Hi, there!
Welcome back to planDisney, Megan. We just love when you stop by with your planning questions!
A meal at
Cinderella's Royal Table is such a magical experience. From the moment you step into the Grand Hall and onto the spiral staircase, you feel like you're walking into a dreamy fairytale! I'm happy to tell you that the prix fixe price at Cinderella's Royal Table does still include gratuity. Isn't that great? That's one less thing you need to plan for in your dining budget.
You can begin to make your dining reservations when you are 60-days out from your arrival date. The
online reservation system opens at 6:00 AM (with select dining locations offering reservations as early as 5:45 AM), and I very much recommend being prepared to make your reservations
that early! Fan-favorite dining locations like Cinderella's Royal Table book to capacity quite quickly. Since
Guests of Disney Resort hotels can make their dining reservations 60-days in advance plus the length of their stay (up to 10 days), you may have better luck if you book this particular dining experience near the end of your vacation.
I'm hoping that Fairy Godmother waves her magic wand over your computer the day your dining reservation window opens up. If you're able to book Cinderella's Royal Table, you'll certainly be in for a treat! The lunch and dinner menus have lots of incredible options, but I recommend the Tenderloin of Beef. For dessert, try The Clock Strikes Twelve. It's as beautifully presented as it is delicious!
I hope this was helpful, Megan. Please visit us again soon with any new questions you may have! We are delighted to help you plan a magical vacation.
