We test whether Be star disks rotate in a Keplerian or an Angular Momentum Conserving fashion. This is done by employing sub-milli arcsecond spectroastrometry around Hα. We spatially resolve the disks, and are the first to do so at such a high spectral resolution. We fit the emission line profiles with parametric models. The Keplerian models reproduce the spectro-astrometry, whereas the AMC models do not, thereby supporting the viscous disk model for Be stars.
