The next area of the New Fantasyland expansion that just opened in December in Walt Disney World Resort is the rest of The Enchanted Forest (Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid and Ariel’s Grotto are also located in The Enchanted Forest).
Be Our Guest Restaurant is the most sought after dinner reservation right now, even with a quick service option for lunch. We have reported quite a bit already on this area:

Be Our Guest Restaurant is a BEAUTIFUL attraction in itself. We recommend you at least stop by for a cupcake or some French Onion or Potato Leek Soup. If you are using a Disney Dining Plan- these will cost you a snack credit- FANTASTIC deal! Dinner is a bit more fancy- and will cost you a table service credit. Take a look some of what we saw when we were there at the Grand Opening in December:
Moving on to Gaston’s Tavern- you are TOTALLY immersed, again, into the story. This is another great place to spend those snack credits on Warm Cinnamon Rolls and Chocolate Croissants. Most stop in for LeFou’s Brew (basically frozen apple cider topped with a thick, whipped foam of mango and passion fruit) and even a Lamb Shank!
Here is also where you will meet Gaston- who interacts with guests as only he can. Don’t miss a chance to meet him!
