The room itself looks amazing, exactly like the movie for the most part, and I cant wait to eat there! But, all the tables there look super crowded and weird...Maybe because in the movie there arent any tables there and its so open. We'll see how I feel when I get there !!

I'm kinda feeling the same as those who are seeing a dressy cafeteria area from these pics. But pics can be very limiting, so I won't write the whole place off entirely. This one room, tho, which is a representation of a ball room definitely feels flat, boxy, and lack-luster. I'm not feeling ballroom at all. It's like a standard rectangle with mood lighting. Not entirely grand. Are there other rooms and spaces that haven't been seen yet? I ask because when thinking about inside Cindy's a lot of the ambiance comes from the scattering of tables in different levels and defined areas. The ceilings are very high. The details draw the eye all the way up. It's not lighting tricks. It's what is there. This one dining room we're seeing at BoG falls flat. Literally. It's flat. It's a rectangle packed with tables. Nothing feels grand or amazing.

It looks nothing like that, there is no grand ceiling or windows surrounding the room plus the ballroom was an oval shaped room not a rectangle (not to mention the scale is way off). I know I'm being picky but they had one chance at this and they pretty much blew it.

Let's look at them side by side. Yes they are not identical, but I can't see how you can say they look nothing alike.

if this is the quick service area, the full service may still be something else. I will wait until I see it. I have no problems with the appearance, I agree the tables seem very crammed, which is why I assume this is the quick side.
Full service should look a bit better.
My main problem with all of this is the fact that in this day and age and all the money Disney shelled out, I wanted something new and different. Throwing a animatronic in the front, or a nice dinner show (chandelier with dancing fork, spoons, etc, like the movie),would have made me feel a little better about paying the prices Disney keeps trying to gouge us with.

I confess I haven't watched beauty and the beast in about two months, but in person when I walked in it felt like I had been dropped right in the scene from the movie. The room might not be exact when comparing frame to photo (I don't know of a theme park attraction that is) but it captures the feeling perfectly. It feels entirely grand and matched my memory of what the scene looked like exactly (minus the tables of course). This is by far the most impressive interior in the magic Kingdom I can think of. Only the new mermaid queue and the the pirates queue come close.

People have to remember, the movie still is a drawing, which is extremely stylized, perspective-wise. to get that kind of angle, the cameraman would be laying on the floor with a fisheye lens. They got the detail dead on on this one, although I do hope they put some table clothes on those tables!

I dunno. The American Adventure has a rotunda, large & grand. I could list a number of places where the detail was grand. I think the choice to go so low & flat with the ceiling trying to utilize lighting and a small-scale attempt at forced perspective leaves the room underwhelming. If you're going to try to recreate a space that crazy big, amazing, and recognized it's a situation where you have 2 choices: do it or don't. These pics don't show me that Disney did it. Looks like they tried, sorta.

I believe this dinning room will be used for both quick service and full service dining. If I remember right the other two dining rooms will be full service only.

This is the main dining room, which will be quick service at lunch, and full table service at dinner. The other two smaller dining rooms will be for dinner only.

I do wish there was a photo of it without all of the tables/chairs, so it still looked like the ballroom. I think we'd get a much more accurate comparison of it.

I find it really difficult to complain, it looks super high quality

Look at the two pictures above that are side by side. Yes, so there is not windows wrapping all the way around, there are 3 light fixtures instead of one HUGE one, which probably did not work in real life... It is a picture as well, it might look different in person..Animation can practically doing anything it wants, there is not limit. Real life, there is.

I have to say that I don't see Beast's Castle in here :S
The lobby is a bit out of theme... the ballroom is good but looks very busy of chairs and tables :(

seriously, Kids will have no idea on the diffrences between the two. KIDS will not be nitpicking every little thing in the park and say "this doesnt look like the film" KIDS will love this whole area, resturaunt, Brew, Mermaid, Enchanted Tales. they will not Be Negative like half the members of this forum, who obvisouly just want to about something. "Boo Hoo" it doesnt look the same" "Boo hoo, Ursulas Death isnt Featured" yeah cause thats what we want to do in these rides, give kids a giant Death Scene to remember it by. You guys are Morbid. KIDS will not care about a Mermaid on front of a Shipwreck.

and guess who the primary audience is in FANTASYLAND


KIDS!!!
