ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Beer and wine will be on
the menu when the new Be Our Guest restaurant opens later this year in
Disney's Magic Kingdom.
Disney officials told the Orlando Sentinel Thursday that they've listened to feedback from guests who've said
they'd like the option of being served beer or wine with dinner. The
restaurant will open in November as part of the Fantasyland expansion.
It's the first time in the Magic Kingdom's 41-year history that the park will serve beer and wine.
Sales will be restricted to
dinnertime hours. The restaurant is based on Disney's "Beauty and the
Beast" and will serve French cuisine.
Disney's Vice President of Food and Beverage Maribeth Bisienere says it's all about the dining experience.
