up to the castle is still fun.
What Is Be Our Guest?
Be Our Guest is a table-service restaurant in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom. It is themed after Beauty and the Beast, and it has three dining rooms inside the Beast’s castle. Dinner is typically a tasting-menu style meal, known as prix fixe, with different options for each course. My group paid around $72++ per adult and $43++ per child (ages 3 to 9) in 2026, but prices are always subject to change, so check Disney’s Be Our Guest page for the latest details before you book.

The Walk Up to the Castle
Getting to Be Our Guest is part of the fun. The walk up to the castle and through it is an experience all on its own. Even if you never eat there, it is worth seeing.
The 3 Be Our Guest Dining Rooms
Be Our Guest has three different dining rooms. I sat in the Grand Ballroom, but I took photos of all three so you can see what each one looks like.
The Grand Ballroom (My Favorite)
The ballroom was where I ate, and it was so magical. My favorite part was the huge windows. They show the actual animation from the movie, with snow falling in the nighttime darkness. I could have stared at them all night.
The Beast also visited our table a couple of times during dinner. That was such a fun surprise. I cannot promise it will happen at every meal, but it made my night.
The West Wing
The West Wing is much darker and moodier than the ballroom. This is where you will see the enchanted rose glowing in front of a blue window. It is a great room for fans who love the darker side of the story.
The Rose Gallery
The Rose Gallery is brighter and has figures of Belle and the Beast on a clock. It has movie art on the walls and comfy green seating.
What I Ate at Be Our Guest
I went for dinner, and I had the salmon. Since it is a tasting-menu style meal with options for each course, my group tried 3 different appetizers and one of each dessert, so we got to sample a lot of the menu. Menus change, so look at Disney’s dinner menu for Be Our Guest to see what is offered now.
And yes, I tried the grey stuff. It was delicious! If you love Beauty and the Beast, you know the line. In my photo, it is the small chocolate dessert with the grey frosting on the white plate. The red rose dessert is a separate treat.

Is Be Our Guest Worth the Money?
Be Our Guest is on the expensive side, so it is fair to ask if it is worth it. I think it is very worth it, especially for families or for a date night where someone loves Beauty and the Beast and Belle.
If you are not a big fan of the movie, I am not sure it is a must-do. You could spend that money on another meal or a treat in the park. I did not have a dining plan on my trip. If you are trying to decide whether to add one, my guide on which Disney World package is the best walks through the dining plan math. You can also see what each plan includes on Disney’s dining plan page. For the full breakdown, see is the Disney Dining Plan worth it.
