Hi Carolyn!
I can certainly relate to trying to schedule a vacation around the coveted
Cinderella's Royal Table Advanced Dining Reservation. This is my daughter's favorite Disney restaurant and she loves to celebrate her birthday here. Unfortunately you cannot apply a Park Hopper to only one day of your vacation package; it must be applied to each day.
You have a few options, including considering dining at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at Epcot. It's a bit easier to get reservations at this dining location and you can still dine with the princesses, including Belle, Princess Aurora, Ariel and Jasmine.
There is also a brand new princess breakfast at
Trattoria al Forno on the
Boardwalk. You can dine with Rapunzel and Flynn from Tangled and The Little Mermaid characters!
If the girls really have their heart set on Cinderella's Royal Table, keep checking back as your vacation nears and I'm sure you will find a reservation open up. Given that many people make a reservation to "hold" the time, then change some of their plans as their vacation nears, I'm sure a time will become available.
Magically,
Stacy
