Hey Howdy Hey Kylie and welcome to planDisney!
Living the fairytale experience with a trip to Walt Disney World Resort is a standard. Where else will you have the ability to dine amongst royalty in Cinderella Castle and have the younger princesses and princes go through their royal makeover experience in Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique? There are so many great experiences for your younger ones to live their most noble lives in Walt Disney World. Thank you so much for your question on comparables of experiences in Disneyland you may be able to have in Walt Disney World. As a girldad of 3, I can totally relate to trying to plan a vacation fit for your princess or prince-in-training, so let's get into your options.
Now as far as the quintessential dining experience in Walt Disney World would have to be at
Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom. With this experience, you will be dining with royalty! You will get a personal photo shoot with Cinderella herself as you get ready to make your way to the dining hall. With a few magical extras you may receive along the way, you will be seated inside Cinderella Castle to enjoy a meal looking out over the royal kingdom of Fantasyland. Princesses will be making their way around to the tables for your special and personal greetings. In the past, all Guests would be given a magic wand and a wishing star for souvenirs to take to commemorate their royal experience. Unfortunately with this experience, things like a gift bag with autograph books or necklaces are not offered.
At one time, there was a similar experience at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, in the
Garden View Tea Room that had a much more elaborate souvenir bag. This experience was teamed up with American Girl and you would have the opportunity to have a tea party with the royal couple and some esteemed Guests and would receive an American Girl Doll and some other cherished gifts for this experience. This particular experience has not returned since the COVID-19 closures and we are still waiting for word on its fate.
An experience that pairs nicely with Cinderella's Royal Table is a trip to the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom. Princesses and princes alike can get their royal makeover by their Fairy Godmother Apprentices to make sure they are ready for their noble visit. We were so happy to hear that operations will be beginning later this month on August 25th for the younger ones to have their opportunity for their Magical makeovers.
I hope these options will help you better get an idea of the offerings available in Walt Disney World. As you will see, there are many similarities between both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, but the details are different with each park. Best of luck as you continue to plan for your Magical vacation next year and if you have any further questions please stop back and let us know, we would be happy to help!
Happy Planning,
Nick
