Hi there, Lauren, and welcome to planDisney! As a fellow mom of a Princess-adoring daughter, I'm so happy that you've found us here with this great question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Let's face it: I'm a huge fan of Princesses and am always thrilled when I have the opportunity to meet them!
Lauren, you'll be happy to know that there are currently four dining experiences that include Princesses: Cinderella's Royal Table, Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White, 1900 Park Fare, and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. Each offers a feast fit for a Princess, and I'll share everything you need to know to help you decide which one will be the perfect fit for your family.
- Cinderella's Royal Table at Magic Kingdom - Located within Cinderella Castle, you'll visit with Disney Princesses as you dine in this iconic storybook setting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You'll notice that many of the young Guests will be dressed up for this occasion in sparkling gowns, and your daughter is welcome to join in the fancy fun! You might meet Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White, Ariel, and Jasmine during your meal here.
- Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White at Disney's Wilderness Lodge - A lovely boat ride from Magic Kingdom, this restaurant is found at a beautiful resort hotel. It is open for dinner and offers delicious food and an opportunity to meet Snow White, The Queen, and a few of the Dwarfs!
- 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa - This is another dining opportunity that's outside of the theme park. Just a short walk or Monorail ride from Magic Kingdom Park, here you'll meet some of Disney's beloved wish-makers like Tiana, Mirabel, Cinderella, and Aladdin. It's open for breakfast as well as dinner.
- Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT - Located within the Norway pavilion, you'll meet some of your favorite Princesses like Belle, Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora, and Tiana while enjoying a royal breakfast, lunch, or dinner feast!
Please keep in mind that when you dine within a Theme Park, you'll need valid park admission to enter, even if you have a Dining Reservation. Your daughter will not need theme park admission since she's under three years old. You will, however, need to include her in your dining reservations, and I strongly recommend making those as soon as you're able - 60 days before you check in. If you dine at a buffet or all-you-care-to-eat family-style restaurant, she will be allowed to eat off your plate at no charge! This is one of the many reasons visiting with a toddler is such a great idea!
Whether it's stroller rentals, baby care centers, attractions for younger guests, or what to bring in your park bag, I'd love to share more tips with you! You'll also find lots of helpful videos on the planDisney
website.
Lauren, you'll love experiencing the magic through your daughter's eyes, and I hope you have the very best time during your vacation. Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have as you count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
