Happy Holidays! We’ve been eating SO many holiday snacks at Disney World!
But we’ve also been at every recent restaurant reopening and kept an eye on menu updates! So here’s what’s happened with Disney restaurants this past week!
Earlier this year, Cinderella’s Royal Table reopened, featuring a very quick appearance by Cinderella herself!

And while we munched on some chicken and tenderloin of beef when we visited, a NEW entree will soon be joining the menu for all to enjoy!
Things at Disney World have definitely changed following the park closures.
We’re constantly watching for Park Pass Reservation availability, ordering a LOT more on Mobile Order, and dealing with a whole new world where FastPass+ is suspended. On top of all that, there’s limited capacity at the parks.
Character dining has started to return to spots like Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios and we’ve seen characters make very brief appearances in Cinderella’s Royal Table and Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom.
But, the character dining experience is very much modified from what it used to be in Disney World.
Last week was a good week for dining in Disney World!
We had a TASTY end of the week as we got to return to Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom and to Minnie’s Seasonal Dine at Hollywood & Vine in Hollywood Studios. BOTH of these locations are now available for walk-up through the Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist in the My Disney Experience app!
For many guests, dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table is at the top of their Disney World bucket list!
Located inside Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, the incredible atmosphere and opportunity to meet the Disney Princesses have traditionally been the main selling points of this restaurant. But, upon initial reopening, the princesses are no longer stopping by for guests meet-and-greets — although Cinderella may make an appearance from a distance. So, is Cinderella’s Royal Table worth visiting even without the chance to meet the Disney Princesses? Let’s dive in!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the news for you this week. Today we have the details on the latest in the Disney World theme parks and MORE!
See all of our coverage on Disney park reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Hello from Magic Kingdom! We’re wandering around this wonderful world that’s all decked out for Halloween and having a blast!
It doesn’t seem that long ago when we were here last (it wasn’t), but we still have a lot of updates! So let’s get to it!
Well, we were in for a glorious surprise today!
As you might have heard, Cinderella’s Royal Table is set to reopen in Magic Kingdom tomorrow. Well, you can imagine our surprise when it soft-opened TODAY. And with a 5 MINUTE wait at that, which is shocking if you know how in demand this place tends to be. Of course, we got ourselves a table — and you’ll never believe WHO we saw!
Although several restaurants around Disney World are still closed, quite a few have started to reopen recently.
Today, another restaurant officially reopened, this time in Magic Kingdom, a whole day earlier than it was originally scheduled to!
