UPDATE 6/17/2015: Be Our Guest Restaurant began testing prix-fixe quick service breakfast beginning March 20 and it’s currently extended through October 3. Advance Dining Reservations for the meal opened on March 17. Breakfast hours are scheduled 8-10AM. Lunch
, Dinner…and now Breakfast?
Be Our Guest Restaurant has proven to be extraordinarily popular. It’s incredibly difficult to get a dinner advance dining reservation (ADR) a full two years after its opening. And lunch continues to be such an attraction that Disney seems to be moving toward a FastPass+ System for the quick service meal — something unprecedented.
But it’s looking more and more like we’ll all have another shot at dining in Beast’s Castle in the very near future.
Be Our Guest Restaurant to Begin Serving Breakfast in February?
We’ve been monitoring rumors forever it seems that Be Our Guest would begin serving breakfast. And it looks like that rumor is about to become a reality.
Our team has been checking daily to see if Be Our Guest is offering a breakfast ADR option…and as of today, they are! Now, before you run over and excitedly jam up the Disney website 😉 , I should mention that, while the breakfast option is showing up, it’s not bookable yet. When we try to book a table, we’re told that we can’t at this time.
Be Our Guest Breakfast Option on Disney World Website
But here’s what we DO know: hours for breakfast are showing as 8 AM until 10 AM daily, beginning on February 25. And this is the same protocol that we saw prior to both Trattoria al Forno and Spice Road Table opening for ADRs — the option showed up before you could actually book a table.
AND — since we’re talking about ADRs here, it’s looking like breakfast will be a sit down, table service option, like dinner.
Ballroom Seating For Breakfast? Yes Please!
We’re not sure if there will be characters there (Beast? Anna? Elsa?) or not, but we can’t wait to find out!
In the meantime, keep your fingers hovering over that “booking” button folks! We imagine you’ll be able to get your February reservations soon!
What do you think — are you as excited as we are about the prospect of dining for breakfast in Be Our Guest Restaurant? Leave a comment and tell us your thoughts!!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
This is VERY EXCITING news !!! Breakfast in the castle would be wonderful !! I am sure the food will be delicious ! Thank you so much for the information !!
Eeeekkkk!!!! We were lucky enough to get lunch & dinner there on our last visit. I’ll have to plan a trip for breakfast! Thanks for the info!
I called Disney Dining to check when they would start taking reservations and they said they haven’t heard that this is happening… Also, that page posted here does not show up on the Be Our Guest Webpage.
I will be at MK during that time…and I managed to get a dinner reservation with a lot of persistence. I hope to get a lunch reservation when my FP+ window opens. I just checked for breakfast, and it looks like they took the option down. I’ll keep trying!

Please share how you managed to get a reservation? What do you mean bye persistence? I have been trying and trying. We will be there just until Feb. 25 🙁 out of luck
Cynthia,
Unfortunately there isn’t really a magic trick. Persistence usually means that you hit the “find table” button on the reservations screen as many times a day as you can stand and be ready to capitalize quickly if one pops up!
I have to be honest- I don’t think the option showing up on the reservation page proves anything. I was checking that page constantly months before my October trip to try and snag a dinner reservation, and I was noticing options for booking both breakfast and lunch way back then. I don’t remember if I was seeing those options on the web reservation page or on the phone app, but the option was definitely there. I really think it was just a bug or something.
That said, it would be nice if they offered breakfast given how busy the other mealtimes are. I would think another solid breakfast option would be a welcome addition anyway. If it turns out the rumors are true, I’ll happily eat my previous words, lol.
@Cynthia:
Don’t give up! I tried to book dinner as soon as my reservation window opened up and had no luck at all. I was checking the reservations page multiple times a day. I ended up snagging a reservation just a couple weeks before our trip. Keep checking now, but I think you’ll actually have better luck as your trip gets closer. I think people tend to cancel closer to their own trips as they iron out their plans, and it also seemed that Disney was releasing additional reservations periodically as I’d hear on message boards about multiple times suddenly being open for a block of days. Good luck!
Thank you Ladies. I will keep trying
Yes…persistence meant I checked for dinner availability online about 10 times a day for 2+ weeks straight during the 4 nights of my stay. Luckily (very luckily) something opened and I snagged it. My heart was racing. I even took a screen shot before clicking submit in case my computer acted up. I hope to get a FP+ lunch reservation. I’ve read conflicting stories of how many days in advance you can book (27, 30, 60, etc). I’m just going to try them all as they come at midnight.
I really wish you all luck! I think the best option is to really try a lot starting about two weeks out. My guess is (unfortunately) people (mainly locals) just take the slots even if they’re not sure that they’re going. But they cancel before having their credit card charged.
I’m trying for breakfast about every hour now. I’ll post if I’m successful.
I was referring to locals taking the dining reservations. And I was a local who always stayed at the resort for various reasons. Now I live far away but close enough to another Disney park in this world. And I know lots of Florida locals who did the same in my group of friends. I just wish u all the best no matter the reason. I haven’t tried for a FP+ spot yet. Soon enough my frustration will begin again 🙂
Elsa? Anna? Are you kidding me? This is Beast’s Castle. This was built for Belle and Beast, don’t to go all Frozen. Come on Disney, not everything can be Frozen. You spent years imagining this project you can’t go all frozen on us.

Cynthia–
Boma: I would recommend booking this for 7pm. This way you can make the most of your last park day and not have to rush out before park close. Also, the Animal Kingdom Lodge is very beautiful and uniquely designed– you might want some time to explore before your meal!
Ohana: I personally think Wishes is much better watched from the beach. The view of Wishes from inside the restaurant varies depending on where you are seated, and there could be many things blocking your view.
Rose & Crown: You might not even have the option to linger for Illuminations, as like before you might not be able to see the fireworks depending on where you are seated. Also, that’s a lot of extra time to linger (assuming Illuminations is at 9?) and isn’t really fair to other people waiting for a table.
As for how to enjoy your last night, Downtown Disney would be perfect as it is open until 2AM. There are really neat shops to walk through and you can see a movie, go bowling, etc.
Enjoy your trip!
Thank you for your advice!!
I will keep Boma and Ohana at 7pm as you suggested. As for Rose and crown the plan is to tell them I will wait as long as need be for an outside table hooefully this will be closer to 7:30. Barring that we will watch from right outside the restaurant.
Just an exciting update!! Got lucky with a BOG reservation for 4:15. Now just need to plan the day around this reservation and still stay up for EMH till 2am :-). Original plan was to rest in the afternoon and come back to MK after dinner
Thanks again for your help
No problem!
Waiting for an outside table should help. If you order apps, dinner and desert and you could easily make it to the 9PM Illuminations!
Enjoy!!
Can you help me fully understand? I just booked us breakfast reservations at the Be Our Guest restaurant, but I’m unclear as to whether this is a quick service meal or a table service meal. Also, do you know if characters are there for breakfast? I’m sure things have changed a lot since this original post…was hoping you maybe had an update to help solve my mystery! Thanks so much! 🙂
Katie — Breakfast is considered a quick service meal in terms of how you order and how Disney Dining Plan Credits are allocated, but we’d rank the food as a cut above normal quick service options, and the price for breakfast is an a la carte price. There are no characters at this meal. Actually, not much has changed about the experience, which is why we haven’t been back to review it more recently, but we are always looking to keep our information relevant, so it’s on the list to re-review in the future. 🙂
