It seems that there will be a magical transformation to occur at the upcoming Beauty and the Beast Inspired Restaurant that is apart of the Fantasyland Expansion.
Not unlike its magical transformation of a frog into a princess or a beast into a prince, the Disney wizards plan to conduct a daily metamorphosis of its planned 552-seat Be Our Guest restaurant from a casual, quick-service lunch spot into an elegant, full-service dinner experience. The multi-purpose establishment will be themed to the film, Beauty and the Beast, and will be located in the Beast’s Castle, part of the Fantasyland expansion at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The new Fantasyland attractions are scheduled to open in 2012 and 2013.
Disney will test the quick-change, dual-purpose restaurant concept with the expanded Cantina de San Angel, now under construction at the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot.
We are looking forward to both restaurants. If you have been visiting the site for any length of time you will know that San Angel Inn is one of my favorite restaurants. I would love to be there for the grand opening but I will just have to settle for pictures and video as we get ever closer to that date.

I'll be down there for the Wine and Dine marathon. I'm hoping to get a reservaton for the Italian place (even though it means no Le Cellier, which I've never been to), so I'll let you know. I might try out the Mexican place in December if the reviews are good. Hey, you could just join us in October–a bunch of us are going.
I think it sounds really interesting. It also sounds difficult to pull off, but I'm bettting they can do it.
Have you heard a date for the opening of the Mexican place? I keep hearing Fall for the Italian but nothing specific. It's likely before Food & Wine, I would think.
I'd imagine it will be before the food and wine festival..I wish I could be there for it!
