Hi Stephania,
Welcome to planDisney!
I am absolutely delighted to know you were able to get an
advanced dining reservation for
Cinderella's Royal Table. Your route will depend on how the cast members have positioned themselves on the evening of your visit, but, typically, you can head across the bridge towards Liberty Square and then turn right to head along the pathway that will take you behind Cinderella Castle. When we watch the
Happily Ever After Fireworks, we always stand to the left near the front of the castle and, as soon as the show ends, we head to the left to cross the bridge.
Having said this, I will suggest that you keep checking dining reservation availability if you would not mind dining earlier. You may be able to snag an earlier reservation time. When I took our girls on their second visit to the Walt Disney World® Resort, I managed to get a dining reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table after quite a few weeks of searching. It was a lunch reservation for 2:20 p.m. Although it was a late lunch, it was much better than a late night reservation for our seven year old twins at the time. If you do find an earlier reservation, you can then enjoy the fireworks without having to worry about dashing off to a dining reservation.
Stephania, my family adores Cinderella's Royal Table. The princess experience is amazing and the food is good. If you will have little ones with you, consider their royal attire. Also, at some point before dinner, be sure to
Meet Princess Tiana and a Visiting Princess in Princess Fairytale Hall. We loved when our girls wore their royal attire through the park. So many cast members would greet them with a royal greeting. At one point, one of our girls asked "How do they know we're princesses mom?" I carefully responded that it might have something to do with what they were wearing! In the meantime, keep up your fantastic planning. Your countdown has begun!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
