Character Dining is a wonderful way to meet several beloved Disney characters at once while dining at a Table Service restaurant!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
The Magic Kingdom has two restaurants that offer character meals: Cinderella’s Royal Table and The Crystal Palace.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
Dining inside Cinderella Castle is truly an experience every Disney fan should have at least once. And that’s the chance that Cinderella’s Royal Table presents to all the lords and ladies visiting Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella’s Royal Table is one of the hardest reservations to grab!
Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the Royal Table presents a Character Meal with several Disney Princesses.

Though characters may vary, Princesses spotted at this restaurant have included Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine, Merida, and Snow White. And Cinderella herself greets all guests before the prix-fixe meal!

The Crystal Palace
The Crystal Palace is my favorite place to see all of my Hundred Acre Wood friends at “A Buffet with Character” — Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger!

Don’t forget the Mickey Churro Waffles at breakfast!

Though it is not a traditional Character Meal, you may see the Beast roaming through his Castle during your meal at Be Our Guest Restaurant!

Usually, he’ll walk through each dining room and guests may take a photo of him from their table.
