This TikToker put the service to the test at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort… and it failed.

Katie Johnson (@livefromathens) shared the following footage from her family’s $180 lunch at the table service restaurant, which she described as her “only regret” during their Walt Disney World Resort vacation:

“1/10 Experience at Beauty & the Beast castle,” Johnson wrote. “The service was so slow my kids got way to [sic.] antsy… I wish I went to any other character breakfast because the Beast never interacted with the table.”

We wasted so much time and money,” she concluded.

It’s important to note that Be Our Guest Restaurant is not categorized as a Character Dining experience. While Guests may see the Beast as he walks through the castle, he does not stop at each table for photos and autographs.
