How much is Cinderella's Royal Table?

Around $95 per adult for the prix fixe, paid in full at the time of booking rather than on the day. That prepayment is unusual at Walt Disney World and it means a late cancellation costs the entire amount.

Which princesses appear at Cinderella's Royal Table?

Cinderella greets guests in the lobby for a photograph before seating, and several princesses visit tables during the meal — typically Ariel, Aurora, Snow White and Jasmine, though the roster rotates. Confirm on the day, not promising a specific princess to a child.

Is Cinderella's Royal Table worth it?

For the castle, yes. For the food, no. It is the most expensive character meal on property and the cooking is competent, not special — you are buying the room, the princesses and an included photograph.

Do you need a park ticket for Cinderella's Royal Table?

Yes. The restaurant is inside Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, so you need valid park admission for that day to reach it. That makes it a different proposition from the resort character meals.

Cinderella's Royal Table — is it worth booking?

Cinderella's Royal Table

By Melissa — lives fifteen minutes from Walt Disney World and is in the parks most weeks

Who that is

Writer and presenter, Whistle While You Work

Melissa moved to Celebration, Florida, and stopped treating Disney as a once-a-year sprint. She is in the parks most weeks, films what she finds, and writes the pages here from that — plus the research it takes to check it. Her position, in her own words: Disney does not have to be perfect to be magical, and the goal was never to do everything.

Is it worth the money?

Only if eating inside the castle is the point. At roughly $95 a head — and prepaid in full when you book — this is the most expensive character meal at Walt Disney World and the food does not justify it on its own.

What does justify it: you are inside Cinderella Castle, several princesses visit every table, and the photograph is included rather than an upsell. It is prepaid, so cancellations inside the window cost you the whole amount.

Who it’s right for

Families for whom eating inside Cinderella Castle is a genuine ambition, particularly with a child who wants to meet the princesses in the setting rather than in a meet-and-greet queue.

Who it’s wrong for

Almost everyone else. At roughly $95 a head, prepaid in full at booking, it is the most expensive character meal on property and the food does not attempt to justify that. Book it for the room and the occasion, or do not book it.

What is actually good

Prix fixe at $89 per adult, plus tax and gratuity, for a starter, main and dessert. The food is the least remarkable part and everyone knows it — you are paying for the room and the princesses. The price is set per person before you order anything, so a light eater pays the same as a three-course one.

Portions

Three courses at a restrained size. Nobody leaves hungry, but nobody leaves talking about the portions either.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergy handling is good and a chef visits the table as standard. The prix fixe format means substitutions are arranged in advance, not improvised.
