Hi Francine! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
It sounds like you are really in for a great time at the Walt Disney World Resort. Celebrating a birthday and a First Visit sounds like a dream come true!
Cinderella’s Royal Table is a really magical place for any occasion. It is one of the more popular dining locations especially in Magic Kingdom. Because of that it does tend to book up fairly quickly. However, what I have found is that as your vacation approaches, reservations may open up (though there is no guarantee.) As people’s vacations inch closer, plans change and some cancel reservations.
If you are really hoping for that perfect dining reservation, remember to be flexible! Cinderella’s Royal Table serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner so be sure to look at all times of the day. Also be sure to check for reservations often. Sometimes I check in the morning and at night.
Lastly I would also consider making a reservation for another restaurant just in case you are not able to get one for Cinderella’s Royal Table. One of our favorite Princess dining experiences is at
Akershus. We love to dine here for breakfast for Storybook Dining. I have personally found this location to be more personable and less rushed!
I hope that you and your family have the most perfect celebration! Have a magical time!
