Hi, Rachel! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm so excited to hear that you're thinking about booking a breakfast reservation at
Cinderella's Royal Table! Dining with the
Disney Princesses inside Cinderella Castle is one of those special, uniquely Disney experiences that every
Walt Disney World Resort Guest should experience at least once. You'll want to be sure that everyone in your party has both a valid
ticket and a
theme park reservation for
Magic Kingdom Park on the day of your Cinderella's Royal Table dining reservation. Once that is all squared away, I'm happy to tell you that you'll have no problem entering the park in plenty of time to make it to your breakfast reservation.
Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel are able to take advantage of
early theme park entry every day, so if you are staying at one of these resorts, you will be able to enter the park 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled opening time. If you are not staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you would not be granted access to
attractions during early theme park entry, however, you will still be allowed to enter the park if you have an early dining reservation.
When you approach the Magic Kingdom Park gates, you can ask a Cast Member where you should enter for your breakfast reservation. Many times, all Guests, regardless of where they are staying, will be able to scan into the park ahead of the scheduled opening time. If this is the case, Cast Members will be stationed at the various paths near Cinderella Castle that lead to the attractions. Disney Resorts Collection Guests will be permitted to head to the attractions 30 minutes before the park opens, while other Guests must remain in the castle hub area. You can show your breakfast reservation confirmation to a Cast Member near the path to Cinderella Castle, and they will let you through to the restaurant in time to arrive for your reservation.
Rachel, I hope you enjoy dining in regal splendor at Cinderella's Royal Table. I highly recommend the Caramel Apple-stuffed French Toast. It's one of my favorite breakfast dishes! If you have any other questions about making your breakfast reservations or any other aspect of your vacation planning, please stop by and visit us again at planDisney. We would love to help!
Have a magical day!
Samantha
