We love to bring you inside the homes of the rich and famous here on www.houseandhome.ie but this one is ever so slightly different because it's the home of a Disney character. Yep, Disney have invited you be their guest and enter the Beast's famous castle from the classic movie Beauty and The Beast. The castle is currently under construction in Disneyworld Florida and is expected to open later this year. When completed the new attraction will boast a Be Our Guest Restaurant located in the ballroom that we all remember and dreamed of in our childhood. Here's a sneak peek.

The Be Our Guest Restaurant will have a seating capacity of 550 people providing counter service during the day and a sit-down dining experience in the evening. The restaurant will feature medieval windows which reach the ceiling and murals will depict the Enchanted Rose and characters from the film, including Belle, the Beast, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumière, and Cogsworth. If you're planning on making a trip to the magic kingdom though you may want to book ahead as it's expected that it will take 180 days in advance to secure a reservation, and it's not even opened yet. Also located within the castle are the forbidden West Wing and the colossal library. Also part of the Fantasyland Castle expansion will be Gaston's Tavern and the Bonjour Village Gift Shop.
We personally cannot wait to see the finished product. Beast's castle is an interiors dream, even if it is a cartoon, so to see it come to life will bring out the child within us all.
If you can't make it to Florida why not check out Beauty and The Beast in glorious 3D in Cinemas now.
