Hi, Sharon! Yes, it is included in the dining plan. Cinderella's Royal Table requires two Disney Dining
entitlements per person, however, you are getting much more than just the food
in this particular situation. First of all, you are eating in the
castle - a not-to-be-missed experience for all Disney Guests! Next, you
get the royal treatment. From the moment your family is heralded to eat
until every princess has greeted you personally, you feel like kings,
queens, princes, and princesses. On the financial side, an imaging package is included in the
cost of the meal. Each imaging package includes one 6" x 8" and four
4" x 6" prints, and one 6" x 8" print of Cinderella Castle, all in a
Cinderella-themed photo holder. Additionally, gratuity is also included
in the cost of this meal. I think you get quite a lot for two Table Service credits! There are a few dining experiences at Walt Disney World Resort which require a credit card payment to hold
the reservation. However, when you arrive for the meal, you can pay
for it using any method you prefer. You could choose to pay cash,
use a different credit card, pay with traveler's checks, redeem Disney
Dollars or Disney Gift Cards, or, like in your case, utilize Disney
Dining Plan credits. Simply tell the Cast Member serving you how you'd
like to make your payment. Since you want to use your Disney Dining Plan
instead of your credit card, the Cast Member will refund the purchase
price to the credit card and deduct the Disney Dining Plan credits from
your account. Be sure to bring the credit card you used to hold the
reservation and your Key to the World card with you to the meal. Happy
planning and have a Magical vacation!
