Be Our Guest (Lunch) Review

If you have been reading my blog for a while then you know that Be Our Guest is one of my favorite restaurants in Disney World! My favorite thing about this restaurant is how you can eat in Beauty and the Beast’s Castle.

You can choose to eat in either three different rooms: the Beast’s room, the ballroom, or the library. We ate in the Beast’s room.

I was curious about eating in the Beast’s room because I have eaten in both the library and the ballroom before, but never the Beast’s room. The Beast’s room does not have as much lighting as shown in these pictures because my phone lightens pictures in dark rooms automatically. I just want to warn you because if you are someone who doesn’t really like the idea of eating in the dark, then you might want to choose one of the other rooms.

This room is really cool because there is a painting of a prince, but then when you hear the sound of thunder through out the room, the picture changes to a picture of the Beast.

Picture of the prince.

You can also see the rose hidden under glass in the Beast’s room.

Now, let’s talk about the food at Be Our Guest! At Be Our Guest you are given an appetizer, entree, and a dessert trio. First, we were given bread and butter.

My appetizer was Meat and Cheese. I was not the biggest fan of it because I did not like most of the cheeses.

My parents had the Country Seasonal Salad as their appetizer.

Al’s appetizer was the Fruit and Cheese Plate from the kids menu.

For my entree I had the Center-Cut Filet Mignon. I asked for no potatoes and mushrooms. I like filet mignons, so I liked this dish.

My dad also had the Center-Cut Filet Mignon. He also thought it was really good.

My dad had Poulet Rouge Chicken. She asked for it without bread pudding. She really liked his chicken.

Al had the Pan-seared Chicken Breast from the kids menu. He enjoyed his food.

The dessert trio on the adult menu comes with a Lemon Jam Macaron, a Chocolate Tart (the Chocolate Tart has the grey stuff in it!), and a Dark Chocolate Truffle. All three of these desserts were delicious! My favorite was the Chocolate Tart because the grey stuff tasted really good. I also loved the filling in the Lemon Jam Macaron. My only problem with the Dark Chocolate Truffle was that it was too much chocolate.

The dessert trio from the kids menu comes with a macaron, grey stuff, a white chocolate cup, and a chocolate truffle. The frosting on Al’s plate is also edible.

I give Be Our Guest 5 Mickey Bars!

My Top Five Favorite Live Shows In Disney World

Disney World has many amazing live shows and today I will be sharing with you my favorite ones!

5. My fifth favorite live show is The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats in the China pavilion. This live show is actually performed by kids! This show even made my list of My Top Five Favorite Things To Do In The China Pavilion. Update: Due to the corona virus, The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats is currently closed.

4. My forth favorite live show is Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage in Magic Kingdom. You get a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story in the form of a musical. Now if this show is outside, why is it in front of The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats in my ranking? Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage has a cover and many fans that will help you stay cool. This show is great and Gaston is really funny! Update: Due to the corona virus, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage is currently closed.

Gaston being Gaston.

3. My third favorite live show is Frozen Sing Along in Hollywood Studios. Princess Anna is trying to find her sister Queen Elsa and to pass the time the storytellers of Arendelle tell you the Frozen story. I really like all the jokes that the storytellers say and sometimes they even make each other start laughing. Even if you aren’t a fan of the movie Frozen, you will still enjoy this show.

2. My second favorite live show is the Festival of the Lion King show in Animal Kingdom. During this show, you sit in either the elephant, warthog, giraffe, or lion sections. The Festival of the Lion King is celebrating Simba. I really like how much dancing is in this show and you get to hear music from the movie. Update: Due to the corona virus, The Festival of the Lion King is currently closed, but it’s coming back this summer!

  1. My favorite live show in Disney World is the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! in Hollywood Studios. It is a stunt show with a lot of fire and explosions. During the show they ask for volunteers to help with stunts. You must be 18 or older to participate. There is a big surprise during the show. If you want to know what the surprise is, then you have to watch the show! Update: Due to the corona virus, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! is currently closed.

Those are my top five favorite live shows in Disney World. This was a very hard list to make since I like many live shows in Disney World!

My Top Five Favorite Things About Be Our Guest Restaurant

It has been a long time since I have done a blog article for My Top Five Favorite Things Series, so today I will be sharing my top five favorite things about Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom.

5. Be Our Guest has different menus for lunch and dinner. If you are going to Be Our Guest for lunch I think you should try the Croque Monsieur. A Croque Monsieur is a ham and cheese sandwich. I had it when I went to Be Our Guest for lunch two years ago and I thought it was delicious!

The Croque Monsieur.

4. For dinner at Be Our Guest I had the Filet Mignon.  It comes with green beans, carrots, and potatoes. This is delicious and I would recommend trying this if you are going to eat dinner at Be Our Guest.

3. I love how if you are eating in the ballroom it looks like it is snowing outside!

It’s hard to tell in this picture, but it looks like it’s snowing.

2. Last time I went to Be Our Guest I absolutely loved my dessert! For dessert you always get the Dessert Trio Platter. The Dessert Trio Platter includes a macaron filled with raspberries inside, white chocolate cup (it’s edible!) filled with the grey stuff with crisp pearls, and dark chocolate truffle that is filled with dark chocolate ganache.

You even get a picture of a rose and “paint” to color the picture. Except it’s not paint, it’s actually frosting that you can eat! You can eat the picture when you are done painting it.

The “paint”.
  1. The best part about Be Our Guest is how you can choose to eat from three themed rooms. You can eat in the ballroom, the Beast’s room, or the library. This is really cool because you feel like you are actually eating in Beauty and the Beast’s castle.
This is in the library.

Be Our Guest is my favorite restaurant in Magic Kingdom so if you are looking for a place to eat in Magic Kingdom for lunch or dinner, then you should go to Be Our Guest.

Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage Review

Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage is in Hollywood Studios.

It is a musical outdoors (there is a cover and tons of fans) that tells the story of Beauty and the Beast.

If you are looking for something to do then you should go to Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage because it will take you out of the heat. Even though it is outside, it is under a cover and has fans.

Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage has a lot of singing and dancing too!

The best part about this show is that it NEVER has a line so you don’t have to wait to see it.

Below are videos from Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage. Don’t forget to go to my DisneywithIzzy YouTube channel to see a bunch of other videos and don’t forget to subscribe!

Hollywood Studios FastPass+ Tiers Change Again

FastPass+ tiers will be changing again on February 14th.

I have talked about tiers before back in June and you can look at the post here!

Just as a reminder Tier 1 is for the popular attractions and Tier 2 is for the not as popular attractions. Tiers make it easier to ride popular rides with a minimal wait time. When you reserve Fastpasses, you can get one Fastpass from Tier 1 and two Fastpasses from Tier 2.

Alien Swirling Saucers!

Now you can use Tier 1 on Slinky Dog Dash and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. Slinky Dog Dash should be your top priority, since this ride has the longest lines, while Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run in Galaxy’s Edge is now second priority.

Slinky Dog Dash!

This is going to be really helpful because now you don’t need to wait as long in line as before.

Tier 2 is also split into categories. Your top priority for getting a Fastpass+ should be for Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, since those rides have long lines.

Muppet Vision 3D!!

Second priority is for Toy Story Mania, Alien Swirling Saucers, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, MuppetVision 3D, Disney Junior Dance Party, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, Fantasmic!, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, Star Tours, and Frozen Sing Along. That is a lot of rides!

Voyage of the Little Mermaid!


I hope this helps you with Fastpasses at Hollywood Studios.

How Disney Stays Ahead Of Its Competition

Disney does have competition and I will tell you how they stay ahead of their competition.

First off, it’s Disney’s merchandise. They always have merchandise for special events like Christmas or Halloween.

Disney also has different collections so if you have, for example, an Imagination Pink Loungefly backpack then you probably want to match with the same color pink hat, shirt, and water bottle.

The Imagination Pink collection!

The merchandise is really expensive and Disney is making a lot of money because they have the merchandise in different colors.

The Rose Gold Collection!

Another way Disney is ahead is the Cast Members. The Cast Members (the people who work in Disney World) are always friendly and in a good mood. This is not the case in other amusement parks. In Universal they have friendly people too but besides Disney World and Universal other amusement parks just do not have very friendly people. The people that work at other amusement parks always look annoyed and like they don’t want to be there. Friendly cast members are very important because if a person has a good interaction with a cast member then they will want to come back to Disney World or Universal.

Disney is also constantly updating its parks by adding new rides. If, for example, you’re a big Star Wars fan then you probably want to go to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios. Then you will make the long journey to Disney World and Disney gets a lot of money! While we are on the topic, Rise of the Resistance opened on December 5.

Other rides that are coming are Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Train in the spring of 2020 in Hollywood Studios, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is coming next summer in the France pavilion, and Beauty and the Beast Sing Along debuts January 2020.

These are a few ways that Disney stays ahead of its competition.

The New Things Happening at Epcot

Every year Disney World changes something about their parks.  Here is a list of some of the changes happening to Epcot. 

So many new surprises at Epcot!

Now let’s talk about the pavilions.  Over in the France Pavilion, Disney is building Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, but it won’t be open until the spring of 2020.  This ride is actually open in Disneyland Paris already.  Also in the France Pavilion there is going to be a Beauty and the Beast Sing-a-long.  It will alternate with Impressions de France, the show that is currently in the France Pavilion.  In Canada, the show “O’ Canada” is going to be getting a makeover.  In the Japan Pavilion, Disney is opening another table service restaurant.

First of all, the Disney Skyliner will open in the Fall of 2019.  It will be a transportation network high in the sky that will take you from Pop Century, Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach and the upcoming Disney Riviera resort to the International Gateway at Epcot and Hollywood Studios.  I’m excited!  Illuminations unfortunately is being replaced by Epcot Forever, a new night time show that will be playing 80’s music.

Calling all Mission Space fans!  A space themed restaurant is opening near Mission Space in 2020. 

Mission Space!

I am really excited about these updates and am looking forward to seeing the rides, restaurants, skyliners and Epcot Forever this year and 2020!

A Beginner’s Guide to the World Showcase: Spotlight on France

A replica Eifel Tower is in the background.

The France Pavilion is a great place to relax. It is a great pavilion to visit because there is so much to do.

Chefs de France is behind the acrobat show.

Food: Chefs de France is one of the first restaurants you spot in the France Pavilion. The other restaurant is called Monsieur Paul. It is only open for dinner. Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie has croissants, mouthwatering eclairs, mousse, and much more! When I went there I tried the macaroons. They are outstanding! L’Artisan des Glaces is an ice cream shop. It is very popular. Update: La Crêperie de Paris is a restaurant that serves sweet and savory crepes.

Shopping: Souvenirs de France has many classic French souvenirs, such as berets, t-shirts, mini Eiffel Towers and many books about cities, the language, and French artists. This is a store worth checking out.

The acrobat show is awesome!

Entertainment: The France Pavilion does have a show called Impressions de France. Unlike the shows in the China and Canada, you get to sit and watch it like at a movie theater. The show is a little outdated but it’s still a great show. Update: Impressions de France has been replaced with Beauty and the Beast Sing Along. Belle from Beauty and the Beast is available in France for autographs and photos. There is also an acrobat (Serveur Amusant) that performs most of the afternoon. It is a fun and exciting show! France is also getting some new attractions. Ratatouille: The Adventure will be similar to the ride in Disneyland Paris. Chef Skinner will chase guests through Gusteau’s Parisian restaurant on a trackless ride. Can’t wait! Update: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened on October 1, 2021.

Don’t forget to get your passport stamped!

My Favorite Restaurant at Magic Kingdom

My favorite restaurant at Magic Kingdom is Be Our Guest.  At Be Our Guest Restaurant you get to experience eating at the Beast and Belle’s castle!  You get to choose where you want to sit from three themed rooms: the ballroom, the Beast’s room or the library.  My favorite is the ballroom because it looks exactly like it does in the movie and also because if you look out the windows, it’s snowing! 

If you go for dinner, at the end of the meal you get to meet the Beast and take a picture with him.  I like to go at lunch.  Since I am eleven years old, I order from the adult menu.  My favorite is the Croque Monsieur (the ham and cheese sandwich).  It’s delicious!  For dessert I have the Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake.  Yum!  I would totally recommend this restaurant.

The Croque Monsieur and the Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake. Yum!
