When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.

Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
We recently stopped by Cinderella’s Royal Table at Magic Kingdom to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
Now the atmosphere is a major draw for guests to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table. You’re dining inside Cinderella Castle, and it doesn’t get much more “Disney magic” than that. The location is one of the big things (and sometimes one of the only things) that makes this restaurant a must-do.
The views are stunning
You’ll find incredible theming and decor throughout the restaurant, making you really feel like you’re inside a castle. The stone walls are adorned with tapestries and art, while the windows feature gorgeous stained glass. If you look up, you’ll notice opulent chandeliers and even more decor.

This character dining is unique as you’ll meet Cinderella before your meal, with a special meet and greet and photo op before heading up to your table. Don’t worry — there will be plenty more princesses once you’re seated at your table!
Cinderella Meet and Greet
Regarding seating, there are standard tables and chairs here, which are located on various levels and in the various seating spaces within the restaurant. From what we’ve experienced, the tables here can feel a bit squished together sometimes, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Seating
Here’s a look at where we were seated, with a stellar view of Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel. If you can request a table next to the window, it’s definitely worth doing. Those windows will give you some of the most unique views of Magic Kingdom. Of course, Disney might not always be able to accommodate this request, but it never hurts to ask!

But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?!
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served here — and all are served prix fixe, meaning you’ll pay one set price for multiple courses. The price has also increased since the characters returned. We went for dinner, which is now $76 per adult and $47 per child, plus tax and gratuity.
Breakfast Menu
This can be a pretty big chunk of your Disney World dining budget — especially for breakfast. While we’ve had mediocre meals here in the past, what you’re really paying for is the overall experience, atmosphere, and characters.
This is one of those bucket list Disney dining experiences. Still, if you don’t care about character interactions and dining in the castle, this is a pretty steep price to pay when there are some other incredible restaurants nearby.
Your options for breakfast
And now, onto the main event — the food!
First up, every table gets Assorted Breakfast Pasteries. It’s easy to underestimate a basket of little pastries, but this assortment consistently outperforms expectations. While the presentation might suggest a grocery store bakery case, the flavors tell a different story. These items feel more intentional than their appearance lets on. The Mickey-shaped pastry is the most straightforward of the bunch, essentially a moist blueberry muffin top. It isn’t the most exciting option, but the blueberries are generously sized, sweet, and soak beautifully into the surrounding bread, keeping the bite from feeling one-note.
Assorted Breakfast Pasteries
The real standouts are the chocolate twists and the cinnamon rolls. The chocolate twists resemble mini Cheshire Cat tails and deliver a fun, playful bite, while the cinnamon rolls are the true winners of the basket. These lean into a more classic cinnamon roll style than the oversized versions found elsewhere at Disney World, striking an excellent balance between cinnamon swirl and bread. Their smaller size also works in their favor, resulting in a more consistent bake throughout compared to the larger rolls that can sometimes turn out uneven.
The real standouts are the chocolate twists and the cinnamon rolls.
For our vegan-friendly option, we had a bowl of Fresh Fruit to replace the assorted pastries. This was a massive bowl of fruit that included strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and honeydew. While we really appreciated this, we did miss having some sort of pastry on the table that I could have eaten. Part of the fun of a breakfast like this is getting that sugar fix you’re allowed to have first thing in the morning because they call them pastries, right? There was nothing like that on the table for those of us with allergies or special dietary needs.
Fresh Fruit
For our entree, we ordered the Banana-Stuffed French Toast. This is a French Toast stuffed with Bananas with Sweet Cream Cheese, served with Caramel Sauce and Bacon. This dish is very indulgent. Make no mistake — this should be ordered if you’re looking for a rich, decadent start to the day. That said, the execution is excellent. The texture leans closer to bread pudding than traditional French toast, with none of the eggy quality one might expect. The banana is cooked directly into the bread, giving the dish a flavor profile reminiscent of banana pudding or a rum-free Bananas Foster, an effect that’s further enhanced by the accompanying caramel.
Banana-stuffed French Toast
The dish is served with a side of bacon, as it offers a savory counterpoint to cut through all that sweetness. The bacon itself is standard Disney fare, neither notably crisp nor chewy. It won’t be anyone’s favorite element on the plate, but it won’t disappoint either, making it a functional addition to an otherwise very sweet dish.
Banana-stuffed French Toast
For our vegan reporter, we tried the Traditional Plant-based Breakfast. This includes Plant-based Scrambled Eggs with Peppers, Onions, and Spinach served with Impossible® Breakfast Sausage, Potatoes, and Multigrain Bread. These may be the best vegan eggs available at Disney World, and quite possibly among the best encountered anywhere. The typical aftertaste associated with mung bean-based vegan eggs is notably absent here, and the texture achieves a fluffiness that’s hard to pull off in plant-based versions of the dish. Loaded with peppers, onions, and spinach, these eggs were packed with flavor.
Traditional Plant-based Breakfast
The Impossible-brand plant-based sausage patties are a rare find at Disney World, making this dish something of a luxury for plant-based guests. Most locations across the parks rely on the same vegan sausage link, which does double duty as the vegan hot dog at Casey’s Corner.
The patty itself delivers an authentic sausage flavor and texture, closely mimicking traditional breakfast sausage rather than reading as a clear substitute. For plant-based guests who frequently dine at Disney World and regularly encounter the same handful of meat-alternative products, this variation offers a genuinely exciting option.
We loved the sausage patties.
These breakfast potatoes are something special, reminding us of the potatoes served at The Cake Bake Shop. They aren’t heavily herbed, aside from a light green garnish, yet the cooking technique alone delivers outstanding flavor. The potatoes manage to feel packed with flavor without being overtly seasoned.
Even the multigrain bread stands out as a thoughtful addition to the meal. Served as triangles of toast alongside melted vegan butter for dipping, it reads as a clear effort to compensate for the absence of an allergy-friendly pastry basket at the table.
Very filling breakfast.
This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…
You should skip this Disney World spot if…
Hardly anything can top dining in Cinderella Castle — it’s a magical Disney World experience you won’t get anywhere else, but at a price. This time around, the breakfast was thoroughly enjoyable, though it’s still a pretty steep price for eats that can be found elsewhere in the park or nearby (like at Kona Cafe or Steakhouse 71). This particular visit came with an early 8:35 reservation, and perhaps because it made for a slower morning, the servers seemed noticeably more relaxed than during a previous visit with a 9:30-ish reservation a month or so prior.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
The table assignment was also a highlight this time around — a two-top set right in the center of the room overlooking Fantasyland, though that vantage point comes with a small catch: because two-tops are trickier to snag and require a small party, and the bright morning sun made it hard to fully appreciate the magic lighting effect during the wish-granting moment. Cinderella herself hadn’t made her way out yet at the start of the meal, so there was a short wait before she arrived to begin greeting guests. The princesses remain the big draw here, so if a bucket list meal is the goal, Cinderella’s Royal Table could be it. But for those who want the princess experience without the fanfare of the castle, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT is worth considering instead.
Our table placement was incredible
In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more restaurant updates from Disney World and beyond. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
