One of the highlights of the new area is the Beast's Castle, based on "Beauty and The Beast." The castle sits on top of the new Be Our Guest Restaurant which will feature a ballroom, gallery and mysterious west-wing, according to the Disney Parks Blog. 


Surrounding the castle will be Gaston's Tavern, Village Gifts and the cottage of Belle's father, Maurice. The Disney Parks Blog also has a look at the behind the scenes construction of the castle.
