Hiya Hannah,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for your question about my favorite topic, dining!
Nothing is more synonymous with Walt Disney World Resort than our shining beacon of magic, Cinderella Castle, and dining inside of it at
Cinderella’s Royal Table is about as iconic as it can get. It truly is a dining experience fit for royalty with the character interactions, atmosphere, and food! Hannah, I spoke to a Cast Member, and you absolutely can opt not to eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table and enjoy the experience with your family. That said, to make a reservation, you will be charged for the cost of the meal for each Guest planning to sit at the table at the time of booking, even if someone isn’t planning to eat.
I hope this was helpful, Hannah. Before I let you go, I know you mentioned that your food allergies prevent you from eating out, and I wanted to share with you about the
Special Diets team in case you haven’t heard about them before. The Walt Disney World Resort Special Diets team is specially equipped to help you navigate dining at Disney World, taking into consideration your unique needs. You can
reach out to them 14 days before your arrival. They can help advise you in the dining process and even potentially work with Cinderella’s Royal Table to accommodate your allergies.
Please come back and see us if you need anything else!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
