Updated 11/16/13!
As you likely know, the very popular Be Our Guest restaurant in the New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom is near impossible to snag a dinner reservation for, but did you know lunch is served as a Quick Service meal - meaning no reservations required?
Sounds great, right?
Well, the line starts at park opening and they start serving lunch at 10:30 AM due the popularity of this restaurant! You will be waiting in line for quite some time, and while the line does move along well, there is a better option!
Disney has opened FastPass+ for Be Our Guest lunch reservations, meaning you can select a lunch hour and bypass that long line outside!
This is in TEST and not an official FastPass+ yet.
It seems there are two different paths the system takes. Here are the steps for each:
- Go to: https://beourguestlunch.disney.go.com/ You must login with your MyDisneyExperience information (example, you go by Tim, but your Disney account is Timothy - you must enter Timothy)
- Chose 'Select or Replace'
- Select your date.
- Verify your guests
- Select "Expedited Arrival" or "Direct to Table". Expedited Arrival is where you are able to skip the line outside and order your meal when you arrive. Direct to Table is where you pre-order your meal, skip the line outside, and once you arrive you confirm your order, pay for your meal, and go directly to a table.
- Select your time.
- On the next screen you can pre-order if you'd like, otherwise click Done.
OR
- Go to: https://beourguestlunch.disney.go.com/ You must login with your MyDisneyExperience information (example, you go by Tim, but your Disney account is Timothy - you must enter Timothy)
- Enter your Reservation Number. If you have a Room Only booking it is the 12-digit numeric confirmation. If you booked a Package (room + tickets), you will need your 12-digit Reservation Number, which you can get directly from Disney or from me, your travel agent. The alpha-numeric reservation number will not work.
- Verify your guests and add celebrations
- Select your date.
- Verify your guests (again)
- Select "Expedited Arrival" or "Direct to Table". Expedited Arrival is where you are able to skip the line outside and order your meal when you arrive. Direct to Table is where you pre-order your meal, skip the line outside, and once you arrive you confirm your order, pay for your meal, and go directly to a table.
- Select your time.
- On the next screen you can pre-order if you'd like, otherwise click Done.
This FastPass will not show up in your plans on MyDisneyExperience. You may or may not get a confirmation email, again this is in Test - it's not perfect yet. But rest assured, even if you didn't get a confirmation, the reservation is made.
On the day of your reservation, just show up at your given time, bypass that long line and give them the name the reservation is under. About 15 minutes later you'll be enjoying your delicious lunch!
