Greetings, Heidi!
Welcome to planDisney! It sounds as if your planning is off to a great start. You are already researching dining options, and it sure sounds like you are planning on some fabulous meals!
Cinderella's Royal Table is a favorite tradition for my Ohana. My daughter and I reserve a spot in Cinderella Castle each visit. If you will be enjoying lunch or dinner, be sure to try the
Clock Strikes Twelve. This dessert is absolutely delicious! The Fairytale Dining options at Cinderella's Royal Table range from $35 to $60 per adult and $29 to $39 per child. This price is subject to change and does not include tax or gratuity.
Whether you are dining in Liberty Square or zooming off to space, locations with a pre-fixe menu like
Liberty Tree Tavern and
Space 220 Restaurant offer fabulous menu options at a pre-set price. This is a great way to budget for your upcoming dining expenses. It is important that most locations with a pre-fixe menu do not include tax or gratuity. This is a great note to keep in mind when creating your travel dining budget. Tax and gratuity over multiple meals can add up, and unplanned charges could impact your plans.
If you are dining with a larger party (six more) a gratuity may be automatically added to your bill, so be sure to check with a Cast Member while dining when in doubt.
Dining reservations at Walt Disney World Resort can be made 60 days in advance, so mark your calendar. The booking window opens early, traditionally around 5:45 AM ET, and popular locations can often be fully booked in minutes. I strongly recommend setting an alarm and making your reservations right when the booking window opens. And if you are a Guest of a
Walt Disney World Resort Collection hotel, you can make your reservations 60 days prior to check-in for the length of your stay (up to ten days). Being able to book an extra nine days of dining reservations can really help secure popular dining spots!
I hope your upcoming adventure is memorable and magical!
We'll see ya real soon!
