Hi Katherine,
Cinderella's Royal Table is a magical experience with delicious food and some of the most sought-after princesses all in one place. They are wonderful about accommodating large parties and will be able to seat your party of 9. If for some reason they cannot make one big table, I have dined there with a party of 12 and they seated us at two tables side by side. This was great because we had more room to move around instead of being stacked all at one table.
Disney offers a great online booking tool for all of your dining reservations. Character dining locations book up quickly so you will need to start
making your reservation as soon as your 60-day window opens. If you are staying onsite, I recommend waking up at 6 AM 60 days before the first day of your vacation, and making dining reservations for your entire trip. Since only resort guests can book for their entire vacation you are more likely to get more sought-after reservations towards the end of your vacation period.
If your family loves the idea of character dining as much as mine, make sure to check out the other options for
meeting and eating with your favorite Disney pals. If you are interested in princesses,
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is also a great option and features some more adventurous food options to try!
Happy Planning
Jenna
