Inspired by the Disney Movie Beauty and the Beast, the Be Our Guest Restaurant will seat over 500 guests and will feature foods with a French twist.

Lunch will be quick-service, but a little different than what guests currently find at most counter service locations on property. Guests will order from either a touchscreen terminal or cashier and then have a seat inside the dining room. When your food is ready, it will be delivered to you at your table.

Some of the options on the lunch menu will include:

  • Kid’s Options
    • Mickey Meatloaf
    • Carved Turkey Sandwich
    • Roasted Pulled Pork
    • Whole-Grain Macaroni topped with Marinara and Mozzarella
    • Seared Mahi Mahi
For dinner, the restaurant will transform into a table service location. Dinner menu options will include:
  • Appetizers
    • A Charcuterie plate with cured meats and sausages
    • Mussels steamed in white wine
    • Potato Leek soup
    • French onion soup
    • Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette
  • Entrées
    • Grilled Strip Steak with Pommes Frites
    • Thyme-Scented Pork Rack Chop with Au Gratin Pasta
    • Rotisserie Rock Hen with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
    • Pan-Seared Salmon in Leek Fondue
    • Oven-Baked Ratatouille
    • Sautéed Shrimp and Scallops with Veggies in Puff Pastry with Creamy Lobster Sauce
  • Dessert
    • Cupcakes (Strawberry Cream Cheese or Triple Chocolate)
    • Chocolate Cream Puff
    • Passion Fruit Cream Puff
  • Kid’s Options
    • Grilled Steak
    • Whole-Grain Macaroni
    • Grilled Chicken Breast
    • Grilled Fish of the Day

Advance Dining Reservations for Be Our Guest Restaurant will open up some time in late August. The restaurant is scheduled to be open for the holidays. The Be Our Guest Restaurant is part of the New Fantasyland® Expansion which is taking place at Magic Kingdom® Park.

Pizzeria to Open at Epcot’s Italy Pavilion

An authentic pizzeria will be opening at Italy Pavilion at Epcot later this year!

The new 300-seat restaurant will have traditional Florentine architecture, vaulted-ceilings and outside dining. And the food will be authentic with Italian dishes (complimenting the offerings at Tutto Italia ) and pizza from wood-burning ovens.

The pizzeria will be the newest flagship restaurant in the Patina Restaurant Group’s portfolio. And one of the special touches at the Epcot location will be the water. It’ll be imported from a source where the composition most resembles water used in Naples, Italy, to make the authentic Italian dough.

A name for the family-style pizzeria has not been finalized as of yet.  Construction is currently underway and the restaurant is scheduled to open in fall 2010.  Can’t wait to check it out?  Click here to start planning your Walt Disney World Vacation now!
