The card will provide a window with a time for your party to return to Be Our Guest. Once the cards are all passed out for the day, signs are set out that no more guests can dine at lunch for the day.And the super awesome news? It means that lines like THIS will hopefully be a thing of the past!Line to get in to Be Our Guest Restaurant for LunchAfter all, who wants to spend half their day in Magic Kingdom waiting in a line for lunch??We were on hand this morning to get all of the details. The Cast Member explained the process to us in terms of “it works like a FastPass”. So be sure that you return during the window of time printed on your ticket. Note that the window is only 15 minutes! If you plan to use the Standby Policy, you’ll want to plan accordingly.It’s also important to note that each member of your party must have a ticket, or they will not be admitted.And since you’re coordinating paper tickets with FastPass+ reservations for attractions, the Cast Members confirm that the time will work for your party before giving you the tickets. In other words, there may be a little wiggle room in choice of time if you get there early enough.Braised Pork, Coq au Vin Style — For Lunch!So, who will this cool new policy benefit the most? Well, since FastPass+ reservations are only available to guests who are staying in Walt Disney World hotels, the standby tickets will be especially helpful for non-resort guests. However, anyone can obtain the tickets on a first come, first served basis.Dinner continues to be a table service offering, so be sure to snag an Advance Dining Reservation if you’d like to eat at Be Our Guest in the evening.As usual, this policy is subject to change. But hooray! We are so happy to see Disney taking steps to eliminate the line craziness for a restaurant that hasn’t slowed down since the day it opened!Are you excited to see this new Lunch Standby Policy at Be Our Guest Restaurant?
