Disney Dining Review: Cinderella’s Royal Table


Where can I meet princesses and which ones?

Princesses are everywhere at Disney World! That is, if you know where to find them. For a little help read this article about going to Disney World with a Preschool Princess! Oh, and don’t forget: princesses are for everyone! Some kids want to be them and some kids want to marry them! 


So, which princesses will you meet? Cinderella of course! She is the main attraction and you will get a photo opportunity with her while you wait for your table! In addition, other princesses will come to your dining table while you eat! Which ones? That depends on scheduling and availability. When we went last, we saw Aurora (Sleeping Beauty, pictured above), Snow White, Jasmine, and Ariel! It was quite a treat for the whole family! What happens if you miss one? Let your server or another Cast Member know and they will send the Princess to see your party soon!

Atmosphere 

I mean, it’s Cinderella’s Castle! There truly isn’t a more magical or beautiful place at Disney World! Every detail has been covered! Even a few of her mice friends are around if you look hard! Hint: look while you’re waiting for time with Cinderella and remember they’re not afraid of heights! Oh, and I almost forgot! Cinderella has a wishing star as well as a wand or sword for each prince or princess!

What about the food?

I won’t go into specifics as the menu changes fairly often. However, I will say that the steak was delicious
! For your fixed price (prepaid at the time you make your reservation), you will have an appetizer, main course, desert, nonalcoholic beverage, gratuity, and special time and photo ops with each Princess attending that meal!


What about the kid choices? No worries! Kid friendly food is offered! Your princess or adventurer will be able to find something they’ll enjoy! However, if you have an exceptionally picky eater you may want to check the menu before making a reservation.

Overall Impressions 

Dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table is a treat for the whole family! If the price is off putting to you , keep in mind it is a 3 course meal that includes gratuity AND you are also paying the cast wages for the performers (aka princesses) to be there for your family. That’s one less Lightning Lane that you need to purchase! Still not sure? Consider getting the Disney Dining Plan! With it, you pay ahead for your meals, which simplifies budgeting! Then, you can use 2 dining credits per person to make a reservation for this location! Simple, easy, and then you don’t have to think about cost while enjoying your meals!

What is Pixie Dust?

  First Time Magic   When I was Young…and so was Disney World  My first visit to Disney World was in 1971. I was not excited to be going to Disney. Why? I did not know that Disney existed, much less that I was going there. 1971 was the year that Walt Disney World opened in Florida and I was 5 years old! Whether my Dad kept it a secret so that it would be the ultimate surprise is unclear to me. What I am sure of is that he took us to the most magical place on earth. Operations were very different than they are now, but the one thing that remains the same is that it is still the most magical place on earth.  What is Pixie Dust and how can I Make it Happen on my Trip? Pixie Dust is a magical, unexpected thing that can happen while you are at Disney, but you cannot make it happen. I have heard people recently complain that the magic is gone since the pandemic started. It’s not true. I am sad for these people because they are missing the point. There are two types of...

Signature Dining at The Walt Disney World Resort

One of my favorite things I have a confession. While it is true that I love all things Disney , the attractions, the parades, the fireworks, the characters, the thing I love most at Disney is the dining! Whether I am on a Disney Cruise or visiting the Theme Parks, the dining is my favorite thing! You may not be aware of this, but Disney offers several different types of dining experiences: Table Service, Quick Service, Character Dining , and the coveted Signature Dining!  Why is it called Signature Dining? Disney's Signature Dining locations are named as such because they are each a one of a kind, dining experience. Walt Disney talked about taking an experience and "plus-ing" it. In other words, taking something great and then taking it up another notch. That is exactly what the Signature Dining experience is! What do I need to know? Each of these unique locations is available by reservation and they tend to fill up very quickly! Reservations can be made 60 days bef...

Disney Value Resorts: Which one is Best?

 Why are they called Value Resorts?  Pop Century The Disney Value Resorts are called that because they are the least expensive resorts that Disney has to offer. In other words, staying at one of these will stretch that Disney Budget farther. Currently, there are 5 Values: Pop Century , The Art of Animation , All Star Music , All Star Movie s, and All Star Sports .   What amenities and entertainment can I expect at a Value Resort? All of these resorts will have a counter service restaurant, a pool bar, a gift shop, a themed pool near the main building, guest laundry, Movies Under the Stars, and special resort activities at the main pool. In the rooms, you can expect beds for 4 people (2 to a bed) or if you book a suite it will sleep up to 6 people. In the standard rooms and suites you will have a coffee pot with coffee service provided and a cooler/fridge perfect for keeping drinks cold, but not much else. The suites also have a microwave as well as a small supply of p...

Some of My Favorite Things: Hollywood Studios Edition

  Hollywood Studios: What can I expect? Hollywood Studios, like Epcot , is not like the MagicKingdom . It is not like Epcot either. So what is it? Originally, Hollywood Studios was a small theme park named MGM Studios. The theming of the park was a day on a Backlot in Hollywood. Everything that was originally there had to do with the making of movies. Though it was my favorite park, it had a problem. It earned the reputation of a half-day park. Through the years, it has changed significantly. Today’s version of Hollywood Studios is definitely a full day park. It still has a movie theme, but the newer attractions are more of immersion into those movies than experiencing a day on a Backlot in Hollywood. Is it still my favorite? Absolutely! Maximizing Your  Let’s get right down to it! You could spend your whole day and only experience a few things if you’re not careful. Pixie Dust Tip: If you only buy Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes one day of your trip, I would con...

It is true that you might find one that is cheaper, though I would double check that that is true because you can sometimes get some super good deals at Disney.  Probably one of the biggest reasons to pick a WDW Resort is the discounts.
