Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Chricat. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort soon! There's no place I'd rather be, that's for sure.
A meal at
Cinderella's Royal Table is truly fit for royalty. With a decadent meal in a storybook setting and the enchanting company of beloved Disney Princesses, it makes for an unforgettable experience. Well done on getting a reservation at this fan-favorite restaurant!
You ask a really great question. Catching a performance of
Happily Ever After is the most magical way to end a day of pixie-dusted adventures at
Magic Kingdom Park, so you surely don't want to miss it. I've dined at Cinderella's Royal Table several times, and I've had varying experiences in terms of the time spent there. There have been instances in which my family and I were in and out in less than an hour, but on my most recent visit last summer, we were there for almost two hours total. It's really dependent on how long it takes to get seated! Even with a reservation, we waited almost 45 minutes last year before we made it to our table. So, that's all to say - you
may have plenty of time to find a viewing spot for Happily Ever After, or you
may not.
My best advice is to try and modify your reservation to an earlier time. If you can bump it up by just 30 minutes to an hour, that should give you plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely meal
and catch Happily Ever After. Dining reservations can be modified on My Disney Experience on the Walt Disney World Resort website or on the
My Disney Experience mobile app. I recommend checking availability a few times a day between now and your arrival date. With patience and persistence, I've always been able to modify my dining reservations to a more ideal time. You never know when someone's canceled or modified plans may mean new plans for you!
I hope this was helpful, Chricat. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
