Cinderella's Royal Table

Just the most magical time!!! We had dinner reservations at 8:30 and had requested a window seat for the fireworks since it was for my birthday! I got a champagne flight which was very good and complimented the dinner and dessert. I had the shrimp for the appetizer whereas the kids had the pork belly. All of it was perfect. For dinner I chose the lamb which was tasty and cooked to perfection. And dinner was beautiful and tasted great! It is a more costly dining experience at Disney but it is just that AN EXPERIENCE!!! Purely magical!

The food was delicious. The pork belly was excellent, as all the food we ordered from the three course menu. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient. The entire atmosphere of the castle, from the moment you step inside the place feels magic, along with the professional and friendly staff, and seeing my little niece so amazed and happy living out her fantasy with all the princesses during the dinner, worth every dollar I paid for this fantastic experience. Dining inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, it doesn't get any more magical than this.

Our experience at Disney was great till this restaurant I have to say every cast member was warm and welcoming, and went to extra mile till we went to this place. It was my daughter’s Fifth birthday we showed up to our reservations. We were 20 minutes late. Of course they refused to let us in, but that wasn’t the biggest deal. My little girl was sitting there crying and they just walked past her like she was nothing and then I guess they thought it was funny to tell us y’all come back at 6:30 just to break my little girl’s heart again. Do yourself a favor and just skip this restaurant

Dinner at Cinderella’s Royal Table is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you step inside Cinderella Castle, the experience feels immersive, elegant, and genuinely magical—exactly what you’d hope for such an iconic Disney dining experience.
The atmosphere is breathtaking. Dining inside the castle itself already sets this meal apart, but the attention to detail, regal décor, and storytelling elevate it even further. The interactions with Disney Princesses are warm, unhurried, and beautifully done, making the experience feel personal rather than rushed or staged.
The food exceeded expectations. Each course was thoughtfully prepared, well-presented, and flavorful, offering a level of quality that goes beyond typical theme park dining. Service was attentive and polished, striking the perfect balance between efficiency and making you feel like royalty for the evening.
That said, it’s important to note that this is a very expensive experience. The price is undeniably high, and it’s not something you’d book casually. However, what you’re paying for is far more than just a meal—you’re investing in an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime Disney moment.
In the end, Cinderella’s Royal Table delivers exactly what it promises: magic, elegance, exceptional service, and memories that last long after the last course is served. Despite the premium cost, it is absolutely worth it for a special occasion or a truly memorable Disney night.

This character-dining experience isn't great. You get to see the characters only once and it feels rushed. The food is below avarage. Service is okay.

You do get some souvenirs, but nothing too fancy.

Best meal of our trip. The princesses came around to every table and took time to hang out with our kids. Knocked down a star because the menu is very limited for both adults and kids and the server didn’t know much about the menu.

We had the best experience here. The waiting area has air conditioning. The princesses come in and you can take pictures with them to purchase. When you go up to eat, you go up several flights of stairs and you arrive in the dining hall. There are lots of princesses floating through for photo ops. The food was delicious. It was hot and well cooked. Their service was awesome. Our waitress did a great job. We were even able to order a special birthday cake for our daughter. It was a wonderful experience.

Cinderella’s Royal Table is pure Disney magic and easily one of the most unforgettable dining experiences in Magic Kingdom. From the moment you walk inside Cinderella Castle you feel like you have stepped directly into a fairytale. The castle itself is breathtaking up close and dining inside it feels truly special especially for families visiting Walt Disney World.

The character interactions are outstanding. Seeing Cinderella along with other Disney princesses up close makes this a dream experience for kids and honestly adults too. The princesses take their time interacting which makes it feel personal rather than rushed. If you are traveling with children this is a core Disney memory kind of meal.

The food is surprisingly good for a theme park restaurant. The menu is elevated compared to most Magic Kingdom dining options with well prepared entrees thoughtful presentation and solid flavors. The prime rib is tender the chicken is flavorful and the kids meals are done right which matters when dining with younger guests. Desserts are beautifully themed and fun without sacrificing taste.

Service is excellent from start to finish. The staff is polished friendly and completely in tune with the Disney experience. They make everything flow smoothly while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and magical.

The biggest value here is the experience. Dining inside Cinderella Castle with princesses walking through the room is something you simply cannot replicate anywhere else in Disney World. It is perfect for birthdays first trips or families who want a truly iconic Magic Kingdom restaurant.

If you are planning a Walt Disney World vacation and looking for the best character dining experience in Magic Kingdom Cinderella’s Royal Table is absolutely worth it. Book early because reservations fill fast and for good reason. This is classic Disney at its finest and a memory your family will talk about long after the trip is over.

We were so disappointed with this experience. My 4 year old was ecstatic at the 2 minutes of princess time- but with all things considered it was not worth it.

The princess experience is a few seconds long and Cinderella does not join you in the dining room, you just see her at the entrance and snap a photo. Food was subpar as was the service. The filet minion was a flat iron steak. The kids food is the same chicken strips you get at any of the stand alone food courts.

If I had the chance to pick again I would opt for the bippity bopitty experience for my daughter instead of this dining experience. And buy the Disney photos that are offered with the Disney Princess Meet and Greet. That way she has a princess make over experience, and more time with the princesses without the disappointment of the dining.

For the Magic Kingdom, this is supposed to be the best restaurant the park has to offer. The food is high-end, be it. They only provide small portions and food may not be to most people’s taste. The service is always a wonderful as cast members always go above and beyond. The atmosphere within the restaurant is quite noisy and can make hearing or intimate moments difficult. Occasionally, a round of multiple princesses will come up to each table, and if you are not prepared or are on a time crunch, this may further delay you.

Heard a few mention the food wasn’t great but it was to me! The beef was very tender, drinks were good (& strong), dessert was good, etc.

Rachel (her tag said from brick, nj) was our wonderful server. She was super attentive the entire time, kept great conversation, and helped make the experience even better!

I reserved a table on July 4th and was lucky enough to see the fireworks from the window seat. Amazing experience.

Update December 2025:
I visited again, and it was a magical experience. The food was truly outstanding. Worth every penny. We were seated next to the window, and we were watching the fireworks while we ate.

Service/staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The restaurant truly feels like a castle, it’s pretty neat. Meeting Cinderella before sitting down was pretty awesome. The food is good, better than a lot of the other options inside the magic kingdom park. All the princesses came by our table and made our experience wonderful.

This was a great experience. We went for dinner during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The level of service we received from beginning to end was absolutely wonderful. It started with the kids getting to meet Cindarella, take a photo and get an autograph. Then we were brought to our table in the main dining area. Our server was very attentive and friendly. During the dinner, the kids got to meet and take pictures with more of the princesses as well. The food, was a good value for the higher price of this restaurant. It was not small portions, and the three courses made it worth it. I had the chilled shrimp to start, my main course was the Filet Mignon, and for dessert I had an incredible cheesecake that literally looked like swiss cheese which also had Jaq and Gus on a piece of white chocolate to continue the theme. I loved everything that was brought out. My wife had the Lamb Chops, which were also amazing, and for dessert she had the “Carriage” Cake which looked like a Pumpkin. The kids had a generous helping of Chicken Tenders and Mac and Cheese for dinner. Afterwards they received a Sword in the Stone mousse for dessert which was also creative. My son casually mentioned to our server that his birthday was in a few days just in conversation. She wished him a happy early birthday and surprised him with a birthday cupcake which was unexpected, but very appreciated. One of the many little things that Disney tends to do to make the experience that much better. Overall, I would come back here in a heartbeat. Do your family a favor and check this place out if you want to give them a truly memorable experience while at Magic Kingdom, I’m glad we did.
