One of the most coveted dining reservations to acquire during a trip to Disney World is Cinderella’s Royal Table at Magic Kingdom. A common question is “Is it really worth the price tag?” In a short answer, yes! Let me explain why.
Getting to dine at this popular restaurant will cost you anywhere from $35.00 - $45.99 for a child (aged 3 - 9) and $65 - $80 for an adult. These prices fluctuate depending on the season. If using the Disney Dining Plan, you will utilize two table service credits.
Upon checking in for your reservation you will be directed to meet with Cinderella where you have the opportunity to take a picture and spend a few minutes with Cinderella. Photopass photographers are there to capture this precious moment!
One of the main reasons I believe it’s so worth the money is for the exclusive one on one time with some of the princesses, they fluctuate but usually rotate between Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White and Jasmine. There is no waiting in a long line for a meet and greet for your little one’s favorite princess, you get to enjoy a wonderful meal while these princesses come to your table to take pictures and make you smile. Have your cameras ready for these precious moments.
While you can’t go wrong with any of your dining options, I would advise you to let your little ones enjoy the “Build Your Own Cupcake” for dessert! This kept my little ones entertained as they enjoyed icing and decorating their own cupcake. So much fun!
And our little boys are not forgotten during this princess meal! Princes are given little swords to make them feel special.
If you are looking for a way to make your Cinderella’s Royal Table reservation even more special, schedule it during the Happily Ever After fireworks show that goes off at around 9 pm, check your park map for a specific time as it varies by season. Watching these magical fireworks from inside Cinderella’s Royal Table is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
My biggest tip is to make sure you or your travel agent secures this hard to get reservation when they open 180 days before your check-in. This certainly is not a dining experience you want to miss!
