Cinderella's Royal Table — Disney World's Magic Kingdom

UPDATED April 17, 2026

Dining in Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle is truly an experience every Disney fan should have.

Cinderella’s Royal Table

Once you enter the castle’s waiting chamber, you’ll meet the lovely Cinderella to start this Fairytale Dining Character Meal! From here, you walk up the winding stone staircase to the grand dining hall, which is hung with plush tapestries, outfitted in red and purple velvet, and sparkling with light coming through stained-glass castle windows. Yes, you’re REALLY here!

No matter whether you dine for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner, food from the prix-fixe menu tends to be simply adequate for the signature price tag, but that’s not really what you’re paying for anyway. You’re paying to eat INSIDE the castle (complete with vaulted stone ceilings, banner flags from the kingdom, and all!), and meet several Disney Princesses while you’re at it. Though characters may vary, Princesses spotted at this restaurant have included Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine, and Snow White.

It truly is a royal experience, and we’ve got several TIPS for your Cinderella’s Royal Table experience here! We also have tips to landing a reservation this incredibly popular restaurant HERE.

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a dream if…

You’ve dreamed of seeing the inside of Cinderella Castle. This is the ultimate dining experience to be dining among Cinderella and a few of her fellow Disney Princesses while enjoying a full meal from start to finish.
You’re looking to make your next Disney World visit’s celebration EXTRA special! This restaurant is a popular option in general, but if you’re really looking to plus up the “WOW” factor for your next celebration on vacation, the restaurant, meal, and character meet and greets are already impressive on their own. But, there’s also a few special things you can order to enhance this even further.
You favor the experience and are willing to spend a little more than usual for it. There’s no getting around the pricey cost for this experience whether you’re paying cash for it at booking or with Disney Dining Plan credits (currently, it’s 2 credits per person to visit here). But, if the experience for the meal, a more intimate meet and greet with a few Disney Princesses, and the opportunity to step inside the castle and see how Disney royalty entertain guests and dine, well, we can’t say we blame you much!

You should skip this Disney World experience if…

Budget conscious value is more your goal. Yes, it’s going to cost you a lot of money to dine here. We enjoyed this visit, however, it is more the experience that we crave for a repeat visit here over the food. While the food was good quality and we left with a full belly, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get food of equal quality cheaper somewhere else.
Your kids (or you) just aren’t into the more “classic” Disney Princesses. Disney Princesses have evolved over the last several years, and more and more of their storylines have moved them away from traditional medieval castles they called home. If your experience would be better placed in somewhere like Mirabel’s enchanted Casita or Moana’s island oasis on Motunui, this might feel a bit dated for what you’re looking for.
The entire idea of this restaurant and its experience doesn’t blow you away on paper. This isn’t a restaurant that will please everyone, and while it is super popular, it’s a time sucker, too. If you’re someone who’s looking to spend minimal down time from your park plans, this experience will take 1-2 hours, and you may not want to give that time up. Just because it’s a frequently booked restaurant doesn’t mean it’s the right experience for everyone’s ideal vacation. It’s totally fine to spend your time finishing out your Lightning Lanes, capturing those PhotoPass photos out in the rides and walkways, and picking up a Mickey pretzel to keep moving on!

Important Info

The cost to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table for Breakfast is $74 per Adult and $45 per Child (ages 3 to 9).
The cost to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table for Lunch or Dinner is $88 per Adult and $52 per Child (ages 3 to 9).
Advance Dining Reservations are very difficult to get for Cinderella’s Royal Table, especially for breakfast. Call 60 days in advance for reservations. If staying at a Disney resort, call 60 days in advance and ask for availability during all days of your stay.
A credit card number is required at time of booking. If you need to cancel, do so prior to 2 hours before your reservation time; there will be a fee to cancel within 2 hours. According to the Disney World website, “The full price of the experience for each member of the party will be charged/forfeited if you fail to cancel with sufficient notice or don’t show up for your reservation.”
Characters (Princesses and others) appear at breakfast, lunch, and dinner here.
Dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table includes a photo op with Cinderella downstairs in the waiting area. Cast Members will take a photo with your own camera or you can have a PhotoPass photo uploaded to your PhotoPass account. (Note that even though she’s downstairs when you get there, that doesn’t mean she’s coming upstairs during lunch or dinner!)
If you are dining in the evening, please be aware that the area around Cinderella Castle is roped off shortly before the Happily Ever After fireworks each night. If you plan to watch the fireworks, Disney suggests that you depart the castle at least 20 minutes before showtime.
