Hi John, I’m excited to hear that you’ll be joining Cinderella and friends for a royal meal in her castle! I recently visited Disney World with my large extended family and dining reservations sometimes required a bit of extra planning. So let’s make sure you’re all set for your visit!
You’ve already taken the right approach by booking multiple smaller dining reservations around the same time for your party of nine. When you get to
Cinderella’s Royal Table, let the Cast Member at check-in know that you have three separate reservations and would like to sit together, if possible. While it’s not guaranteed, rest assured that Fairy Godmother will be trying her hardest to accommodate all of Cinderella’s guests of honor! I’ve had to use this strategy a lot for my large family and we’ve often been able to sit at the same table or at tables next to each other.
Now dining inside
Cinderella Castle is an occasion worthy of some extra sparkle! If a bit of glitter in your hair sounds magical, stop by the nearby
Sir Mickey’s for a complimentary sprinkling of pixie dust! Just ask a Cast Member if they have some to share that day. And if you’re visiting with little ones, they might also enjoy a visit to
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique where they’ll be pampered and transformed into princesses and knights fit for a royal gathering!
Like dining reservations,
Enchanting Extras like Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique can be booked 60 days in advance (and if you’re staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, you get the extra perk of booking 60 days before your check-in date for your entire length of stay). But if your dates are fully booked, not to worry! I’ve often had good luck checking the
website or the
My Disney Experience app during the week leading up to my trip for cancellations.
I hope you have the most magical meal with Cinderella and her royal friends! And if you have any more questions before your trip, just hop back over and visit us at planDisney.
