New Tests Being Done at Be Our Guest Restaurant

The new Be Our Guest Restaurant officially opened on December 6, 2012 as part of the New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom Park. This restaurant offers fast casual service for lunch with a very innovative table delivery service. That said, Disney is already looking into some options to speed up the ordering process:

"In December, selected Guests (Club Level Concierge Guests at select resorts) will have the opportunity to select an “arrival window” for their lunch at Be Our Guest Restaurant prior to arriving at the restaurant. This will happen via a website, similar to the FastPass+ testing that has taken place this year.

Once a participating Guest selects an arrival window, the Guest can view the menu online and choose to order their meal ahead of time as well. If a Guest does not order ahead, the Guest can place an order at a kiosk upon arrival at Be Our Guest Restaurant. If a Guest chooses not to select an arrival window, they then have the option of ordering their meal ahead of time and arriving to Be Our Guest Restaurant between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Guests will then experience an expedited payment process upon arrival.

Whether a Guest orders ahead or places an order at a kiosk upon arrival, they will receive a magic rose which enables their meal be delivered directly to the table, just like all Guests at Be Our Guest Restaurant."

This sound very interesting and also very... troubling in our opinion. We will definitely keep an eye on this test.
