Some lucky people were able to preview some of the delicious dishes that will be coming to the Be Our Guest restaurant opening November 19th as part of New Fantasyland today at Walt Disney World. But what seems to have shocked most of social media is that they actually revealed that assorted wines and beers will be served. This will make history as the Magic Kingdom has been a “dry” theme park since it opened in 1971.
A team of Disney chefs spent more than three years developing the French-inspired menu, creating both a quick-service menu for lunch and a more elegant table-service menu for dinner. While the quick-service lunch will have a French bistro flair, dinner will be a more elegant affair with dishes themed to the film: a whole roasted hen, a pork rack chop, pan-seared salmon with leek fondue and saffron potatoes. Gourmet cupcakes and mousse-filled cream puffs are finished tableside.
As quoted from the Disney Parks Blog “More than ever, we’re using storytelling and creativity as we develop our menus,” says Maribeth Bisienere, vice president of Food & Beverage and Merchandise for The Walt Disney Company. “We’re continually creating magical experiences, and Be Our Guest Restaurant at New Fantasyland is the next step in the evolution.
Diners will be seated in either the majestic Ballroom, the Rose Gallery or the West Wing. Below are some items in which you can dine on. And just for dinner, select wines and beers will be offered that complement the French-inspired cuisine. The wines will focus on France’s wine-growing regions and they will also be offering the leading French beer, Kronenbourg.
