Hello Frank! Thank you for bringing your question to us at planDisney.
Having the opportunity to dine within the shimmering, iconic
Cinderella Castle makes any visit to Magic Kingdom Park extra special.
Cinderella's Royal Table is a very popular dining location, and reservations tend to book up quickly. Fortunately, this location offers the opportunity to add your party to the walk-up waitlist (subject to availability) through the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
To check for
Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability on the day of your visit, select the plus sign at the bottom of the home screen in the My Disney Experience app, then "Check Dining Availability". Select the date on the calendar, and then below the calendar select "Now". You'll be able to see which dining locations with proximity to your location have walk-up waitlist availability. Since Cinderella's Royal Table serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the day of your visit, I recommend checking several times throughout the day. Mobile Dine Walk-up is only available on the day of your visit.
Another way to see if you can find availability at Cinderella's Royal Table is to check for reservations in the days leading up to your visit. Use the same "Check Dining Availability" button in the My Disney Experience app, or try the
dining reservations tab on the Walt Disney World website. Other Guests' plans change all the time, and I have found that hard-to-get reservations often open up a day or two prior.
Good luck! Frank, if you would like some suggestions for other great dining options, please write us back. We are always happy to help!
