Hi Chelle!
Welcome back to planDisney.
Congratulations on securing a dining reservation at one of the most magical locations at Walt Disney World -
Cinderella's Royal Table! Located inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park, it doesn't get any better than that!
For any dining within a Disney theme park, you will need park admission tickets. As your reservation is for earlier than the official park opening time, you will see an entry point for guests with dining reservations, so you can enter the park before it opens. You will be admitted in plenty of time for your 8.00 am reservation.
There's something very special about being in the park before opening time. Remember to take some photos on Main Street U.S.A., and in front of the Castle before the park gets really busy. I think the Magic Kingdom is at its most beautiful first thing in the morning, while it's just waking up for the day, and you can enjoy the atmosphere as you make your way to the Castle.
Once you arrive, you'll meet Cinderella before going to the dining room where other Disney princesses will visit you during your meal.
When driving to the Magic Kingdom, the parking lots are located at the Transportation and Ticket Center - I would aim to arrive there no later than 7.30am because you will need to take the Express Monorail or the ferryboat across Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom Entrance.
If you decide to use a
Disney Bus, you will get closer to the entrance. Buses begin operating around 45 minutes prior to park opening times. This might be a little tight for your 8.00am breakfast, but please check the times with the Front Desk of your hotel, in case they are scheduled to start earlier than that.
The only cars allowed to take you directly to the park entrance are the
Disney Minnie Vans, which can be ordered on the Lyft app. They offer a premium service to/from all Disney Resort hotels, and you'll definitely arrive in style!
Please come back and visit us again if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World.
