How To Get A FastPass+ Reservation At "Be Our Guest" Restaurant

Be Our Guest is the brand new restaurant inside the Beast's Castle in Magic Kingdom's New Fantasyland expansion. One of the cool things about this particular restaurant is, while it's a Table Service restaurant for dinner, it's a Quick Service restaurant at lunch. Dinner reservations fill up pretty quickly here, and the lines for lunch can get pretty long, too. While my best advice for dinner is to book as early as possible, there is a way, that I'd like to pass along to you, for you to grab up a FastPass+ Reservation for lunch, and avoiding that line all together. Plus, it won't even use up one of your initial 3, pre-trip FastPass Reservation slots. Here's what to do:


1. Log on to http://BeOurGuestLunch.disney.go.com using your Disney.com account.

2. Enter your Resort Reservation Number when prompted.
  • If you have a Room Only Reservation, this is simply your Confirmation Number. You can find this number in the "My Reservations" section of StartYourDisneyExperience.com.
  • If you have a Magic Your Way Package, please note that your Confirmation Number is different than your Resort Reservation Number. While your Confirmation Number includes letters, the number you're looking for does not. The way to find this number has been changing, as of late.
    • Previously, it has been available in guests' My Disney Experience accounts. Its looks like that has been removed and Online Support Cast Members have confirmed as such.
    • Give the Cast Members at 407-W-DISNEY a call and simply ask them for your Reservation ID Number. Again, this is different than your Confirmation Number, as it contain all numbers, and be 12 digits long.
    • The Resort Reservation Number may be found once you are able to check-in to your resort online, 60 days prior to your arrival. Head to the "My Reservations" section of your My Disney Experience account and clink on the link that says, "Check-In Online." The ID Number may be the 12-digit string of numbers at the very end of the page URL. I will check on this as soon as my own reservation hit that 60 days out mark.
    • Look for an email invitation to be sent to you, by Disney, approximately 28 days prior to check-in.
    • If you are flying, your Resort Reservation Number will be listed inside your the booklet you receive in the mail, with your Magical Express information.

3. From here, simply follow the on-screen prompts and you'll be fine! First, choose to Select a Reservation.

4. Select a date and then confirm that all the people in your party whom you would like to make reservations for are listed. If they aren't, you may need to link the missing people to the reservation on your My Disney Experience account or by calling 407-939-5277.

5. Decide if you would like to head Direct to Table, by making your menu selections now, or if you would rather select your food when you arrive at the restaurant (Expedited Arrival). On the same page, choose an arrival time.
  • If you chose Expedited Arrival, your are all set! Just show up at Be Our Guest at your appointed time, with your Magic Band on, and head to the FastPass+ queue!
  • If you chose Direct to Table, you'll be presented with options to go ahead and select meals for the members of your party first. There are even filters available to automatically remove options from the menu that contain certain allergens.

So, there you go! This system has gone through some changes since it was first put into place, though the main changes have revolved around how to go about getting that pesky Resort Reservation Number. Let me know if things work differently then I have talked about here when you go through the process and I'll make sure to update this post. I'll do the same on my end!

Bon appétit!
