Hello Patricia!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I am delighted to answer your first question, especially because it is about one of the most enchanting and magical experiences at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Cinderella’s Royal Table is my little girl’s favorite restaurant, and we have made so many beautiful memories celebrating special occasions with the wonderful Disney Princesses that we just keep going back.
When you make a reservation at this signature dining location, you need to pay in advance using a credit card or using dining plan credits. Since at the time of booking you did not have a dining plan already, then you had to use your credit card. Do not worry, because you can still use your Disney Dining Plan entitlements to pay for your royal feast.
When you arrive at the restaurant, please inform the Cast Member that you would like to use dining plan entitlements, but that you have already paid with your credit card. You can also talk to your server, and they will be happy to cancel your credit card payment and redeem the credits from your dining plan.
Please note that it will take some days for your refund to be processed and you also have to keep in mind that the refund will appear on your credit card statement on after one or two billing cycles.
It has been a pleasure answering your question. Please stop by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with more questions.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
