The additions to Fantasyland really make you feel as if you are falling into a storybook and the place I felt that most was in the Beast’s Castle. There are so many details that it’s hard to take it all in.

The Beast’s Castle is home to the Be Our Guest Restaurant. The restaurant offers quick-service from 10:30 am – 2:45 pm, then closes until 4 pm when it reopens for seated table service. This restaurant is as popular as Cinderella’s Castle, so expect a wait. A bit of a wait is worth it, especially for anyone that is a true fan of the Beauty and the Beast. Cross the bridge and enter through the iron gates into the story.

Walk across the bridge into the story. Attention to detail and richness of storytelling are hallmarks of Be Our Guest Restaurant. I love the gargoyles throughout the castle. (David Roark, photographer)
