For months, rumors have been circulating that Be Our Guest Restaurant<\/a>, one of the newest and most popular restaurants at the Magic Kingdom, would soon be offering breakfast. \u00a0Disney fans were delighted to finally find out last week that the rumors were true!<\/p>\n

As soon as the new breakfast menu and hours were announced, reservations at the restaurant became the hottest ticket in town. \u00a0I knew that reservations would be tough to get, so at 6:00 am on the first day reservations were offered, my friend and I were at our computers ready to go. \u00a0The early wake-up call paid off and we were able to snag a reservation for this past Saturday. \u00a0So exciting!<\/p>\n

The Be Our Guest Restaurant is one of my favorites. \u00a0I really enjoy the decor and the feeling that you have just set foot into a real castle. \u00a0As you enter the restaurant, cast members direct you to an area where you will place your order on a touch screen. \u00a0Ordering for breakfast works the same way as lunch does (dinner is a table service meal rather than casual dining). \u00a0The names of the meals, as well as pictures, appear on the screen and you select your meal by tapping the item on the screen.<\/p>\n

I asked some cast members if it is possible to modify any of the meals. They told me that since the breakfast offering is so new, making on-screen modifications is not yet possible for personal preferences, but if you have food allergies or sensitivities, be sure to let a cast member know. \u00a0They are willing to help you make any necessary changes to your meal and allergy information is available through the ordering system. \u00a0The chef is also more than willing to talk with guests about meals to ensure that any allergy needs are met.<\/p>\n

\"Touch<\/a>

The breakfast menu is prix fixe, so all adult breakfast items are $19.99 and kids\u2019 menu items are $11.99. \u00a0These prices include a drink. \u00a0A variety of soft drinks, coffee, tea, milk, and juice are available. You can also purchase a souvenir light-up goblet, Ariel light-up cup, or pirate cup for those who want to truly feel like princes and princesses!<\/p>\n

Choosing what to eat was difficult because there were so many things I wanted to try! \u00a0I found myself wishing for a \u201cone of everything\u201d option! It took some effort, but I managed to keep myself from ordering everything on the menu and we decided to order one savory breakfast and one sweet one and share. \u00a0We decided on the Eggs Florentine and the Croissant Doughnut (this one looked too amazing to pass up). The 8-year-old in our party selected French Toast from the kids\u2019 menu.<\/p>\n

After ordering, we entered the main restaurant to choose a table. There are three rooms in the restaurant and each one has a very unique feel. \u00a0The largest is the ballroom which is decorated to make you feel like royalty. \u00a0The high ceiling is beautiful and ornate chandeliers glow to give the room a grand feel. \u00a0To the right of the ballroom, you will find the Castle Gallery. \u00a0This room is warm and cheery with a large figurine of Belle and the Beast dancing at its center. \u00a0On the other side of the ballroom, you will find the West Wing.<\/p>\n

A favorite of many, myself included, this is usually the most popular room. \u00a0It is dimly lit and eerily decorated to really give it that \u201cforbidden\u201d feel. \u00a0The glowing rose sits delicately at the back of the room. \u00a0When lightning strikes, as it often does during your dining experience, be sure to look at the portrait of the prince on the wall. \u00a0You may find a beastly surprise there! \u00a0Although this is not a character meal, you can almost feel the presence of the Beauty and the Beast characters through the decor.<\/p>\n

\"Which<\/a>

Drinks are self-serve, so we each selected our drink and brought it back to the table. \u00a0\u00a0In no time at all, a cast member came to our table with a food cart containing our meals. \u00a0I knew as soon as I saw our breakfast that it was going to be fantastic!<\/p>\n

Each meal begins with a selection of pastries. \u00a0They looked delicious and we would soon find out that they were. \u00a0Since we were two different parties sitting together and had ordered separately, we had two pastry trays brought to our table.<\/p>\n

Once all of the food had arrived, it was almost overwhelming. \u00a0Any hesitations I originally had about a price tag of $19.99 were erased when I saw all that was included with the meal. \u00a0We decided to skip the pastries for the moment and dive right in to our entrees.<\/p>\n

We had a hard time deciding between the Open-Face Bacon and Egg Sandwich and the Eggs Florentine. We ultimately decided on the Eggs Florentine, but the sandwich was a very popular choice among guests. I saw lots of clean plates, so it must be as yummy as the other items!<\/p>\n

The Eggs Florentine was delicious and I definitely did not regret ordering it. \u00a0\u00a0The eggs are served in a fluffy, pastry croissant-like shell that serves as a \u201cbasket\u201d for all of the ingredients. \u00a0The eggs were cooked perfectly, not too dry and not too runny. \u00a0I also really enjoyed the spinach, but the Gruyere cheese was my favorite part. \u00a0It was creamy with a mild flavor that complimented the eggs well. The dish was served with two small slices of country ham and roasted tomatoes, creating a perfect medley of flavors. It all went together very well.<\/p>\n

Next up, the croissant doughnut. \u00a0All I have to say is WOW! \u00a0If you want to indulge at breakfast, this is the way to do it. This entree could easily fall into the dessert category. The doughnut was light and flaky, similar in texture to the one you can find at Epcot, but the flavors are very different. \u00a0The Epcot version is very heavy on the cinnamon and sugar, but this one has a flavor more like a danish. \u00a0I fully expected a repeat of the Epcot doughnut and it was a pleasant surprise that they were so different. \u00a0I recommend trying both!<\/p>\n

The hole of the doughnut is filled with a custard that was creamy and had a hint of citrus flavoring. \u00a0The doughnut is topped with fresh bananas, caramel sauce and a dash of chocolate. \u00a0If that is not decadent enough for you, they finish the topping with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar! This was the favorite of our group by far. It was incredibly sweet though and I was glad that we decided to cut both dishes in half. \u00a0Half of the doughnut was plenty for me and I think it would have been a bit too much without the eggs to balance out all that sugar.<\/p>\n

The kids\u2019 French toast was a bit of a disappointment. \u00a0Although it earned the stamp of approval from our young critic, I thought this dish was very bland. \u00a0I was happy that brioche was used instead of plain white bread and was expecting it to be tasty, but overall it was very dry, even with the maple syrup on top. \u00a0It probably didn\u2019t help that I had just eaten a few bites of the doughnut, so after that, the french toast just tasted like toast with powdered sugar and syrup.<\/p>\n

The only other complaint I had was that the coffee was very weak.\u00a0 It is possible that we just got a particularly watered-down pot. No worries though, we got our morning caffeine fix later on at Starbucks on Main Street.<\/p>\n

By the time we finished our meals, we were stuffed! \u00a0We asked for a to-go box and took our pastries with us. \u00a0This worked out well because we snacked on them throughout the day. \u00a0All of the pastries were yummy, but we had a few favorites. \u00a0My personal favorite was the danish. \u00a0The middle was filled with raspberry and a very creamy cheese filling. \u00a0It tasted almost like cheesecake. \u00a0The blueberry mini-muffin was also a big hit. \u00a0It was soft and fresh with a sprinkle of sugar topping. \u00a0Last, but most certainly not least, was the chocolate croissant. \u00a0Like the doughnut, this one goes in the dessert category. The pastry was flaky and buttery and it was loaded with chocolate. We absolutely loved this one!<\/p>\n

When we returned home, a friend asked if breakfast or lunch was the better meal choice at Be Our Guest. \u00a0For me, it is just too hard to choose. \u00a0I love the lunch the menu and the chance to relax in the middle of the day in the air conditioning. \u00a0I really enjoy slipping in the West Wing and escaping the hustle and bustle of the park for a while.<\/p>\n

Breakfast had a much more relaxed feel. \u00a0The restaurant was not as crowded (though this may change if they begin allowing more reservations). \u00a0The food was great and the pastries felt like a bonus snack for later in the day. \u00a0Starting the day off with a substantial meal allowed us to eat lunch much later in the day and avoid the crowds. \u00a0I loved both and am looking forward to visiting again for breakfast and lunch!<\/p>\n

The Be Our Guest breakfast menu is currently in the testing phase and will be available until June 18. \u00a0If you aren\u2019t able to make it before then, I wouldn\u2019t worry too much. \u00a0I can\u2019t say for sure, but based on how popular it has been so far, I have a feeling this one is here to stay. I have my fingers crossed that it will! \u00a0I am already dreaming of the croissant doughnut and my next breakfast reservation!
