The fact you can go in the castle is the main attraction to this restaurant.
The food is so lovely, but the price is pricey.
Without the princesses this seemed too expensive for what it is. Hopefully they come back soon. |

We visited 2x for lunch and 1x for breakfast.
Breakfast was truly terrible. Lunch was OK. Kids menu is good but the adults food for what you pay is scandalously bad. The quality is average and the few good things on the menu are not nearly deserving of the cost.
Very good character interaction with the Princesses. They manage to make a room circuit very efficiently without compromising on the time they spend with you. A lovely touch is that boys get a sword and girls get a wand and you get to make a special wish at one point during the meal.
The sad thing is, despite the food quality we will most probably return as DS loved the character interaction and it is one of the only places you can meet Snow White, Ariel, Jasmin etc without a huge queue.
NB- don't expect to see Belle here she is a rare sighting apparently! |

Controversial opinion here, but I don't like it. We ate here for breakfast and dinner and have been once before in 2015. There is nothing "bad" abut it, but it has nothing to justify the 2-dining credit status.
Starting from the beginning, despite being told that it's imperative that you're there nice and early for your reservations at Disney, we couldn't acutally check-in until 5 minutes prior. This ended up translating to "check-in 5 minutes after your reservation because we have a back-log of late comers to process". In the meantime, one person from the party lines up against a wall like it's year 7 school dinners.
Upon being allowed in, you join another queue to have a photograph taken with Cinderella. In 3 trips, we've not had 1 useable photograph. From here you then stand about in a lobby waiting for a CM to call your name so that you can go up and be seated.
Once inside, it's a lottery as to the quality of your experience. I encourage anyone to insist that they not be seated in the centre of the room for 2 reasons- 1) you're on top of other guests. I'm a relatively slim chap, but I couldn't get out of my seat without htting the person behind me. 2), if your kids have their backs towards the windows, the pictures you take will be awful due to the sunlight flooding in.
The actual interaction is fantastic, I won't say a bad word about it, but there's equally good, chaper option at Akershus.
The food is OK, it's not fine dining, but it's a bit above what your mum might make if she's feeling a bit fancy. For the price, I felt a bit hard done by on the portion size.
The kids get a wand or a sword to wave about at one point, but most kids didn't join in as you culd barely hear the speaker system that announced this (or the announcement of the princesses arriving).
Overall, I wil do this again, but only at the behest of my better half. :( |

We went for breakfast at CRT on our first morning in Florida and I am so glad we went!
The kids (well, all of us, actually!) really enjoyed meeting Cinderalla before heading upstairs to eat- I thought my daughter was going to faint with happiness!
There was a bit of a kerfuffle once we arrived at the dining hall as we were a largish party of 11 and they seemed unaware we were all together. NOTE: It is a TOTAL PITA to book for a larger party! We had to coordinate booking as two separate groups and call guest services so our bookings would be 'joined' in order to avoid the confusion we ended up with. And one server was clearly harrassed and a little snappy at this point... however, her colleagues were so lovely they made up for her!
Anyway... once seated we were allocated an absolutely FABULOUS server called Said, he could not have been more attentive. The menus were cute (the choice was also great!) and the children were delighted with their wands and swords, and it was lovely to sit and drink in the marvellous theming and decor after we ordered and were waiting on food. This did not take long, as we had sharing platters of pastries- O.M.G. To DIE for. Our meals followed soon after and there was not one complaint, food was presented beautifully and was of a high quality. Between us we tried every meal offered and all were delicious. Nomnomnom!
The Princesses were so attentive too, as they visited our table, absolutely brilliant- DD was in seventh heaven and still talks about it frequently.
After our meal, Said brought out the glass slipper we'd ordered for my sister to celebrate her 40th birthday, and took pictures for us- he was truly lovely and nothing was too much for him.
We left the Castle full to the gunnels and extremely happy with our experience- we'll probably do it again though there's still lots of restaurants we want to try... and we found it a much better experience than Akershus- food was much more suited to our kids palates at CRT and the ambience was far and away nicer.
Anyway, a big thumbs up from us- CRT definitely gave a healthy shot of Disney magic to the start of our holiday! |

We had a great time it was lovely meeting Cinderella before and getting a photo. The rest of the princesses were also fab. We had dinner and although the food was lovely, I'm not sure it's worth 2 credits on the DDP. I know that you are paying for location too and I am really pleased we have eaten inside the castle, but I don't think we will go back, I think this really was a once in a lifetime experience that now we've eaten there we don't need to again. |

We visited for breakfast mainly because I wanted to go to eat in the castle. We were 4 adults and we all really enjoyed it. The food was good we especially enjoyed the pastries at the start, eldest dd is a vegetarian and enjoyed the healthy option breakfast she chose. The setting was great we had a window table overlooking fantasyland. We were not on the dp and although it is expensive, we felt it was worth it. |

We went for Dinner as a party of 5. 2 Grandparents, 2 parents and one 3yo DD.
We were using the DDP and although we felt the experience and setting was beautiful, the food wasn't amazing and not worth 2 dining credits.
It was smaller than I expected and felt intimate when the princesses made their rounds. Unfortunately Ariel was very rushed and didn't spend much time at our table. The other princesses were lovely. DD ended up getting a kiss from all of the princess and had lipstick marks all over her face (DH was a little jealous).
We will not be going back. It was a novelty to eat inside the castle with the princesses and I am sure it is an experience that DD will not forget, but it's a 'been-there-done-that' thing for us. |

i booked this at 180 days for both me and hubby. after booking an evening slot to "see the fireworks" and then finding out you cant see them while IN the castle i opted for an early breakfast slot before the park opened.
going for a 8.30am breakfast slot half an hour before the park opened was so worth it. we actually felt special going in at 7.50 with only a handful of people in the park.
the photographers were on hand and we got loads of pictures walking upto the castle.
its the first time we had been in the castle. we met cinderella which wasnt as scarey as i was expecting...not having a child can be a bit scary when meeting charactors!
i went to go upstairs and the lady asked if i would like to use the lift. i do walk with a limp but it doesnt cause me any problems so i was a bit annoyed about being asked. i then asked if the lift was anything special to be told it was the ONLY round one...didnt need asking again...in it we went. me being me came out the other end and went...I HAVE ARRIVED... and all the servers curtsied or bowed. i felt wonderful.
was shown to a table at the front of the top tier. we were really pleased with our seats as for a little while we were the only ones here and had a great view looking out to the carosal.
had a selection of pastries with fresh orange juice and two pots of tea. we both decided on the normal fully cooked breakfast and it was actually nice...lol.
all the princesses came to our table, said a couple of words and we both had pictures with them. we also got a wand, sword and two wishing stars. my hubby didnt get the sword bit but we made two children very happy when we gave them away outside.
all in all we loved the experience but we wouldnt do it again. it cost a lot of money.. $116..but felt getting into the park before anyone else more than made up for it. |

Thought I would write a review of 3 adults only dining here. MIL on her first visit to the magic kingdom and a first for all 3 of us here. We all enjoyed the experience. The princesses were all lovely and the service from our waiter excellent. |

Most Amazing night ever! Went here with my mum and my two year old daughter and from the second we walked through the door we were mesmerized. From meeting Cinderella in the lobby to walking up the winding staircase and entering the grand dining room then eating an amazing meal whilst the princesses came to YOU, from start to finish i was in awe. You have not experienced the full disney until you have dined here. And the CM couldnt do more to help and see to any request! |

Didn't book at 180 days so was surprised to get a table for lunch. My daughter totally loved the meet with Cinderella - beautiful pictures taken. The starter was slightly hard but still enjoyable, tasty main meal and gorgeously presented and tasty dessert. Loved the character experiences and my son and daughter loved their wands and swords. Is definitely on my list to return, even though the prices were a lot higher than we normally pay. Just to be inside the castle is a wonderful experience in itself. |

Biggest waste, would definitely not return to this restaurant. Started was not fresh, cheese was brick hard. We felt like we were on a very fast conveyer belt, get them in and out as quick as you can. Really disappointed in this so much it spoilt the surprise package of glass slippers we had presented to our kids whilst having dinner. |

Having spent two weeks on the Disney Dining Plan, this was by far the worst meal we had. We went for 1 o'clock lunch with our DD7 and DS3. The starter was a platter of stale crackers and a peculiar dip and cheese that had obviously been left out some time because it had dried out round the edges. My DH and I both picked the same main, a price of chicken on a bed of salty risotto. It was awful. The cheesecake we had for pudding was ok, but the children's dessert of trio of cones was just fondant. Even my children couldn't eat that much sugar.
The princesses were all lovely, but our server was very abrupt, rushing us all the way and delivering our mains straight after our starter had shown up. I guess this the downside of the tip already having been paid. There was no need for him to be polite and he earned more money if he turned the table quickly. We were in and out in less than an hour. |

We had breakfast here on DDP.
A great experience to see within the castle, food was different to standard breakfast , but was good. Not sure I would have felt the same if we had paid for it - the bill for 4 of us (all counting as adults) would have been over 200 dollars. Overpriced if paying for it, but an excellent table service option on DDP |

We had booked dinner to complete our Princess Day at Cindy's Table.
We had a slight wait outside and then got in and let our little one get her pic with the star of the show (who by the way does not come round the tables).
We went up the spiral staircase (which is pretty narrow) and were shown to our table.
The place was fabulously themed and there was plenty of space at the table for the 3 of us.
We had a starter little one had Grapes and Cheese and we had Two Tomato Basil Soups which was very nice. Our mains, DD had Nuggets although wasn't so keen on mash and sweetcorn. We had Beef Tenderloin, I thought it was absolute beautiful and actually was probably the nicest thing I eat during our stay. Unfortuately with earlier visit to BOG got a bit bagged and left a bit. We finished off with desserts, DD having the Design your Own Ice Cream, wife going for Dessert Trio and me going for the very well presented Clock Strikes Twelve. Was very nice, but again as was getting very full couldn't eat much of it.
During this time the characters came round the tables, some being better than others, although all-round was great. Ariel was really good and very interactive with our little one who was dressed in a Belle Dress.
I probably would do it again, although probably more if we went back as a family and our little one asked to do it, although it is quite pricey, but due to our planned day it had to be done and was so glad we did it.
The kids also get a little gift or two also which is a nice touch. |

Had breakfast here with my DW DS and DD. The two kids were completely spoilt, DD went dressed as Cinderella and had lots of time with the princesses, they really made my DS feel special. As for the food, the steak and eggs is the nicest thing I think I have ever eaten, what with 2 plates of pastries and enough coffee and orange juice to drown in I couldn't move. The staff were great, I chatted to one of them for a while and he said to me 'how could you not be happy working here, its the nicest place on earth and I get to spend 5 days a week here and get paid'. Couldnt agree more. |

We had a wonderful dinner. Service was excellent as was the food. DD 9 was made to feel like a true princess. DD16 and DSD 17 also got into the true spirit of Disney. Was taken downstairs to meet Cinderella. She was lovely and we had some great photos taken. When we went back upstairs the other princesses were coming to our table. Snow White spent the most time,although her fake squeaky voice was a bit of an irritation. Aurora was very nice, as was Belle and Ariel. All in all its a very expensive meal BUT its so worth it. |

We took our two children here one paid and one under three so a free menu.
The selection for the free menu was really good for my son he had plenty of food.
The children choices were really good as well and my and my husband really enjoyed our food.
The que at the beginning to meet cinderella was a little busy and off putting i didn't like that part, however walking up the stairs and being greated was a wonderful experience and all the princess were amazing felt like we had plenty of time with them all.
They were really good with my son who was really shy.
We were seated in the middle so lots of people walking past us all the time but it wasn't off putting only down point for me was a drip of water that kept falling on me but for the life of us we couldn't figure out where it was coming from lol |

An amazing breakfast experience for my two girls. We had no wait to check in. Food was good, service was excellent. Princess interaction was very good. I was thinking I doubt I'd pay for it as we used the dining plan but I would do just for the experience of eating at the castle. Would do again although maybe next time lunch or dinner. |

I ate here for my 21st birthday towards the end of my holiday an was expecting great things. We were suitabilty disappointed and it felt very 'unDisney'. The characters were fantastic in the castle although Cinderella herself looked very bored. We waited 40 minutes after checking in to be given our table which I was not impressed with. The free bread was the only saviour for the meal as it was warm and there was a lot of it! The actual food was dire- my starter (shrimp coctail) was inedible. The main course was average (Stuffed chicken) although it was apparent it had either been frozen or made some time in advance and the bed of leeks it was served on were rock hard. Finally, I had the dessert trio which was so small it beggered belief and the desserts were not very nice. Our waitor was extremely rude and gave my partner 2 refills but ignored me even though my glass had been empty for quite some time. He said two words "hello and bye" to us. We had to wait for Belle to come to our table and this meant that my partner had to eat his dessert REALLY slowly so we wouldn't get asked to leave as they were rushing people in and out constantly. Overall, I am glad I ate here but would never do it again. |

I had booked my dd (5) into the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, followed by Cinderella's Royal Table - so she had an amazing time and really felt like a princess. All of the princesses came to our table and made a real fuss of her, especially Snow White as dd was wearing a Snow White costume. My SIL was also with us - we all got a magic wand and had to wave it in the air at one point and make a wish. DD really enjoyed the dessert - a decorate your own cupcake thingy. Both myself and SIL really enjoyed the food, it was surprisingly good (I hadn't expected much as I thought it would be more about 'the experience'). We were on the dining plan, so didn't have to worry about the cost, but it would definitely be worth doing once even if you are not on the dining plan if you have a little princess in your family!
Service was excellent and attentive even though the tip was already included in the cost of the meal. We also got some really lovely photos to take home with us. |

id kept this a secret from my wife and daughter as was taking them here to celebrate my wifes birthday. I was really dissapointed, the setting was great and i know that is what you are paying for however the quality of food was poor & when asked if my daughter had finished her main course before my wife could say no all 3 deserts were sitting in front of us. On the plus side the characters were excellant with my daughter. Overall dissapointed and would not go back. |

We booked this as a treat for the kids and they really enjoyed the character interaction.
I had a starter of soup and it was lovely. The main meal was pulled pork and veg and it was delicious although a bit too much meat.
Everyone finished their meals and we tucked into the 3 desert puddings; well presented and nice.
We might have been in there a bit long as we were still sitting at the table when snow white came to our table for a second time, but she remembered and commented that we must be having a lovely time.
It was a great way to meet the characters and get pictures whilst breaking the day up

Really don't want to write this but so sorry ...
Didn't like this at all, the food was plain awful (had the pulled pork and green beans), the kids had the usual offerings...the deserts were ok.
Very very rushed, so much so that they brought out our main course while we were still eating the megre offerings of our starter (cheese and grapes).
The character interaction was extremely rushed, I felt that we were on a conveyor belt.
My son was sick in the toilets (heat got to him), and I was made to feel really awkward when asking for a glass of water for him...
To top it all I had pre-ordered and paid for a chocolate slipper for Emma's 7th b'day, they brought out a huge cupcake... she was happy with that, but I wasn't it took them 20 mins to find her slipper! (think they may have given it to someone else! ).
Anyway the moment had passed and Emma was really shocked and couldn't understand why she had another birthday cake! although the chocolate slipper was yummy.
Wouldn't go back again, the place was also dirty. |

We ate our breakfast here on our most recent trip. My 2 year old dd loved it the characters were really attentive with her and she seemed to enjoy her food though she is a picky madam. I however did not rate the food you have to pick one entree and i picked the cheese stuffed french toast which was too sickly the staff were great though and did offer me something else. I would say overall lovely experience for the kids and we will go again but we don't expect much from the food. |

We ate here on our last night of our holiday using 2 credits from the DDP. The location is obviously very nice and my 3 yr old daughter (who was dressed as Snow White) loved meeting Cinderella before we were seated. Then, to be honest, I was a little disappointed. The waiter was polite enough but we were so rushed. I ordered the salad as a starter and when it came out it had nuts on it. I don't remember seeing this on the menu but it could have been my fault. Then they bought the mains out before clearing the starters. The main's were nice, I had the pork chops and my wife had the beef. As everyone finished eating, they would come up and take your plate before others had finished, which really annoys me and in my previous job as a waiter I was taught never to do. Then they brought out the deserts straight away before the table was cleared (again). The desert was described as a creme brulee, which whenever I have had it before has a warm, crispy sugary coating. This was more of a creme caramel, cold and not very nice. Then the bill came before we had finished that. Don't get me wrong, I normally like to eat quickly and not hang about but for the such a high class place, the service was lacking.
I don't think we would eat there again, we had a much nicer experience in 1900 Park Fayre(sp!) at the Grand Floridian

This was our 6th trip to WDW and our first visit to Cinderellas Royal Table. I booked breakfast because I wanted to see all of the princesses and not the fairy godmother and prince etc which I think they do at lunch.
We arrived at Magic Kingdom before it was open and walked down mainstreet which was just magical in itself with no-one else around. We got some great pictures of the castle with no-one in the background. We then went to the castle to check in for breakfast. A cast member 'announced' the Measor Family and we went into the castle where we had our picture taken with Cinderella. She was great with DD and we didn't feel rushed at all. The castle itself is wonderful inside, what we saw of it. We were then taken to our table in a fairly small restaurant but it really did feel magical. We ordered our breakfast but, to be honest, we didn't really enjoy it. The cinnamon buns and pastries at the beginning of the meal were delicious, but the cooked breakfast was cold. I should have complained but we were too busy enjoying the other princesses that came out and I didn't want to spoil it.
We saw Aurora, Ariel, Snow White and Belle - in addition to Cinderella who we saw in the lobby.
In summary, the castle is magical and it is great to eat in here. The princess interaction was wonderful too. But the breakfast wasn't that good.
We would do this again, but maybe choose lunch or dinner. |

We ate here for the first time this year for lunch after the BBB and the pirates league. The castle is beautiful and we really enjoyed the character interaction here. The food was nice too if just a little on the small side. The only negative would be the server who did try and rush us. She came 3 times to see if ds had finished his meal and bought the dessert anyway...as the tip is included I suppose it doesnt matter to them what you think.
We (I) would still go again though as it was as magical for me as it was for the kids! |

We ate here on our last night and we were so glad that we did. I was a liitle unsure what my 2 boys would think but they enjoyed eating in the castle and loved meeting all the princesses. We received 2 photo's as we were a family of 5. We had a lovely table near the window, our server was very attentive and extremly helpful. I think that the menu had just changed when we went, the food was very good, better than i was expecting. We were on the dining plan so used 2 credits for our meal otherwise it would've been an expensive dinner for us. It was a lovely experience eating in the castle which we all loved, it really felt special. |

Overall a fantastic experience and something you need to do at least once. Was it value for money? - not sure to be honest but as said do it at least once. The characters were fantastic, early entry for the breakfast was a great experience in itself and probably worth the money just for this. The food range and quality was OK but on the down side we were very disappointed in our server for the day. She could hardly speak English and made the whole experience very confusing. Not what I would expect when paying so much for what should be a top notch experience. To top it off our server forgot to give both son and eldest daughter their included wands and sword which was a big downer and made them felt left out. In the end I had to approach another server and ask for their help. Overall a nice to do experience but be mindful of the server you get as this can impact on the breakfast experience you may have. If I'd been paying on the day (you have to prepay this one up front when you book your ADR) I'd have not left a tip or said please learn to speak English and learn to what and listen to the people you are ment to be serving. |

Cant beat the location shame about the rest of the experience , expensive for what you get but you cannot put a price on your little ones face as the enter the castle to have breakfast with the princesses.
I would pick the Princess Storybook Breakfast over CRT any day as CRT sometimes is like one giant conveyer belt and always feels rushed.
The restaurant could do with a refurb in my humble opinion.
TIP : Go for an early Breakfast before park opening and get some wonderful photos of an empty Main Street and if you are early enough you might be invited to be honorary Prince or Princesses for the day. My daughters were lucky to be honorary princesses for the day and were awarded with extra time with Cinderella. |

We ate dinner here on the 12th of October after the bbb with my daughter. Staff were lovley. You have your photo taken with Cinders downstairs. All the staff were fantastic, very friendly. Decor is lovley. Food was ok, however the air conditioning was on very high and i was very cold. It was 94 degrees at the time outside. My steak became very cold very quickly. When i asked the waitress why it was so clod, she said, its always like that. The fairy godmother appears with two of the mice who help cinderella make her dress, she was fantastic, interacting and singing. We were sat in the middle of the place which was great for all the action. My daughter loved it. shes 10. iTS TWO DINING SERVICE CREDITS. Remember that when you book. I would go again, the staff were great, tip is included in the dining plan too. Take a wee cardigan. Ask for your food to be re heated if you need to. you werent rushed. But book if you can when the fireworks are on. |

What an amazing experience this was! We were treated like absolute royalty! On arrival, we had our inclusive photo with Cinderella taken, and we were taken up to the restaurant not long after our ADR time. We were seated in one of the window seats, and the view was breathtaking. Our food was fantastic. DFi didn't like any of the appetizers so the waitress brought him chicken noodle soup, we both had the prime rib for main, which was cooked to perfection, and the chocolate buckle for dessert was great. When we left, our waitress brought us 2 champagne flutes to celebrate our engagement earlier in the trip, which was a lovely touch.
My only negative, because of the seats we had, was that during Wishes, a lot of children came over and stood right at our table to see out of the window. I wouldn't have minded but our mains had just arrived and they kept falling on top of us, but that is nothing to do with the restaurant, and I asked them nicely to give us some space and they did, so no harm done! |

Oh my what can I say! I booked lunch for me and my DD and we both loved it. My DD had her photo taken with Cinderella on entering the castle. We were seated at a window seat with a view of the carousel. Our food was delicious and my DD loved the chocolate muffin desert. The wand and wishing star were a nice touch. Our photo was delivered to our table. the princesses came out one at a time and spent time at each table and plenty of opportunity for photo's and autographs. The look on my DD's face will stay with me for ever - we both had a perfect time. Guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye. |

The atmosphere is amazing but not keen on the characters, think they were the least friendly charaters we came across, especially Cinderella when we got our photo taken. The food, however, was excellent as was the service. We went for breakfast. Its definately worth the experience of dining in the castle. |

Clean and right in the centre of the park you couldn't get a better place to eat.
Setting unbelievable and the walk into the castle we will never forget.
Breakfast was ok, but not a buffet it was brought out by a waitress who wasn't overly happy (strange for Disney) when we asked for more (DH was starving).
Photo ops and characters walking around was fun |

We decided to go for dinner here just to try it for ourselves. We had read mixed reviews but were pleasently surprised. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would definitely eat there again. Great entertainment and we were lucky enough to be seated by one of the windows. |

We have had both breakfast and dinner here and much preferred breakfast. Simply down to the food - the dinner was small and definately not worth the money, unlike breakfast.
The added bonus of having an early breakfast reservation is you are allowed into an empty park which gets yo usome great photos!
The theming of both the lobby and the restaurant is SUPERB, as was the character interaction. The pirncess's grand entrance could have been a bit more "grand" though LOL. We were seated by the windo which was just amazing - perfect. And the table settings were also fab. And i was even given a sword, even though i am not a child! ..i had a nice conversation with the host and told her i was very flattered she thought i looked under 12!
Have booked breakfast for our upcoming tip again on the DDP. - would not reccommend lunch or dinner if you arent on the free DDP though. |

A great one for the kids (obviously). I was impressed with the whole ambience, and the food was good. Overall, I felt the same about this restaurant as I do about Magic Kingdom in general - one for the kids but great just to be there and enjoy the atmosphere, the characters etc. |

We had a lunch reservation for Christmas Day and were very impressed. We had to wait for our table though which is my only criticism. The food was fantastic, I had shredded beef in a pastry parcel and the best chocolate/cheesecake/ice cream pudding thing I have ever tasted. Our server was lovely, she had been getting grief from some grumpy so and sos (on christmas day of all days! ) so was happy to see some jolly brits. She brought us extra pudding to go as we said we liked it so much, and gave the kids fast pass vouchers for any ride they wanted, she really couldn't have done any more for us. We saw Belle, Jasmine, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. They came over to the table to chat to us, even my DS6 had a chat with Jasmine and he had been pretending to be unimpressed with the whole thing!
If you have young children, especially girls they will love it, the kids got a sword/wand each and a wishing star to make a wish halfway through the meal. It wasn't cheap and I don't think I will go every time, but am so glad we went, especially on christmas day as it made it more magical! |

Been here twice now and planning to return this year. Took DD & DN after they'd been to BBB. Love the lunch menu and character interaction. Great for little princesses even if it is slightly more expensive |

We had a 10.20am ADR for this but it took 30 mins of queueing just to meet Cinderella which was not the best of starts. Nevertheless, we had a lovely table overlooking the rest of the dining room and our server was very good, as was the food. I particularly liked the blueberry creamy pancake things (sorry!) which were divine!
DD met Belle, Snow White, Mary Poppins and the Fairy Godmother.
I would eat here again rather than Princess Storybook Dining as it felt more special. |

Definately a fairy tale breakfast, a bit manic at the beginning trying to get a photo with Cinderella but from then on pure Disney Magic. A must. |

The food was very poor for the money. Setting and character interactions were amazing, my 3year old daughter had the biggest smile on her face! I suppose that's what your paying for so don't let the food put you off. The experience overall for a little girl was priceless. |

Were lucky to get ADR for the breakfast. We all loved it and our 2DD's were in total amazement. Then again, so was my mum, my DH and myself. Food was enjoyable and the servers couldn't have been more helpful. This was truly a wonderful experience. One that I would def book again. |

We managed to get ADR here for lunch, my daughter, 4 was so thrilled to get to meet Cinderella. She visited the Bibbidi Bobbidi boutique before our reservation and dressed up as tinkerbell. Lots of little girls were dressed up there. Queued for about 10 mins to have the official photo taken with Cinderella herself then went upstairs to be seated. Boys get a sword and girls get a wand. The starter wasn't that impressive, a few dim sum types things with some sort of dipping sauce drizzled over the plate. On our servers recommendation we chose teh pie for main and it was delicious, more than made up for the poor starter. Dessert was bluberry cobbler with lemon ice cream, very nice again. The children had a choice of main and got a bowl of ice cream with a chocolate crown on top and mickey mouse sweet flakes. Package includes a lovely photo with cinderella in a presentation frame. Don't forget you don't need to tip! Highly recommend, we will go back. |

Very disappointed! We went there for breakfast and felt rushed, food was nothing special, princesses were out for about ten minutes and the whole experience was disappointing. We saw belle, snow white, fairy godmother and sleeping beauty - thought belle would be in her gold dress but she was in blue (again!). The novelty of visiting the castle for breakfast wore off fast and we won't be going back again. It was a shame because we were really looking forward to it. :-(. |

We were lucky enough to get a ADR. Loved it, loved it, loved it and so did DD4 (lol). Was the highlight of our holiday. We had breaskfast and enjoyed the food and the service. When DD met the Princesses they were all fab, escpecially Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Mary Poppins they were just so lovely to her she was in awe - memories to treasure! |

had breakfast here, average food offerings, nothing special although the kids adore meeting the princesses in such a great location. for the experience I think it's great to do once, but for the actual dining there are better places in my opinion |
