We have been hearing about the Magic Kingdom Fantasyland expansion for such a long time that it comes as a pleasant surprise that one element of this exciting new venture is actually open!
And this is the much heralded restaurant called ' Be Our Guest' that is themed on the Disney film called Beauty and the Beast. This premiered in the early nineties (yes, really! )
As I am sure you are aware, one of the songs in that movie was called ' Be My Guest' so indeed it is a very appropriate title for this new venture.
During the day, this restaurant is a counter service style and in the evening it transforms into a slightly more formal table service venue.
The restaurant is split into 3; The West Wing is where the rose is kept, The ballroom is where Beauty and the Beast danced and The Library is where Belle was presented with some books.
Of course, the theming is done in true Disney style with floor to ceiling medieval windows and lush drapes.
So what will you get to eat? I have to say that they have provided a very tempting menu.
To pick out a few items there is Croque Monsieur, Tuna Nicoise Salad and Braised Pork.
On the dinner menu there is Rotisserie Rack Hen with roasted fingerling potatoes and Shrimp and Scallop in a pastry case with lobster sauce (yum)
Desserts include chocolate or passion fruit puffs and also the ubiquitous cup cake which I find unutterably sweet and dull. However, each to their own!
The children are well catered for, but guess what, not the usual fish fingers, burgers and chips offerings. Instead they can choose from Mickey Meatloaf, Roasted Pulled Pork or a poshed up Macaroni cheese.
As for the rest of this area, well I am afraid that it will be 2013 ' til it is all complete.
The expansion will include a character meet and greet area, Belles Cottage, a larger 3 ring circus and Gastons Tavern.
That is what I love about the Orlando area, there is always something new; in the last few weeks we have had a brand new area at Wet and Wild, the new Freshwater Oasis at Discovery Cove and now this.
