ADVICE FROM AN EXPERT ON HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE CINDERELLA’S ROYAL TABLE

Our expert is Katie! Before sharing her advice, here is a brief presentation of her and her family!

My name is Katie and I have a soon to be 4 year old princess, Cameron. I spend most of my days with my daughter, racing around to various activities and enjoying life in Charleston! I also work as a full time real estate agent and a full time travel advisor. In my spare time, I share our adventures on another account: @chsworkingmoms. I’m not one who enjoys sitting still much which leads to my busy and fulfilling schedule.  

To get a Disney quote, you can contact me straight on Instagram at @momapprovedtravel.katieo or by filling in the form here. I am here to make your dream come true, you enjoy the fun and magic and I’ll handle all the booking and planning!

Dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table is one of Disney World's most coveted experiences. What are your tips to secure a reservation? How much time ahead should a table be booked?

First, always suggest booking your entire trip as far in advance as you are able pending availability at Disney.

Then, at the 60 day mark, your opportunity to book dining opens up bright and early in the morning, at 5:45 am EST. This is where it’s really great to have a Travel Advisor in your corner. Whilst you rest and get your beauty sleep, I’ll secure the reservations. It requires quite a bit of skill and a bit of luck, at times, to snatch up all of your wishes but I have a few tricks up my sleeve!

Plan B is stalking the Disney app to book last minute trips.

Families staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel have a great advantage as they can book 60 days in advance of check-in day for their entire stay, up to 10 days! That’s one of the safest way to ensure reservations.

Can you walk us through the experience please?

The entrance is on the backside of the spectacular Cinderella castle near Sir Mickey's boutique. You will first be asked to check in at the outdoor podium and will then be escorted inside. You will immediately meet Cinderella or at least in most of the cases straight in the grand hall.

Once your name is read, you will be invited to walk up the winding stone staircase to the royal banquet dining room. Decorated with plush tapestries rich velvet, medieval style lamps reflecting the light through the stained-glass windows, the setting is truly royal. 

During your meal, you’ll enjoy additional Princess meetings, opportunities for pictures and autographs. The entire experience is truly magical. Keep your eye out in the castle and see if you can find Jacques & Gus Gus!

What is the food like?

 There are menus for Adults & Kiddos and several options for those with allergies too. 

You can find the whole menu here.

It’s a table service meal so food will be brought directly to you.

Do you recommend going for lunch, dinner or breakfast?

We recommend going for a late dinner. Try and get an 8 or 8:30 pm dinner reservation to be inside the castle for fireworks. Fun little fact, the fireworks on display actually go off behind the castle and you are able to view them from the glass windows. Once they begin, the princesses will bring the princes and princesses over to the windows to sit and watch the fireworks together with music in the background too It doesn’t get more magical than that! 

Where is the best place to sit in the dining room?

There truly isn’t a bad seat because each Princess will come to your table but if I had to choose - sitting at the glass windows is very nice. You can even  see the carousel!

How long does the meal take?

This will vary depending on each group’s eating style. The  food will never hold up your time. The waiters move the appetizers, meals and desserts efficiently and adapt to your pace. So relax and enjoy!

 We recommend an hour to an hour & a half of time when planning the rest of our day. If you are there during fireworks and you finished your meal 5 minutes after the fireworks begin, you will not be allowed to leave until after the fireworks end. (I suggest this as a good time to grab a nice glass of champagne to end the night.)

What’s the best place for taking pictures during the experience?

The princesses will come directly to your table for photos. They tend to just work around your crew. I always get up from the table to take the photos and they’ve all come out well no matter where we are seated.

Which characters do you get to meet?

Cinderella of course!!! Then upstairs it can vary over the years but most recently with some other character meet & greets changes, we’ve met Jasmine, Ariel, Merida & Aurora.

What type of souvenirs do you get?

Each child is given a wishing star and invited make a wish! The princesses can help your little princess pick her wish! It's the sweetest thing!

Royals guests are also gifted a magic wand or sword to take home! You will also be given a postcard with each of the princesses' autograph! 

INTERESTING FACTS ON THE POSITIVE IMPACTS OF DISNEY ON CHILDHOOD PSYCHOLOGY

Disney has touched the hearts and minds of children worldwide ever since its creation. Its captivating power never fades. The smiles, pure joy and excitement of little ones as they visit Disney world is timeless.

Beyond the fun of it all, the fascination for Disney characters is a way for children to learn to identify themselves. By creating a close bond with their favorite heroes, little ones will embrace their values and qualities : bravery, love, kindness. They will have a role model to look up to and imitate.

Dressing up will also encourage role play which is an excellent way for children to gain self-confidence and to learn to express themselves. Whilst it may seem as an escape to a fantasy world, it’s also a way to encourage the pursuit of dreams.
