Lovmy2girls go to Cinderella's Castle for Lunch! - The DIS Discussion Forums

lovmy2girls · 06-11-2006, 05:33 PM

We are having Lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table this trip. For Mothers Day I told my mom I would treat her to lunch in the Castle and she was thrilled! Out of all the trips we made when I was a kid, and even when she has been without me, she has never dinned in the Castle. So she was in for a treat!

Love the walkway in the castle, just so beautiful. The shop is always fun to look in too!

Here we are outside!

It’s sad to hear people come up the podium and ask “Do you have any times available? OK, what about for the rest of the week?” I’m sure people have gotten in same day or last minute, but the chances are slim! Very sad for the little ones wanting to eat in the Castle with Cinderella!

Me, my mom and the girls! Dear hubby is the one taking the picture. I requested a window seat. I also said I would be glad to wait for this seat. I think that helps when making a request like that. Lets them know you are not toooo demanding. Having never dinned in the castle before, I wanted my mom to have a great seat overlooking the park! WE GOT IT!!!

Here are pics of the appys! The girls chowed down on the fruit an cheese. The other platter had fried wontons, grilled chicken, and seafood ball kind of things; sorry I can’t be more descriptive here. I didn’t mind the chicken being cold, but the other appys were not good cold. I think they should have been warmer. Not good at all, and I like wontons. Nothing to rave about here with the appys, sorry folks.

Here is the main reason to dine in the Castle. Here come the princesses! We meet Cindy in the main lobby and had our picture made with her. The fairy Godmother also is included today at lunch.

Hubby had the Salmon and he said it was good. My mom and I both had the Major Domos Pie. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t fantastic good either. Nothing seemed warm enough. I think they plate all this stuff in advance and it is just sitting there till served.

The girls had the hot dog on pretzel bread. They gave it a thumbs up!

For the ending we had blueberry buckle cobbler. Very good, but I’m crazy about desserts, so I am easily pleased in this category. The girls had sundae with chocolate crown on top.

In conclusion I have a lot I WANT to say but will try and keep it short. I picked Cindy’s again because my mom has never dinned here. We have done breakfast here once before and really enjoyed it, that being our first time, it was special. We actually sat at the very same table. The food was not that great for the price you pay here. I guess you are really paying for the princesses and being in the Castle and that will just have to be that. This is not on my “Have to eat here again even if I haven’t eaten at all the WDW restaurants yet list”. The girls have had fun! Mom had Fun and thought it was a great Moms day gift! Now on to somewhere else!

Enjoyed reading your review ~ Thanx for sharing.

I totally agree with re the castle. We have eaten there for both breakfast, lunch and dinner and apart from the fantastic surroundings the food is less than wonderful.

Great review! Thank you for the pictures. November will be our first family trip. We will also have lunch at the castle.

Hope you have fun. Just being in the Castle and seeing the princesses is magical. Have fun!

Love the review!

We'll be eating lunch at the castle in October (first time) and my girls will be so excited when I show them the pictures from this thread tomorrow. Thanks so much.

I think that the castle is all about the experience...food is secondary. We've done both lunch and dinner (both when they were only 1 TS credit) and it was fun, but we don't think that it is worth 2 TS. It'll be a while before we return.

I think that we were at the same table that you were at for my birthday dinner in January. A window seat is definitely worth the wait!!!

Before we went, knowing that the breakfast is preplated, I figured it would be. I meant to check and see if they had actual kitchen facilities up there but totally forgot. Ours were brought to the table with their covers on and the covers removed at the table. Ours was sort of lukewarm also.

You mentioned that you requested a window seat and didn't mind waiting for it....did you request when you made the reservations or when you got there? Would you say the window seats are quite nice as far as looking at the park?

Thx for the info.

I just asked for it when I arrived for my ADR. The window seats are primo for looking out at the park.!
