Hi Astra! Welcome to planDisney! It's great to have you stop by!
One of the most magical parts of a Walt Disney World vacation is seeing all of your favorite Disney characters around the parks. Sometimes this is in the form of a meet and greet, other times you may catch them roaming around the parks and resorts. You can also make Advanced Dining Reservations for character dining meals and have a chance to meet some this way.
While Be Our Guest is not a traditional character dining experience, the Beast does make an appearance during your meal. There is no need to worry about which dining room you are seated in, as he will make his way around to each one. I've also been told by many Guests that he was seen on multiple occasions throughout their meal, so hopefully there will be no shortage of time with him. While he does not stop at each table, you can still snap some pictures or videos as he is walking by. I've seen many selfies of the Beast in the background of Guests who had their cameras ready to go!
If you're looking for other ways to see some of your favorites from Beauty and the Beast, the Festival of Fantasy Parade is a great way to. Belle and the Beast are featured on the first float that comes by at the Magic Kingdom. It's a great chance to wave and say hello as they pass.
Astra, I hope you have a magical vacation later this year! The holidays are one of my favorite times to visit! With festive decorations and holiday entertainment, there is always something fun happening.
Happy planning!
Greg
