    wgeo - Our experience here was amazing. It was just my DD (6 at the time) and I. We had breakfast and DD dressed up in her Cinderella finest! The wait for the picture was short, we were brought right upstairs and seated right away. We were give a 2 seat table right next to a window overlooking Fantasyland, it was amazing. The food was fine, the pastries were more outstanding then the otherwise standard breakfast fare. More important for this meal was my DD's reaction to everything around her - which was nothing short of pure amazement and joy - so honestly the food was not the most important part of the meal. The character interaction was great especially as DD decided to be shy and not talk to the princesses but they didn't use that as an excuse to leave too quickly and were always sure to "check" with me before moving on. Wonderful memories and the pictures turned out wonderful - I thought only an 8 x 10 came with, but there were also 4 4x6's included which was unexpected (at least to me.)

    Disgirl17 - I would do this again. I had the steak and eggs - they were good. The characters were wonderful. After we finished eating though we felt rushed to get out as all the tables around us were getting cleaned off. I think it is worth the price as a once a year treat. Don't forget it is all you can eat so order as much as you want.

    lisakramer - Say what you want, but it's fun to be able to sit in the castle and eat a meal while meeting princesses. I prefer the breakfast over the other meals. I think you get more for your money and the food is better quality. The interaction has always been great. The face characters are wonderful with adults and kids. This meal is fast, you will be out before you expect to be, but I don't feel rushed. Gustavo has been our server there for years and he is AWESOME!

    jlundeen - While our party of 6 adults found the meal to be tasty, we all felt that overall quality has slipped. Fun to watch the little ones interace with the characters, and when they came to our table, we all got photos too! This is ok food but overpriced. Add to that the fact that they do not serve ANY alcohol, it's not really that fun for adults. (Nothing like a nice beef tenderlon with a tall glass of iced lemon water!) Probably won't go back.

    Flounder11 - We had dinner on a weekday night at 515. We were taken to our table fairly quickly. The picture with cinderella came out great! The bread rolls were yum. Our server was polite and sweet. Food looked and tasted like it had been sitting out for hrs then heated. Inedible. I got the pork which was overcooked and tasted like rubber. My dd5 loved imteracting with the princesses. They were all sweet esp little mermaid. The dessert was OK. It was hreat to meet the princesses and get some pics but wayyyy overpriced. Wont go back again.

    librarygeek - You go here for the experience of eating in the castle and dining with the princesses, not so much the food. You get to meet a majority of the major princesses, and the inside of the restaurant is beautiful. That being said, the food isn't bad. It's just not a $60 meal by any means based on food alone. Definitely worth going at least once, but I wouldn't make it a frequent visit.

    tehSAC - This was our only character meal of our trip. In my opinion it was money well spent. Some of our favorite memories are of our daughter meeting her favorite princesses, and grabbing some great photos to go along with it. Food wasn't spectacular, but I knew that going in, and was okay with that.

    WIDisneyFan - When it comes to location CRT is just about impossible to beat, as for the food it is ok but not anywhere near what would be expected for the price. We have always enjoyed our meals here but this is definitely more about the experience than the food

    TXDad811 - I was really apprehensive about eating here based on reviews I read on the forum, worried about lack of good character interaction and poor quality of food. It didn't start well as the lady checking people in argued with us on our reservation time (we were right). Then, after getting our picture taking with Cinderella, we had a long wait for a table with a lot of other people with very little room to move. Once we sat, I thought the food was excellent, as did everyone else in my party. The chef was good about dealing with allergies as well. What puts CRT over the top though is the character interaction. We had a late reservation (9:15). My 2 year old daughter did as well as she could, taking a nap during the day, but she ended up sleeping through nearly all the meal, including seeing the princesses. However, my four year old son (who this meal was not intended for) ended up getting ALL of the attention, including receiving kisses from each princess, and had a great time (Belle was particularly awesome, coming around 3 times). And, despite what you made read elsewhere, pics and autographs do happen. Highly recommended, at least once in your life.

    brivers222 - We were on the Dining Plan so Cost was what it would have been if we paid cash. We decided on this trip to try CRT for breakfast because in the past two(2) times at dinner we were less than thrilled with the food. Basically we were let in within 10mins of our ADR time and within 20mins we were having our picture with Cinderella. She must have been on break because we were waiting in line for a while without her in the room. once seated we were greeted with food that was no better than any other breakfast location on site (actually there are others better). But we come for the characters right?! Well all i wanted to do was meet snow white and out of all the times we visited this was the first time she WAS NOT there... what a let down. This place is not worth the Cash Price nor the 2TS dining credits. Perhaps if you were on the Deluxe plan as we were and you had some credits to spare this would be fine.

    DaisyFoote - Every little princess must eat in Cinderella's castle at least once in her life. My dd had the best time. It was hard for her to wait so long to meet the princesses (we were at the end of the princesses's roatation), but it was worth the wait in the end. Ariel was especially good - she was being very animated with my DD and then Belle came back to see what was so exciting. It was very cute. We didn't love the food - we are common folks and don't have the taste buds of royalty. :) It was a wonderful experience, but probably once in her life is enough for my dd.

    thetony45 - Cinderella's Castle is my favorite building in the world, so dining inside it was always a dream of mine. I wasn't able to secure the reservation at my 180 day out mark, but as stubborn as I am I called back every day until finally at 3 weeks out from my trip I got the reservation I always dreamed of. I showed up well ahead of time for my 8:35 reservation so I was prepared to wait. Despite being so early The cast members at the front desk gave me a royal invitation to dine, bowed and allowed me to go in. Cinderella herself was there to greet me in the entrance hall. A royal photographer was on hand and took my picture with cinderella. The Entrance Hall was wonderfully themed with a suit of armor and Cinderella's mouse freinds hiding in the rafters. A sprial staircase with a red carpet covering it lead the way to the Dining Hall. There was a beautiful stained glass window with Cinderella's picture. The restrooms were labeled for Lords and Ladies. Words cannot describe the dining hall. It was wonderfully decorated with medival flags. I was given a toy sword and a wishing star then led to my table. I was seated next a window with a fantastic view of Fantasyland. My server refered to me as "lord" the whole time which brought a smile to my face. The meal consisted of fresh squeesed Orange juice, a large plate of pastries (the cinamon rolls are to die for) A lage bowl of fresh sliced fruit and french toast stuffed with creme cheese. It was by far the best meal I had the whole week. Not to long after my food came a narrartor told an abridged story of Snow White as Snow White herself entered the hall. Mine was the third table she visited. I was worried that being an adult and dining alone the princess would blow right past my table. I was pleasently surprised. Thanks to a nice man at the table next to mine I was able to get a picture with Snow white. (i ended up asking for this nice man's help alot that day) Once Snow White was a few tables away the narrator told an abridged story of sleeping Beauty as Princess Aurora entered. Once again I was very happy with the amount of time she spent at my table. Shortly after Aurora left the royal photographer presented me with my photo package of an 8 x 10 of me with Cinderella, and 8 x 10 of the Castle, and four 5 x 7s of me with Cinderella that where included with the price of the meal. Next out was my favorite Princess of them all, Ariel. I was wearing my lanyard with all my Disney pins. Ariels quickly spotted one of her in mermaid form and raved but how much she loved it. For me that was the highlight of the entire experience. Last but least was Belle. I made her laugh when I said despite what the villagers think I respect a women who reads. She made me laugh when she asked me to use my toy sword to take care of her Gaston problem. Once all 4 Pincess were in the hall came the wishing ceremony. I wont spoil it here other to say im a 26 year old man and it brought a tear to my eye. Defiently worth the cost. Everyone should experience this at least once.

    meganamess - This was our second time dining at CRT. We loved it. I was worried my 14 year old nephew would despise the experience, but he really did enjoy it. He loved meeting the princesses, and the food. We loved the stuffed French toast. The princesses do a great job interacting with guests. We really enjoyed the conversations with each one. This is truly a magical experience for children of all ages.

    mousireid - WE arrived 15 mins before our ADR and waited about the same to see Cinbderella, which was a quick picture and interaction. Moved upstairs, immediately seated, children had usual fare. Appetizer small but tasty antipasto. I enjoyed a new take on Shepherds Pie and my husband loved his Salmon. We were also brought out all four dessert and something for the children too. Interaction was amazing, every princess played with our childs playdoh and a competition ensued to see who would make the best item! Much cameraderie between the princesses too. Rather pricey but this lunch time we could not fault it and would do it again.

    irishtigger - Everything was PERFECT from our seat to our food it was great. We had a late reservation hoping to be able to see the fireworks and it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant was empty as our reservations were at 9:35pm so there were plenty of seats. We asked for a seat by the window and got one looking right out at the Cinderella’s carousel. We got to see the fireworks up close and personal and it was great. The food was absolutely delicious and I am very happy we choose to eat her on our last night. The only thing we didn’t see was Tinkerbell flying but it was not a problem. I liked the dinner so much more than breakfast here. Our waitress was Great! I know I am an adult but I really wanted a wand and the waitress brought 1 for me and my mom which I thought was really nice!

    mlangille - Not sure how anybody being a Disney fan could rate this experience poorly. This is not just a meal, it is an experience. That's what you pay for. The meal however was great. The Prime rib was done very well and we were all certainly full when we left. Seeing all the Princesses in one spot was really special. My children were 8,12 - enjoyed themselves, really fu watching some of the younger children and how great the Princesses were with the children - more fun then watching young children excited for Santa.The family photo provided and all the trinkets will be kept - what a great memory eating there. I found the service good - the food was delivered in great time and we got to see all the characters there. We all found it a lot of fun. It was probably our best dining experience and 2nd best restaurant we went to throughout the week.

    rstout - We were apprehensive about eating here because of the very mixed reviews about the food, but we thought that the experience alone would be worth it. We were very pleasantly surprised. We were warmly greeted at the door and almost immediately escorted in. There was a short wait for the photo, and then Cinderella was a perfect in her role. There was then a short, but pleasant wait to be called upstairs. I started with the BLT salad and my partner with the corn and crab soup. Both were was excellent (and I'm a harsh critic). The presentation was very nice. Next we had the prime rib and the pork chop. Both are easy to over cook. Not overcooked, perfect! We had planned dinner (starting at 6:40 p.m.) so that we would be done in time to go outside and watch Wishes from right in front of the castle. We realized that it was about 7:40 when our dessert was delivered. We could have easily eaten dessert and been outside by 8:00, but we would have needed to rush a bit. I thought they would try to rush us out, but as about 7:50 approached, it was obvious that they intended for all of us to stay. There was an announcement that during the Wishes the light level would be lowered and people should plan for that and not walk around in the dining room. We decided to stay. We are sure glad we did. It was very exciting to experience the fireworks inside. While we could not enjoy the show in the traditional sense, it was a unique experience. Some of the fireworks were being launched very close to the windows and were very loud. The piped in the Wishes music into the dining room, so it was very exciting. This alone made the experience worth it, but then add on eating in the castle, the princesses, the excellent food and a great waiter; this entire experience was to 10+. Truly magical.

    mylittlebuttercup - I have been to CRT a few times and always enjoyed my meal a lot, although I don't think I would say it was the BEST meal I had at WDW. The atmosphere is wonderful, and my fianc loved the lamb there, so we will definitely be going back this summer.: Posted via eTicket

    msufan - This is the breakfast that everyone should do once. This has also been my husband's favorite character meal so far. He said that he would even recommend it to people without daughters. When you first get in, your entire party is photographed with Cinderella. Those pictures are included in your meal price and are delivered to your table before you leave. The food is pretty good. I've had better, but the atmosphere just cannot be topped. You're eating in the castle, and all of the princesses come by and interact with you. There is also a "wishing ceremony" where all of the little girls receive wands and little boys receive swords to take home. Both my son and daughter still talk about eating with Cinderella. This experience is pricey, but I recommend doing it at least once in your life. It IS worth it.

    Cherinva - We went here for dinner and the experience was beyond our wildest dreams. That day, I had my DGD done up at the BBB as Cinderella. They did a wonderful job, and all the characters loved that she was dressed up just like Cindy. Our view of Fantasy Land was great. Our service was top notch and the food we had was the best. Although, the cost is high (we used 2 TS credits) I feel this is worth it, at least once. The decor is lovely. We had a wonderful time with the characters and I highly recommend this to anyone.

    krisleee - We were able to get an ADR for 8 for a late breakfast in March 2009. (Got it on the first try - I think it had something to do with the changeover of the ADR reservation system last year....) Everyone in our family loved the breakfast and agreed it was well worth it. The food was good and you were able to eat your fill. Our waiter was excellent. We had ample time with the princesses for photos and autograph signing. The adults in our party enjoyed the experience as much as the 5 year old princess. We were with several slow eaters, but we did not feel rushed. I'm not sure how I lucked out with the ADR on the first try but I'm so happy we were able to experience dining with the Princesses in the Castle. I would definitely do breakfast here again.

    jkornoff - Had a friend at Disney get us in at the last minute. I think they just added us in at the very end so we had the entire restauraunt to ourselfs after a few minutes. sorts like "after hours" access! in any case, we had a lot of fun with the cast members after everone left and they were able to relax and let their hair down. We got some great pictures we'll keep to ourselves. ;): Posted by eTicket

    Madi100 - Our first experience with Cinderella's Royal Table was 7 years ago when my daughter 4. It was simply magical. It was worth having 2 of us getting up way early and calling over and over again until we got our reservation. You just can not beat the location of sitting in the castle, eating breakfast, being visited by princesses. We have done this meal a total of 3 times, each visit being magical. My younger daughter was even named honorary princess and was first to lead everyone upstairs. We enjoy the food, although I wish we could pick some healthy and some not. We never tried, so maybe you can. Unfortunately, Disney realizes how magical this experience is and has raised the price to make it too expensive for some. It is definitely not worth 2 credits on the dining plan, pay out of pocket. But, the demand is still there, so I doubt Disney is going to change the pricing on this meal. Do it once so you can say you've experienced it, then eat in Norway at Epcot.

    xJersey_Guy - In my humble opinion, the greatest missed opportunity at Disney World. Given the magnificent space the restaurant occupies, this should be the premier dining experience on property. Sadly it is not. On a recent trip with wife, although I found the lamb to be passable my wife found her Cheese Tortellini to be inedible. My wife's comment was that Chef Boy-R-Dee would slap their face. Sharing a bite I agreed that opening up a can would have produced a better result. Our server seemed on a mission to set a new world indoor table turning speed record. Although we tried to order our appetizers separate from our entrees our server came over three times in five minutes, and also sent the food runner over, to "see if we had decided yet". Finally, we gave in - a mistake as the entrees arrived two minutes after the appetizers. We were also treated to our servers constant glare as we tried to hold a conversation over dessert. Given that dinner was part of a package, we did not even have the satisfaction of not leaving a tip. This probably explains the poor service as the servers have no monetary interest in the quality of the customer service provided. The best part of the character interaction was us laughing at how much the fairy godmother looked like Paula Deen. This however, was at a distance as she never came close to our table. My advice would be to stay far away from Cinderella's Royal Table. If there is a need to get a Cinderella fix, try the incalculably better and cheaper Cinderella's Happily Ever After Dinner at 1900 Park Fare.

    pperfectmom - I would second the recommendation that everyone eat here once. We had breakfast and it was a "nice" meal. The food was adequate and the character interaction was great. However, it is way overpriced for what you get and we loathed the wait to get a picture with Cinderella. It was crazy that you pay that much money and have to stand there for so long. We probably will not eat here again.

    LuccaDrake - We ate here back in 9/2006 I believe. When you enter the restaurant you then wait to get your picture taken with Cinderella. (A picture package is included with the meal price.) She had a nice conversation with us and we didn't feel rushed at all. Afterwards they seat you at your table. We were seated off to the side and not in the middle main dining area but it was fine since we are two adults and don't have any young girls to entertain. You are given a menu with limited choices for appetizer, entree, and dessert. The appetizer's were okay but I remember both of our dinners almost being inedible. It seemed like the chicken I got had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Pretty bad. The dessert wasn't anything to write home about either. But this is a common thing I hear that it's about the experience and not the food. I also hear that the breakfast is a better choice. While you are eating the fairy godmother and mice, perla and suzie, come around to your table. The fairy godmother also took her time talking to us. After the fairy godmother makes her rounds some music starts playing and then she announces birthdays, proposals, and other special news. Cinderella and the prince come out to dance as well for a minute. Overall a nice experience to eat in the castle but probably will not go back unless we have a little girl to take there. Also of note was that I had seen these mugs and champagne flutes next to the entrance and had asked our waiter if they were for purchase. He told us no, that they were only given out for birthdays, etc. However, at the end of our meal he brought the bill and a box and guess what was inside but two champagne flutes for me! It was really sweet of him to do that and we made sure to tip him extra. Another special thing that happened that night was that when we were done eating we exited the restaurant only to find that we couldn't leave! The were roping off the areas around the castle as the fireworks were about to start. So we had no choice but to watch them from underneath the castle with Cinderella who came out to join the maybe 10 guests that were there. I highly suggest trying to time this right if you can, it felt really special being under the castle staring at throngs of people down below who weren't allowed up there.

    TrekBoy85 - We had a lot of fun at this restaraunt. Originally, my wife and I had booked dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table to celebrate our anniversary. After it was booked, we heard some not so great reviews and looked at the menu...we weren't sure that anything appealed to us. We were able to change the reservation to breakfast a couple days later. We are in our mid 20s but still kids at heart and we have always wanted to eat in the castle. We were one of the first groups to enter. We lined up to have our picture taken with Cinderella. This process was a little rushed, but somehow we managed to fit in a whole conversation about finding glass slippers and the importance of shoes. We were extremely lucky and were seated in the center window seat overlooking Fantasy Land. Once we were seated our server brought out some bread and pastries...it seemed like a lot of bread and pastries, but they were good. The princesses (Snow White, Aurora, Belle, and Jasmine) moved around the room quickly, but it seemed everyone got quality time (ok, this is sort of a lie...you can never have enough time with Disney Princesses...but you didn't feel cheated). This is a small restaraunt, so it is very easy to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time...not like 1900 Park Fare where you could be waiting a little longer for the characters to make it to your table. The main course consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cheesy-potato stuff, and "stuffed french toast" (aka funnel cake with something in it). It was all actually very delicious and filling. My only gripe was with the bacon...Disney has issues with their bacon. For lack of a better description it is almost plastic-like (but to me, this is a Disney World-Wide problem). The eggs and potatoes were delicious, as was the "stuffed french toast." I was so full after bread, pastries, and my first plate that I was unable to go back for seconds. If you're coming for breakfast and taking pictures, be aware that the large windows let in a lot of sunlight, yet, there are a lot of shadowy areas...this can cause some problems in getting perfect photos. While this can be a pricey option for breakfast (either by paying or using the dining plan), it's hard to resist the charm, food and princesses at Cinderella's Royal Table Breakfast...to me, this restaraunt embodies why people travel thousands of miles to Disney World every year...to have a great time and for just a moment pretend they live in a storybook. We highly reccomend it...just make sure to make reservations well in advance.

    hideeh - We have experienced both lunch and breakfast here. Nice princess interaction. The wishing ceremony is a bit hokey, but our DD 9 seems to enjoy it each time she participates. The stuffed french toast is a favorite of our family for breakfast. At breakfast there is plenty of food served on your first plate and you can have more if you would like. You have a choice of the traditional style (stuffed french toast, sausage, bacon, potatoe casserole and scrambled eggs) or healthy (yogurt, granola, fruit) Juice and pstries are also served. Luch was a more limited menu selection. Food was so/so. This restaurant is 2 table services credits if you are working with the dining plan. Also it is a coveted reservation. On our most recent trip (May 2009) we were unable to secure ADR's prior to the trip because it was a last minute trip, however, I was sucessful with two walk up attempts.

    bsusanmb - Our previous visits to this restaurant were very disappointing. The food was just awful. We dined there in October of 2008, for dinner, and it was surprisingly good. We were the last to be seated, so the children, ages 3 and 4, had a lot of time to spend with Cinderella. She told them stories and pointed out the mice, and they loved it. They were dressed like Cinderella and Prince Caspian...and they were just adorable in the photos. Our meal was actually very very good, which was surprising. There were 8 of us and we all liked it. The faily godmother and the mice did a little show, and that was cute. You have to do this once, afterall it is Cinderalla's Castle! But really, we were quite surprised on the improvement. Would have liked to have had Cinderella there, but we knew that up front.

    msc_idiot - While I would recommend this for the experience of being treated like royalty, the food was a big disappointment. My dad loved what he got, but the rest of us were not happy. The best part of the meal was the drinks and bread. We did not stay for the show, so I don't know if that makes it any more worth the money. I have heard that the breakfast is much better, however.

    xipetotec - Once we actually managed to GET ADR's to this place, we arrived a bit early. At which point they had a photo-op with Cinderella before going up to the dining room. The food is served to you ( as opposed to being a buffet ) and for the most part was "okay". The exception was the strudel which was amazing. The girls were all given a magic wand and the boys got a sword and were all given sufficient time with the princesses. We had a great time, and it's something to say you ate in the castle. If you're willing to put in the work to try and get an ADR.

    MTW - We had dinner in the castle the night I ran the Disney marathon in Jan 2009. It was expensive, I would say that the cost compared to what you get is the only major detraction. We all thought the food was really good. I had the corn and crab soup, prime rib and chocolate buckle for dessert. My husband ordered the Castle Salad, which is mixed greens with blue cheese, raspberries and candied walnuts with raspberry vinegrette, lemon lavender chicken and the sorbet with berries. We both LOVED the appetizers. The salad was really good as was the soup. The chicken was just OK and he wasn't a huge fan of the sorbet. But it's sugar free sorbet...so I'm not sure what he was expecting. I'm not sure exactly what DS4 ordered but I know that they did bring DS2 a complimentary plate of buttered noodles, a complimentary drink and a complimentary sundae for dessert which I thought was above and beyond. Shockingly when making plans for our next trip in October, DH said that he would like to eat here, when he doesn't want to eat anywhere else we've eaten before! And that's sayin' somthing :)

    PE_TCR - If you have a special celebration this is the place to be. I proposed here and they know how to do it! Granted the proposal package is a lil on the pricey side but this is a once in a lifetime experience so it was well worth it! They even had a private photographer there to catch every moment. If you are thinjking about proposing I would reccomend this as the place to do it. Just call ahead and they will take care of the rest. We went back on our honeymoon and they, again, treated us like royality. I called ahead and mentioned we were engaged there and asked for the same special desert and they went above and beyond. The food is good. It was better then average but there are places that do have better food. This did not disappoint though. The crab and corn soup is excellent. I had the prime rib each time and I enjoyed it. The dinner show is nice and not over the top at all. While it is a little pricey it does include a picture package. Thos pictures can be added to yoru photopass at no cost as well. We may not go here every time we are in the park but for special occasions this is a must do!

    raftislander - My 15 year old daughter really wanted to eat in the Castle, so I made the ADR expecting it to be an "do it once experience." My daughter, my ever so thrifty husband, and I had a delightful meal that we would do again in a heartbeat. We ate lunch there April 2009. The room is spectacular- really lovely. There is something special about eating in the castle. I had low expectations about the food and was delightfully surprized. The appetizer plate had yummy antipasto goodies. The Major Domo pie was very good and enjoyed by both my husband and daughter. I had the pasta pomodoro (I would call it a primavera) with a very light sauce with chunks of vegetables. It could have used more seasoning, but was good, not great. The desserts -chocolate buckle and the berry sorbet -were both delicious. I like the fact that this character meal is not a buffet, as you did not have to worry about missing a character while up getting food. The princesses did not linger at your table, nor was it a driveby wave. They stopped, chatted, posed, and signed their autograph. We had dinner at 1900 Park Fare and the cost of this meal was only slightly more than our total bill there as the tip is included in the price. For that extra $$ you get an unforgettable location, better food, great service, and a photo to boot.

    Carolinagal - This is one of my favorite character meals primarily because of the excitement of the little princesses. The "big" princesses all visit and spend plenty of time at each table. I have some wonderful photos of my daughter at this breakfast I will treasure forever because of the joy on her face! The food is served family style and is tasty. The staff will bring more of whatever you care for, and are very accomodating. Recommend breakfast for any prince or princess!

    dpuck1998 - If zero was an option I would have given it a zero. Bar none the worst character meal in all of WDW!! They rest on the fact that people want to eat at the castle and suck every penny out of you with nothing in return. The character interaction is awful, the food terrible and the service dreadful. I will never visit this location again until things are changed.

    Swank - We had Breakfast, the food was above Average. The character interaction was top notch, it is nice that princesses can talk to you. The dining room was very nice, very Castle Like. We all had a ball.

    I<3EvilQueen - I would say this is a must do at least once for guests, or take your friends and family if they have never been. We went for Dinner so it wasn't as character intensive. You get to meet and take a picture with Cinderella as you wait to be called up to eat, and given either a sword or a wand. The character "show" during dinner was a bit disappointing as it was just the Fairy Godmother wishing people happy birthday, but the lighting effects is AMAZING. The food was a bit dry and the Pear dessert was horrible.

    peacefrogdog - If it wasn't for our daughters having birthday celebrations in the Magic Kingdom, there would be no other reason to spend this much money on a meal. The food was something that I could make on a Sunday evening, and I'm not a great cook! What's unfortunate about the supper meal is that you only see Cinderella on the way in, and only see the fairy godmother and the little mice during dinner. My daughter was waiting for Cinderella to 'come back' during the entire meal.

    dpuck1998 - Food is terrible, character interaction was the worst of any character mean I've done, service was awful. They know people will eat here so they have tuned this into an terrible experience. I will never go back. Visit 1900 Park Faire or Norway for much better service and character interactions!

    mmmears - We ate lunch here and really liked the food & the fact that we could each choose what we wanted to eat. The character interaction is more rushed than it needs to be (it's a small restaurant) and the cost is prohibitive, but it makes my DD feel like a princess.

    HulaJenny - If you can get and ADR it is worth it at least once. The automatic picture pkg makes it pricey. There is something about the formality of eating in the iconic castle and the royal introductions makes this really special. Pre-fix menu choices for lunch, pretty good.


You will feel like royalty while enjoying your dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table. This popular restaurant is home to three Character Meals. Joining Cinderella at all three meals will be her Disney princess friends. The Fairy Godmother is not present at these meals, but Cinderella will greet guests for photos as they enter dinner. The dining room is surprisingly small and intimate with tapestries, soaring ceilings, warm wood trim and leaded glass windows overlooking Fantasyland. The price includes a photo package. A souvenir picture will be taken of your party in the restaurant lobby. The photo packet has four 4x6 prints, one 6x8 print, and a 6x8 photo of the castle presented in a Cinderella themed folder. (Parties of 1-6 get one photo packet, parties of 7-11 get two, parties of 12-15 get three and parties of 16 or more get six photo packages.) Full payment is required when booking these meals. The price per person is $36 to $59.99. A 24 hour cancellation policy is in effect. If you do not cancel before then, a penalty is applied.
