Hiya, Sue! Welcome to planDisney! You’re Walt Disney World vacation is just around the corner. How exciting! You’ll be strolling down Main Street U.S.A, Mickey-shaped treat in hand, before you know it.
Cinderella’s Royal Table is a magical experience, so I certainly understand wanting to include it in your vacation itinerary. All dining locations located inside the theme parks, including Cinderella’s Royal Table, require valid theme park admission (and possibly a theme park reservation depending on the ticket type). Unfortunately, I’m sorry to share that there is no meal-only theme park admission option at this time.
Cinderella’s Royal Table is a very popular restaurant, but I’d recommend regularly checking back to see if any last-minute reservations become available. If a sooner option doesn’t pop up, then you may want to consider a different royal dining experience.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT is located inside a castle, and guests can meet a number of Disney Princesses. It’s also a popular reservation, but I’ve found that it’s a little easier to book than Cinderella’s Royal Table. This may be a controversial opinion, but I actually prefer the Scandinavian-inspired menu of Akerhus and think it’s one of the more underrated restaurants at EPCOT. Also, if character dining is your goal, then you can meet Cinderella and Princess Tiana at
1900 Park Fare, and Snow White at
Artist Point.
I’m sure this isn’t the news you wanted, Sue, but I hope it helps with your vacation planning. Come right back to planDisney if you have any other questions. We’re always happy to help!
Magical travels!
