The Atmosphere at Be Our Guest Restaurant — The Beast’s Castle

Welcome to The Beast’s truly magical dwelling. The entrance to Be Our Guest Restaurant is nestled underneath a mysterious castle in the Fantasyland “countryside”!

The scene is set even as you approach the entrance, with gargoyles keeping watch at a few spaces along the stone path.

Passing through an old gateway to a stone bridge and through wrought-iron gates and ultimately to the Castle doors, guests are reminded of the story of the Beast’s transformation.

And now it’s time to step inside…

The Grand Ballroom

Upon arrival, guests enter directly into The Grand Ballroom.

Be Our Guest Restaurant’s Grand Ballroom

The Ballroom conveys the film’s elegance with a coffered, 20-foot ceiling with artwork featuring fluffy clouds and cherubs, sparkling chandeliers and a terrazzo floor.

At the far end of the room, 18-foot-tall arched windows look out to the French countryside, where special effects create gently falling snow through the starry sky.

The West Wing

Home to the Enchanted Rose, entry into the dark and mysterious West Wing is forbidden by The Beast. (Unless, you know, your host or hostess seats you there. Then it’s totally cool.)

The West Wing

The Rose sits in an unassuming corner, and beside it lies the Enchanted Mirror.

The enchanted rose slowly drops petals as time runs out for the beast.

From time to time, thunderstorms rattle the room.

The flashes of lightning simultaneously reveal a change in the portrait hanging over the fireplace from the Prince…

The Castle Gallery

The third room is the Castle Gallery, or the Rose Gallery.

This room just so happens to be Belle’s favorite (as we’ve learned from Cast Members).

Portrait in the Rose Gallery

Here, guests are surrounded by portraits displaying scenes of Belle and The Beast’s life together.

And in the midst of it all is a larger-than-life music box (made by Belle’s father, Maurice, for her wedding) where Belle and The Beast twirl while you dine.

…to these gorgeous entryway mosaics, even the floor is tiled with intricate mosaics!

“And they lived Happily Ever After”

With imagineered details, guests feel as if they’ve been transported inside the beloved film. Check out a video of the massive mural that serves as the ballroom’s backdrop!

We love this decor motif — the enchanted rose from Beauty and the Beast!

Any fan of the film knows that the symbol of the rose plays a significant role in the telling of Beast’s story.

When you arrive for the first time, take note of the roses carved into the backs of restaurant chairs.

Gilded roses add to the motif.

And be sure to look up when passing through the restaurant to take in the rich detail of the ceiling, as well as the roses on the capitals of these pillars.

This stunning stained-glass rose chandelier resembles cathedral windows! The stocky candles that flank the middle panel really convey the feeling that you’re in a castle. And check out that gorgeous blue and gold mosaic domed ceiling!

Beautiful Rose Chandelier

As in all Disney films, music is an important element throughout the Be Our Guest restaurant. Musical themes from the film add to the ambiance. In the Ballroom, a 50-piece orchestra recorded the music from the film. The Rose Gallery, features special music box arrangements of the same pieces heard in the Ballroom, in perfect synchrony, so that guests moving from room to room will hear the same tune transformed from one style to another. It’s in the West Wing, that a somber, melancholy arrangement will be heard.
