the waiting lobby, some princesses not very happy
|
|
Very mixed review here. We checked in, and were taken to get the photo in a timely manner. but after that, we were JAMMED into that tiny, dark lobby for twenty minutes waiting to be called up. Cinderella did not seem very happy to be there, her smile and cheer seemed forced. The dining room is nice, our server was polite and efficient, if not very cheerful. Some of the princesses seemed harried and not particularly happy to be there. But all came around in a short time. The food was better than expected. we both had the beef short rib. They need more/better options for kids though. Their food wasn't very good and my son would not touch his at all. We knew the 2 table credits was for eating in the castle, but the adult entrees turned out to be good. the pumpkin cheesecake was very good, the flourless chocolate cake was so sweet and rich it is pretty much fudge.

We ate here in October for lunch and the food was much better than I expected based on reviews on this site and elsewhere. The portions were not oversized like at so many Disney restaurants. We had a lovely table with the perfect view of Fantasyland. The princesses came quickly and were very good with my toddler. In October, we had Ariel, Jasmine, Aurora and Rapunzel. (We had different princesses in December.) I paid for it out of pocket, I don't like the meal plans, and I like getting the picture.

The Good stuff - the food was pretty good, the wait staff was attentive. The NOT SO GOOD - getting in here is really a hassle - podium check in folks rather rude if you get there too early. The photo session with Cinderella is long and drawn out...Dining room is fun to see, but since it's a character meal, it's a kid magnet (we were a party of 6 adults). All the princesses did stop by our table, and we did take photos. Since this is Magic Kingdom, no alcohol is served, even with a very expensive tenderloin. Just isn't the same with s Pepsi! Certainly not worth 2 TS credits on the Dining Plan.

Our party of 8 (four daughters, ages 9, 5, 2, and 4 months; my husband and myself; and my parents) ate here for lunch on Dec. 14. It was absolutely the highlight of my trip. While most character meals are fun but chaotic and busy, this one somehow managed to feel relaxed and quiet(er). We met Cinderella in the lobby, and they were very helpful in working with me to get a photo of Cinderella with all four of my girls. We met Aurora, Ariel, Snow White, and Jasmine while dining. The food was wonderful, the service was attentive but not obtrusive, and of course, the best part is meeting all the princesses.
We also dined at the Akershus Storybook Dining in Epcot. That was also a great meal, but in my opinion, definitely NOT a replacement for Cinderella's Royal Table! You just can't compare to actually going up in Cinderella's castle.
A note--we filmed our daughters ascending and descending the staircase in the castle. priceless!

This was our 2nd trip to Cinderella's Royal Table. We decided to eat here again after my 6 year old begged us to go back. We enjoyed our food. I had the snapper and my husband had the short ribs. Both dishes were delicious. However, I do not feel it is worth the price-thank goodness for the free dining plan!

We have eaten here in years past and were not really impressed; however, we ate here on Nov. 2nd and it was so much better! The pictures with Cinderella were super and we enjoyed meeting the 3 princesses. They moved a little quicker through our table than I would have liked, but our daughter didn't seem to notice. The food was delicious! From the salad to the dessert we were very pleased. Good service and we did not feel rushed at all. Used 2 credits on our dining plan and it was well worth it!

We recently had lunch at Cinderella's castle to celebrate my sister's retirement from teaching. It was just us 2 princesses. We had an ADR for 1:05 and were taken in for our photo with Cinderella right away, then we had to wait to be called upstairs. The room downstairs gets very crowded and loud and it is hard to hear them call your name but we heard our name and we told to go upstairs. We were taken to our table right way, we had a window table which was very nice.
Our server, Carl, came right over to get our beverage order. The menu is limited and the choices are unusual. We chose the short ribs which were very good. We had a choice of salad or soup, we choose salad, which was greens, some cheese and walnuts. We had barely gotten our salads when our entrees were brought out (not by our server). The gentlemen put our entrees own and whisked away our salads without us finishing them. The short ribs were served over mashed potatoes and parsnips. It was good. Then dessert came out quickly but we were able to finish our meal.Dessert was ok, the flourless chocolate cake was thick and dry, nothing great. My sister had the pumpkin cheesecake which was very good.
The princesses came around to all the tables, including ours which was very nice. We saw Snow White, Ariel, Aurora and Belle.
All in all, it was a nice experience. Our waiter Carl was excellent, he even gave us each a wand and when we asked for a third (for 3 princess nieces at home) he got us a third one. It would have been nice to not be so rushed, especially since this experience is quite expensive and uses 2 table service options per person. They were rushing everyone, the table next to us who sat down after us really got rushed and they had children with them. It's a great place to experience but they need to give you time to enjoy it and maybe not book so many reservations. Quality is better than quantity in my book, it shouldn't be about how many people you can rush thru the restaurant in a day. We are not cattle.

Took grandkids for their first trip - granddaughter 6.5 did BBB first - she was Belle. Waited about 20 min after picture with Cinderella to be called. Waiter was very good - kept things moving - saw all the Princesses fairly quickly - all enjoyed their meal. I had the ribs - very good. It is a pretty restaurant plus you are in the castle!

After my son proposed to Cinderella, she declined due to Prince Charming asking first; things only went better. Here to Celebrate Triplets 17th birthday. Food excellent, salad or vegetable soup Grilled Swordfish, Grilled Chicken Pasta (well received by the picky eaters) flourless chocolate cake for Mom. I had pre-ordered the Cinderella Slipper Dessert in white chocolate & 2 crowns desserts one white one dark for the boys all were a big hit & well received. Very easy to order via email. Waiter Andrew very attentive. Princess spent plenty of time and the interaction was amazing. Would definitely go again and my son gave compliments to the chef!!!

After coming to Disney World annually for over 20 years, this June 2012 was our first time to eat here. We had lunch. We didn't know what to expect as we were 2 adults with no children, but we really wanted to finally eat in the castle. We were not disappointed. We had a table for two by the window in the center of the room. The view of Fantasyland construction and the carousel were awesome. All the princesses took our time with us even though there were not children at our table. We kidded with Snow White that we left our "dwarfs" at home this time. The meal was very good. We had the Major Domo short rib and salad. I had the chocolate dessert and hubby had the cheesecake. Food was good, but not outstanding. It was a great way to start our vacation at WDW. We even took a picture of the castle outside and zoomed in to the window of where we were setting. We probably won't go here again for a while, but it was a wonderful memory.

One of our least favorite meals during our trip. I had the salad with tuna and my daughter had the "fried" chicken. Neither one of us cared for our meal at all. Princesses were wonderful and our service was good.

We had lunch here on Sunday, May 20, 2012 and got a window table right in the center of the dining room. We had a nice view of the carousel. The photo shoot with Cinderella was cute and she was so sweet even though we were two adults without any children. The picture came out very cute. The food was wonderful! The appetizer was a choice of a salad or beef vegetable soup. I had the soup and my niece had the salad and both were very good. For entrees, we had the fried chicken and the catch of the day which was tilapia that day. Bothe were very good and the chicken was more roasted than fried. We had the almond cheesecake and chocolate mousse for dessert and both were delicious. If I can get reservations again, I would definitely eat here again, not only for the food, but for the opportunity to eat in the castle. All of the princesses took time to come to each table and talk to the guests and take as many pictures as they wanted. They were all so cute and the children loved it! (Belle, Snow White, Jasmine, and Aurora were there when we dined.)

Lunch in the castle is the ultimate in Disney dining. You can't beat the excitement of meeting Cinderella and entering the castle! We began by meeting Cinderella and having a photo taken before being given our invitation to go upstairs. We have two girls, and although at age 10 one is considered a Disney adult, our server still brought both girls a wand and wishing star. She also offered substitutions for appetizers, which was nice. We had a seat by the window so we had a good view of the park.
The princesses visited our table and spent time with the girls. The only downside was that the PA system was a little hard to hear, but there were stories announcing each of the princesses. Definitely a must for Cinderella fans!

Food was good, however service was incredibly slow. All other tables around us who were seated prior to us were long gone with new people before we got our check. Had to hunt the waiter down for everything. I guess since gratuity is included the waitstaff does not feel they need to be efficent.

Attended Cinderella's Royal Table for late lunch with my mother, DD8, and DD4. DD4 had just been to the BBB across the way and was all dolled up. I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. We waited about 10 minutes for a picture with Cinderella then were sent right up to eat. Was pleased to see beef tenderloin as an option for the kids, not just the standard pizza and nuggets. I had the short ribs and they were very good. My mother enjoyed her fish as well. The princesses were all very nice and made and effort to engage my girls rather than just pose and walk away. They all did come in quick succession. We saw all 4 within about 20 minutes. However, that wasn't a problem because we could then enjoy the rest of our dinner and dessert without interuption. The almond cheesecake was wonderful. My only complaint is with the children's dessert option of a cupcake. My DD4 loved the decorate your own option but what was Disney thinking serving a huge cupcake with loads of bright green icing to little girls all dressed up in princess gowns? The waiter was nice enough to bring lots of wet napkins.
