Fantasyland's new 'Be Our Guest Restaurant' is
already on the leading edge of restaurant technology and it looks like things are about to go a step further.
Starting this month, selected guests are going to be given the chance to choose an arrival time for lunch online, and even choose items from the menu prior to their arrival. This will all be done on a website, similar to the new FASTPASS+ system that is already in testing with guests. Once the arrival time and menu items have been selected, the guest will arrive at the designated time, check in and pay at an express location, take the magic rose to the table of their choice, and the food will be delivered.
The test will be limited in numbers, with guests being invited into the test at their resort check-in. Regular walkups for lunch will still be available for all other guests not taking part in the test.
'Be Our Guest Restaurant' has been incredibly popular, with dinner reservations being near 100% booked for 180 days in advance, and the lunch queue beginning at park opening. This new system being tested looks like a way to manage guest flow through the restaurant more effectively, and reduce time taken in the ordering phase once inside the restaurant.
