Hi, Melissa! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
I'm so excited to hear that you have a reservation for
Cinderella's Royal Table! The only thing more magical than enjoying a delicious meal inside Cinderella Castle is having the opportunity to visit with some royal friends while you dine.
Walt Disney World Resort recently announced that character dining will return to this location on February 28, 2023. While character appearances are always subject to change, I think it's safe to say that you should expect to meet Cinderella and several of her Disney Princess friends when you visit Cinderella's Royal Table on March 1, 2023.
I checked the park hours in the
My Disney Experience mobile app, and currently,
Magic Kingdom Park is expected to open at 9:00 A.M. on March 1, 2023. There is early entry for Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel starting at 8:30 A.M. In my experience, all Guests are typically able to scan into the park and stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. before the early entry time. Guests then must scan their MagicBands or park tickets again with a Cast Member near the castle hub area to show that they are Disney Resorts Collection Hotel Guests. Those Guests will be permitted to enter other areas of the park starting at 8:30 A.M., while Guests staying elsewhere will need to wait until 9:00 A.M. However, Guests who have early morning dining reservations will be permitted to enter early enough to arrive for their breakfast.
If I were you, I would plan to be at the Magic Kingdom Park entrance by 8:30 A.M. There will be lots of friendly Cast Members near the front of the park when you arrive. Just let a Cast Member know that you have a Cinderella's Royal Table reservation, and they will point you in the right direction so that you can arrive at the restaurant on time.
Melissa, I hope you enjoy your breakfast with the princesses. If you have a sweet tooth, try the caramel apple-stuffed french toast; it's delicious! If we can help you with anything else as you prepare for your trip, please visit us again.
Have a magical day!
Samantha
