I always preferred the staggered arrival of the dwarves at the beginning when they first meet Bilbo. I loved his growing concern and sense of being put out as more and more unexpected guests arrive and begin ordering food as if his hobbit hole were an inn. The scene has always played so well in my head that I would like to see it on screen. Using the staggered arrival trick with Beorn didn't seem nearly as appealing (well, for me at least). I want to see how they will deal with Beorn's animals though. I'm guessing this is one of the things that may be cut as being too cute.
