You can meet the Beast at Disney World’s Be Our Guest restaurant… but it isn’t easy to find

BEAUTY and the Beast fans who visit Disney World may struggle to find the Beast in the park.
Other characters in the Disney franchise can easily be spotted in a number of locations, such as Mickey Mouse and Pluto who are found on Main Street, USA.
However, the Beast can only be spotted at the Be Our Guest restaurant in the Magic Kingdom Park.
Guests who want to meet him in his beast-form will need to book dinner reservations to be able to see him.

"In order to take advantage of this meet and greet, I recommend making dinner reservations at Be Our Guest Restaurant well in advance of your trip."
However, booking a dinner reservation at Be Our Guest is difficult with it being one of the most popular dining experiences.
have suggested booking as soon as the 180-day advance reservations open to be in with a chance, as the Beast does not appear during breakfast or lunch reservations.
The restaurant offers a fixed menu dinner option which was introduced last summer, with many praising the "Grey Stuff" pudding which is mentioned in the Be Our Guest song.
Guests used to be able to meet the Beast throughout the park with Belle in Epcot, but he now stays within the restaurant and only makes appearances in the daily Festival of Fantasy parade at 3pm.
