Allow a minimum of an hour and a half. CRT is always "sold out" and meeting Cinderella in the lobby, taking professional photos, and finally being called to your table can take 30+ minutes. Then you need to eat and see all of the Princesses, during their set rotation.
Dinner is anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2 hours so check the time's guide before booking and time your meal. Fireworks at Magic Kingdom tend to fall at 8 pm in the winter and 9 pm in the summer.
Breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table typically lasts approximately 90 minutes, but is never rushed.
I would recommend around 5pm, therefore you can enjoy the light show afterwards. The meal is awarding, excellant, excellant, excellant. You will be treated like royalty. Enjoy your trip and meal at Cinderella's Castle!
The castle has an archway that you can walk through from one side to another, and I would highly recommend doing so. You'll be able to see some gorgeous mosaics that show special scenes from Cinderella's story. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to tour the castle in its entirety.
Dinner Adult Price $79 plus tax and gratuity; Children ages 3-9 is $47 plus tax and gratuity. A standard, non-alcoholic beverage is included in this price. Allergy-Friendly menus available upon request. Check the Plant-based section for more options in each category.
Breakfast with the Princesses is now priced at $65 for adults and $39 per child, previously $45 and $29. Pricing before COVID and with characters was $62 and $37. Lunch and Dinner with the Princesses are now priced at $79 for adults and $47 per child, previously $67 and $39.
Cinderella Meet and Greet
Before you head to the dining room, guests have a chance to meet Cinderella. PhotoPass photographers are present.
Meals at Cinderella's Royal Table are prepaid at the time of your reservation. So if you're booking in advance, you have to pay when you reserve.
But remember, a dining reservation doesn't guarantee entry into the park. So you'll need reservations for both the restaurant and Magic Kingdom (a valid ticket or annual pass will do).
Plan at least 35 minutes to get your food and eat. DO go to Enchanted Tales with Belle right after dining to extend the special experience.
To dine at an in-park table-service restaurant, you need a confirmed dining reservation for the total number of Guests—regardless of age, plus a theme park reservation and valid admission for the same park on that same date for each Guest ages 3 and up.
As for pre-paid experiences, such as Cinderella's Royal Table, taxes and a gratuity of 18% will be charged upfront.
At 6:30 each evening, Cinderella Castle is transformed into a sparkling wonder. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Cinderella and her prince and Fairy Godmother work their magic to bring thousands of twinkling lights to life.
Eat at Unpopular Times
Most folks eat at prime hours: 8AM for breakfast, Noon for lunch, 6PM for dinner, or thereabouts. If you're eating breakfast at 10:30AM, lunch at 3:00PM, and dinner at 8:00PM, you're more likely to get a reservation, and you're more likely to be able to eat without feeling rushed or crowded.
At Breakfast Ariel, Cinderella , Princess Aurora, Snow White. At Lunch Cinderella , Princess Jasmine, Snow White. At Dinner Cinderella , Princess Jasmine, Snow White.
Kids can choose an entree from Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Pan-seared Chicken Breast, or House-made Macaroni & Cheese with a choice of two sides including kid-friendly options like French Fries, Green Beans, and more.
During breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the princesses do not meet and greet with guests at their tables as they used to. Instead, for breakfast, just as we've seen during lunch and dinner, only Cinderella appears very briefly in the restaurant.
They look out over the backside of Cinderella Castle — meaning you're going to get a unique view of the fireworks shooting off for the show.
Is Tip Included at Cinderella's Royal Table? Yes! The tip is included in the total you'll pay per person.
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.
Magic Kingdom Fireworks are at 9pm on most nights. If there is a special event like Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party the fireworks may be earlier, or may not be scheduled for regular guests visiting that day.
As you might expect, the character meals aren't flush with alcohol options. Cinderella's Royal Table has a pretty good—but often expensive—wine/sparkling wine selection and limited beer. Crystal Palace is limited on all fronts.
As of Jun 9, 2023, the average annual pay for a Disney Princess in the United States is $125,813 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $60.49 an hour.
