Cinderella’s Royal Table

The lucky table for two.
We were at Disney World celebrating my girlfriends birthday. Shockingly, we didn’t even know about this place. We approached the host stand (as a walk in) and said table for 2 and the man told us «Sorry we’re fully booked». She was upset and we walked away thinking maybe next time. Within a few seconds, the host ran after us and said «a table for two just cancelled would you like to dine with us?» At first I hesitated, then looked at her huge smile and said lets do it. Little did I know, it would be one of the best decisions of my life.
Ambiance: From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. From photos with Cinderella to exploring the beautiful architecture, believe me– they left no stone unturned. You were truly transported back in time to Cinderella’s home — with all of the Disney princesses as guests.
Food: We were there for breakfast and the food was phenomenal. The sweet breads, cinnamon rolls, and jams kept flowing. The menu was phenomenal but the crab & lobster crêpe caught my eye. All i need to say is — I would easily spend $ 150 for breakfast all over again.
Overall: Whether you’re going as a family or a couple, this dining experience is a must do. It is well worth the money and fully completes the Magic Kingdom experience.

To be honest I wasn’t expecting much from the food and knew this place would be more about the experience. However, my appetiser of Pork Belly Confit and entrée of Pan Seared Chicken were both amazing! Much more tasty with complex levels of flavours I wasn’t expecting to get at Disney — most things I’ve had have been pretty bland so far. That being said, the dessert was just so-​so and if only they had stepped them up it would have been a 5 star meal for sure.
You get pictures with Cinderella before your meal and then visits from Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, and Jasmine. Overall it’s a bit of an expensive experience but a thoroughly enjoyable one!

I am writing this from an adult point of view…
We had breakfast here with our two daughters, ages 14 & 19. Yes… they were a little old for this, but we never did this when they were younger, so stop judging… :) We were, in fact, not the only «all adults» party eating here. So rest assured, while it is definitely more common for the little ones, it’s still a place big kids can also enjoy.
We met Cinderella right away, so that was fun. Entering the dining room — which was smaller and more intimate than I expected — was truly (sorry for the cliché) MAGICAL. To be eating a meal INSIDE Cinderella’s Castle — THE Disney World icon — is a unique and mind-​blowing experience.
I received a complimentary plastic sword, and my wife and daughters received fairy wands. I’m glad they don’t reserve these items JUST for the little kids. It’s a nice souvenir and memento from the experience. All the princesses came around for photo ops, and — although they are teenagers — it was fun for my kids.
The food… not that great. Cold, bland, a feeble attempt at trying to be something it’s not. And that’s the trouble with it: the menu descriptions build up the breakfast entrees as something truly haute cuisine, and they’re not even close. I would have preferred some scrambled eggs and a few slices of bacon. The food quality knocked a star off my review. The coffee was good though.
I’m not the first to negatively review the food here, but keep in mind… You don’t do the Cinderella Castle breakfast for the food; you go for the full experience: meeting Cinderella, dining inside the castle, photo ops with the Disney princesses. It was a truly memorable experience.

Fabulous experience!
We were ushered in at our reservation time and the kiddos got to meet Cinderella right away. When we got to our table the waiter brought over a wand for my daughter and a sword for my son. Then we got a wonderful appetizer board with salad, cheeses, crackers and honey. The kiddos got fruit and cheese cups. It was excellent as I was starving. I ordered the chicken and polenta — so good. My hubby got the steak salad and said it was fabulous — must have been, he didn’t share. My son got the turkey pot pie which was scrumptious and my daughter got the chicken fingers.
We all got dessert — I got lemon sorbet — so satisfying on a hot day. My hubby got the no flour chocolate cake which he faced about. My kiddos got the smores dessert which was good but a little messy.
All the princesses came over while we were eating and spent time talking, singing autographs and taking pictures. Be sure to bring your camera! We saw Jasmine, Ariel, Aurora and Snow White.
We would return to this experience again — a must do!

I am not a Disney person, only I went there for my daughter birthday. What an amazing food, amazing experience and cannot believe the service they gave. All princesses will come to your table and greet you and talk to kids and we watched fireworks at night through window which is outstanding!

We had lunch here on out recent trip to Disney, and the food was surprisingly fabulous. On top of the great food, the experience was spectacular. We took my then four year old daughter and my six month old, and it was a blast.
Walking into the «castle», you are met by some castle workers, who are friendly and direct you to where you need to go. My daughter got to meet and hug Cinderella, who was sitting by a fire in her beautiful gown. She took her time with her and was very sweet, posing for photos and giving hugs.
From there, we went upstairs in the castle elevator and were met by more friendly castle staff. We were seated promptly in a very royal-​looking table. My kids were presented with some cute souvenirs including buttons and magic wands.
We were presented with menus, which were fairly limited, and placed our orders. We were served quickly. The presentation of the food was immaculate and the service was absolutely impeccable.
At various intervals throughout our meal, different classic princesses came by to meet and greet us. We took pictures, kids got hugs (and baby even got kisses from Snow White!) and our day was made. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that can get in. I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was around $ 65 per head for adults and $ 40ish per head for kids. All I can say is that it was well worth it. Not only would I do it all over again, but I will do it all over again when my other daughter is 4 – 5 so that she has the opportunity to enjoy it, too. It was well worth the cost, and I would even consider it a good value. It saves you time with little ones because you get to to several meet and greets at lunch. This was one of the best experiences I have ever had at Disney. You really are treated like royalty.
If you ask for info about the food, they will often give you the brand or recipe of what you are asking for.
We were lucky enough to be able to walk in immediately on a very busy day, which I hear almost never happens. If you can get reservations, do it! Your kids will thank you… And so will your stomach!

Was here with family and, most importantly a six-​year old niece, for a lunch reservation. After a 10 minute wait in the lobby area, with an opportunity for the niece to get a photo op with Cinderella, we were seated in the upstairs rotunda area.
Before getting to the food, our server Denise has to receive huge praise for her sunny personality and great demeanor. Moreso than any of the princesses that visited our table (and the niece remains more than a bit miffed that her favorite princess, Belle, wasn’t there), Denise made our lunch memorable. She kept our coffee and juice cups filled, our pastry basket overflowing, hooked us up with a CRT sword and an extra plate of prawns and grits, and even shared stories about the history of the Cinderella castle. She was an all-​star.
Now to the food… not totally unexpected for a character restaurant but it’s a bit underwhelming and clearly not the showcase. You make reservations at restaurants like this at WDW for the experience — in particular some personal time for kids to meet and interact with the princesses and for the parents to take photos to embarass them when they’re older and angstier.
The food is quite good. A never ending basket of pastries, from a cornbread-​y Mickey to cinnamon rolls, no surprise that these were very sweet and their smaller than usual size worked for both the kids and for the adults for pairing with our coffees. Our table also had several orders of both the tenderloin with eggs and potatoes — the potatoes and eggs cooked together into a little round platform that is dressed in a cream gravy and topped with perfectly medium rare slices of tenderloin — and the prawns and grits — the grits cooked into a square patty, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep fried. Both dishes were delicious but the flat per guest price is still solidly on the high side.
I would also add that I was underwhelmed by the princess experience. Maybe it was because we dined near the end of the mealtime, but the princesses seemed to me like they were phoning it in. I suppose as long as the niece had a great time, nothing else matters, but the interactions honestly came off as though the cast members were just going through the motions.
The experience overall was a positive one. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending it again in the future for a family with kids and adults who are totally into Disney princesses. Just remember to ask for Denise!

I had some reservations about this place. My family planned out their visit to this Magic Kingdom character dining 180 days in advance. And yes, you do need to book it exactly 180 days in advance to get a table. High demand and small dining area leads to no walk ins.
You have to pre pay for your meals in advance, which is kind of ridiculous but also allows you to order whatever you want and not feel guilty about getting something that would typically be more expensive.
First, the dining area and experience was GORGEOUS. Disney details everywhere and being high up in Cinderella’s castle gives a great view if you’re near a window, which we were. Before going to the dining area, you get to have a meet and greet with Cinderella, something my niece loved. Throughout the dinner, Snow White, Aurora, Jasmine, and Ariel came out and met us at our table. It felt less hectic than other Disney Character Dining, which I attribute to the small dining area.
Our food was amazing and we definitely had zero complaints. My mom and I had the Beef Tenderloin with Egg, which was kind of like a cheesy quiche with potatoes topped with delicious beef tenderloin. The rest of my family got the typical American breakfast. My two nieces, under 3 years old each, didn’t get food, but there were pastries (THE PECAN WAS THE MOST AMAZING PASTRY IVE HAD) on the table. Everyone loved their food, and it definitely exceeded all of our expectations.
Obviously, this is an extremely high demand restaurant but if you are willing to pay for it, I believe it helps save time with character meet and greets and the food was great.

Oh my goodness, the castle is as gorgeous as you could imagine it to be! Not only did I get to spend my golden birthday in Magic Kingdom but I got to spend the morning eating in Cinderella’s Castle and that was already enough to make me happy!
Overall, the experience was amazing! We started off with meeting and taking a picture with Cinderella on our way to our table. While we were dining, Ariel, Jasmine, and Snow White also made appearances at each table. All the princesses were so nice and fun to talk to!
The staff were very friendly and attentive. The service was quick and efficient. There was a bit of a mix up though, they brought out the wrong food but they were quick to fix that!
We were brought drinks and breakfast pastries first and they were so good, I could have just filled up on those alone. Everyone at my table ordered the Beef Tenderloin and Egg. I liked the beef tenderloin. The egg was good but it wasn’t as fluffy as I had wished it would have been.
And because it was my birthday, the staff brought out a cupcake and sang happy birthday to me (and other birthday girls/​boys)!
I’m not sure if the food was worth the money but the experience definitely was. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and I definitely felt like a princess on my birthday :)

This is a wonderful family experience and overall, good dining experience.
Be prepared to order all three dishes (appetizer, main course, and dessert) as soon as you sit down. They do this in case the princesses are visiting your table later in the evening. The meals are pretty good. Between the three of us we ordered the scallops and spring salad as appetizers. Both were tasty. Scallop dish was very small. For the main course, two of us ordered the steak and potatoes and the third dish was the chicken and polenta. I really enjoyed the chicken and polenta dish. The polenta was very creamy because of the goat cheese, very nice with the chicken. The steak, on the other hand, was pretty salty. We weren’t sure if it was the steak or the gravy that was salty, but it’s worth saving the bread rolls you’re given at the beginning of the meal to cut the salt. For dessert we ordered the the clock strikes twelve, which is a flourless chocolate cake, and the strawberry cheesecake. The chocolate cake was extremely dry, but the fruit on the top was good.
Really, the dinner is about the experience. The princesses are delightful and it’s a joy to watch everyone get excited to interact with them. Plus, you may even have the pleasure of getting seated right by the window (like us) and enjoy a beautiful view of the park. Amazing way to experience the magic of Disney World!

I’m giving this 5 stars for the following reasons.
1. I didn’t come for the food since Disney is not known for foods, but the food they serve here is actually good!
2. Great place for your kids to hang out.
3. Friendly princess :)
4. Friendly staff!
Remember. You are coming here for the experience… NOT THE FOOD!

This is a family experience you are paying for here. Dont expect a delicious 3 course meal, its not. Its ok food in a Ok location. I mean it was everything to my 3yr old and seeing her expression snd and reactions was worth it all.
You save yourself time and effort because you will get to take pics with atleast 5 princess. Your saving yourself 5 hrs of standing on lines for this. You still get a 3 course meal which includes an appetizer, main course and desserts.
I expected cinderalla’s castle to be amazing but it was meh nothing to write home about.
I guess its not meant for us its really catered to kids but it was fun to see my daughter be amazed so it was worth the $$$

I write this review a bit conflicted. Was it special for a mother daughter trip? Absolutely. Was the food good? Yes, but very tiny. I’m way over tiny, cute, plated with tweezers food. I say that being a chef by trade. Now that being said, the castle is fun, you get pictures with princesses, and a great view of the fireworks.
If you want to go, make a reservation months in advance or you will not get in. They only have 43 tables and set service times. A woman was at the desk offering earrings and begging to get in. I wanted to give her my earrings to stop the madness.
You may want to consider for a more adult experience to go to «Be Our Guest» with Belle. The experience will only cost you one meal swipe as opposed to two at Cinderella, and they serve alcohol. You will need a drink after nearly being mortally wounded by scooters and strollers all day at Disney.

TIP: Must make a reservation for a chance to eat here. It gets booked up fast.
For the price you pay, this place is quite expensive for the food. The food was good but not worth the price for it. It’s a little confusing since it was my first time coming here. I made a reservation for this place for 2 adults and 1 child and they put about a $ 200 hold on the credit card.
There’s no price listed on the menu so I wasn’t sure what I exact amount I was paying other than $$$$. What I also didn’t know was that it was a pre fixe menu.
As you walk in you will get a photo opportunity with Cinderella and while you’re dining, there will be 4 other princesses. Each girl will receive a wand and each boy will receive a sword.
For the appetizers we ordered
Adults: seared scallops and cheese plate. Both were great and the waiter even gave me more toasted bread for the cheese.
Child: Cheese with grapes
For our entrees
Adults: surf and turf: The shrimp and steak was a little overcooked
braised pork over mashed potatoes: this was quite delicious although the sauce was a little on the saltier side
Child: Turkey pot pie with brocollini: Quite large portion for a child but also quite delicious
Dessert:
flourless chocolate cupcake: a little on the dry side
Gus and Jacs: jasmine infused pudding. It was really good has a strong jasmine taste.
Overall, it was a great experience and food is good. It cost $ 80 per adult and $ 30 – 40 per child for dinner. It was just a on the pricier side for Disney dining.

The food is not why you come here, it’s nothing special. The view was quite special. I probably will not be back unless we have a daughter in the future. It takes two Disney credits when you’re on the dining plan (same as yachtsman steakhouse)

I don’t think we can come to Disney without visiting Cinderella’s Royal Table. It is just amazing and so fun for the kids as well as the adults. It is also nice to eat a very good meal at a nice slow pace with princesses all around you. When you check in with the hostess they take your party inside to have your picture taken with Cinderella, then you wait until your party is royally called and you head upstairs. They seat you and the fun starts, the girls are given wishing stars and wands and I think the boys get swords.
The detail of the restaurant is amazing and overlooks the carousel and the back of the Magic Kingdom. The stained glass windows of the prince and princesses are equally amazing to look at. It really feels like you are in the storybook with the princesses.
You have a choice of appetizer, main entrée, and dessert from the menu. Kids get the same unless they get a Mickey meal. I started with the cheese plate and it was very good. The fig and jam to accompany the cheese and toasted bread was excellent. Husband got the scallops with wine risotto and enjoyed them as well.
For our main course I had the steak and shrimp and ate every bite. The steak was cooked to medium rare perfection. Husband had the pork and it was also wonderful and cooked perfectly. One daughter had the roast chicken with polenta and it was also great. After eating at the hotel restaurant and character buffets this was like dining at Del Frisco’s even though it isn’t but it is a welcome break. The kid’s meal chicken nuggets were a disappointment. You would think they would have a little better food for kids at this restaurant.
The castle has desserts down and it really doesn’t matter what you get you will love it. We all ate each other’s. In this case the kids menu had the best dessert being the s’mores one.
The princesses make their rounds and the bell is wrung to announce their entrances. At the end they do a wishing ceremony before the princesses leave. The only bad part is you can’t hear the announcer and what he was saying. Both times we have come the princesses were the same; Snow White, Jasmine, Ariel, and Rapunzel. It doesn’t matter though because they are so sweet with the kids and take the time to talk to them for a few minutes.
It takes two dining plan credits for this, but I do think it is worth it. Just know they add the gratuity ahead of time as well. My only complaint is that at the end of the meal you used to be presented with the picture you took downstairs with Cinderella. I inquired about where the picture was and they said they don’t do that anymore. I was super bummed because I didn’t have them take a picture with my camera because I thought they would give us one. Plus the meal cost sure wasn’t any less for not getting the picture.

If you feel like cashing out at Disneyworld while you already have for the ticket itself… Then dine in royalty. The spot was like $ 140 for 2 people for lunch time… And reservation in way advance is highly recommended as it seems to be a popular location despite the heavy price tag. It was something my lady dreamed of in countless nights to dine in the castle so she made it happened.
Let me walk you through this experience from my perspective. Is it a to die for place to dine in? Maybe if you were younger female who is in love with Disney and princesses. Walked in on time for a 2:10pm reservation and was immediately escorted into the castle. First stop in the lobby was pictures with cinderella herself and then after was called to walk up those castle stairs (elevator available for the disabled). Half way up the stairs there was the restroom decorated as castle gates labeled «lords» and «ladies». The castle interior was decorated well to fit the castle description. As we were seated we were given a plastic wishing star badge, plastic wand for the female and a plastic sword for myself. Initially we confused if the entrance price included the food itself? But I can confirm that all attendees that reserved in advance has all the food, drinks and gratitude of 18% included in that price and charged on the credit card already. The waitresses addresses the diners in terms such as duke, duchess to make the experience more realistically in a castle. All waitresses were of great help and consistent in checking up on us.
The food… My lady chose the salmon with corn cake, I chose the short ribs with mashed potato as entrée. Both were delicious and tender but came in small portions. Appetizer that came was a sampler of hummus, crackers, cheese and salad that was pretty good. Dessert. We chose the brownie and lemon sorbet mouse came which were both super sweet. Unlimited refills on fountain drinks and soda for all attendees.
The princesses… Which was Probably the main attraction to the castle was cool. Snow White, sleeping beauty and princess jasmine all came around the different tables to take pictures with everyone and used lines and tone just like in the Disney cartoons. They did a great job in playing their role.
To wrap it up… Will I come here again to eat? Probably not on my free will… But even the special lady wants to… Then I’d suggest trying out the dinner setting which I believe is like $ 180 for 2. Hopefully with better food and more variety. Overall a great experience… but an expensive one. Appreciate the experience babe, because I know you’re probably going to be reading this review!

Eating here was a dream come true… literally. An expensive dream come true though. We paid $ 140 ($ 70/​person) for a prix fixe menu. It was cheaper for breakfast I think and more expensive for dinner, but that’s a given. We went for lunch. At first, we thought that price was just the initial fee for being in the castle because I know to tour the castle at Disneyland, it’s about $ 80/​person, not sure. something like that. We didn’t know the price included food, but luckily it did. Well that saved us some money. The price already included a 18% gratuity fee as stated at the bottom of the menu.
It is recommended that you make reservations months ahead because they get booked up, I’m not even kidding. I’ve BEEN wanting to eat here, but was never able to get a reservation til this trip, yay. All the princesses gotta eat here, including me, myself, and I. And so I did with my prince charming.
Came for our 2:15pm reservation and then started my whole princess experience with a photo with Cinderella herself. Move out the way, the real princess is here (me)…just kidding! We then walked up the castle stairs. There was an elevator available for those who might have difficulty walking up the stairs. It was a quick hike to get to the dining room. We passed by the restrooms which were labeled as ‘Lords’ and ‘Ladies’ to differentiate the women’s from the men’s. Loved that they got the whole princess theme going on, even in the bathroom!
We were seated right next to window. I always love a window view, even though there wasn’t anything to see out the window, lol! We were given a wishing star souvenir, a plastic wand for myself, and a plastic sword for my prince charming. Weapons fit for a princess and a prince I suppose. The waitresses addressed us as «duke» and «lady». Royal af or what. Pretty cool how they made you feel like you were royalty. I mean it’s part of the whole experience, right?
We started off with the appetizer, which was the chef’s tasting plate. It had bread, hummus, salad, and cheese. It was yummy. As for our entrees, I got the fish of the day, which was salmon. It sat on top of some sort of corn bread type cake and was really good. My boyfriend got the braised short rib (which was their most popular). It came with mashed potatoes. Both our entrees were really good. Drinks were unlimited. For dessert, I chose to get the their signature dessert which was a flourless chocolate cake which tasted like brownies and had strawberries on it. I liked it. He got a white chocolate-​jasmine tea mousse with lemon and lime curd which was topped with honey. I didn’t like this at all. It kinda looked like a stick of butter.
During our lunch, we were able to take pictures with the princesses. Princess Jasmine, Snow White, and Aurora made special appearances at every table. I wish they had a photographer walking around with them so we didn’t have to bug the people next to us to take pictures for us. It was really cool how they stayed in their roles!
Yay for a wonderful experience! :)

This was our first time here and we were celebrating my daughter’s 4^th birthday. As a concept, I believe this has been the best Disney’s character meal we have had so far. Besides the hostess that received us that was kind of rude, the whole staff was great and really make you believe you are in a real castle. Our waiter was excellent and really made us feel like royalty. If you have small daughters, this is the place to come. My daughter could not believe her eyes every time a different princess would stop at our table and interact with her and then take a picture. It was truly magical.
The food, well, it was maybe the best meal we had during this trip to Disney, it was good, but nothing extraordinary. To start, we all received a dish to share with a green salad, some cheddar cheese, hummus and pita bread, it was very good. I had the pork tenderloin and I believe that was the best option in the menu after trying other dishes. Dessert was alright, but still not sure what it was. It was a sort of flan/​mousse type of thing. Overall, the food was good, but the experience was excellent.

Cinderella’s Royal Table felt like Cinderella’s Royal Dungeon. How this place has 4 stars is beyond me. How this place also costs ~$ 75 pp is ridiculous. Don’t be fooled by the 6 months wait, as this place is only the size of a 2 bedroom apartment (not even kidding!)
My boyfriend wanted to surprise me with a nice dinner, so we used Unilocal to take us here. We made reservations earlier in the day with no issue. To start, we went late, around 10:50 pm and were seated almost immediately. We knew that we were arriving later, so we were being lenient on service expectations. However, it took us a while to be greeted (~8 min from arrival to first greet). Our server looked tired, and lacked vivacity. We didn’t receive any of the «Hey! How was your day?» stuff that you’d expect from a $ 75 pp price tag. However, our server is one of two reasons why this place is getting 2 stars and not one. The restaurant was SO cold that I was covered in goosebumps. I’m talking about NYC in February waiting for the bus kinda cold. When my server realized this, she made me a cape out of napkins and brought me a hot coffee mug to hold. Game changing. Thank you!
My boyfriend and I ordered the shrimp and grits, pork belly confit, steak & shrimp, signature dessert, and seasonal dessert. The tastiest item was the pork belly confit, which tasted like lechon from Noche Buena. Everything else however, tasted like it was from Ihop. The flavor on the steak was so poor, I gave it to my boyfriend (who’s is a trash can) to consume. Honestly, highly disappointing.
The ambience and décor was dead. Cinderella’s Royal Table is inside of a beautiful castle, but the decorations were bland and lacked a unifying idea. There was no fancy chandelier, only a hanging light that looks like it came from Lord of the Rings, and orangey yellow wallpaper. Eek! The music was also Disney themed, but was neither fun nor fancy. Jasmine, Aurora, Ariel, and Snow White all visited the table, and never broke character. This is another reason why the review is 2 stars & not one. If I were a child with no concept of money, good food, or service, I’d be blown away by the fact that i was able to interact with the Disney princesses.
Overall, we were highly disappointed with the lack of ingenuity, attention to detail, and food at Cinderella’s Royal Table. Although I will never return, if you have a child or girlfriend who is over zealous about the Disney princesses, and you have money to blow, I recommend you come here. However there is nothing adult friendly about this place. Really hoping they give this place a face lift & a decent wine menu.
