Sarah,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
Eating at
Cinderella's Royal Table is an iconic experience for anyone. Dining in a castle in the middle of the
Magic Kingdom, meeting the princesses one by one, and connecting as a family is a special memory that you will never forget.
Breakfast can take as long or as little time as you would like, but I recommend you plan on anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half for the experience. This is partly because of the time you will likely want to spend meeting each princess, as well as enjoying your meal. Also, you cannot know where in their royal procession the princesses will be when you are seated. Scheduling that time ensures that your royal hosts will have the time to visit with other guests and get to your table to pose for photographs and chat.
BONUS TIP #1Part of why you should schedule this much time is that you do not meet Cinderella during your meal, but before being seated in an anteroom. This takes some time, but it is well worth the experience.
BONUS TIP #2The princesses follow a prescribed path through the dining room, so if you have someone who might need a bathroom break, you should be able to plan it out so you don't miss anyone. Check with your server, as they will let you know from where your princesses will come.
BONUS TIP #3If as you are being seated it seems like the princesses are leaving the dining room, do not worry! They are just checking on the chefs to make sure everything is perfect and will return in short order!
