Cinderella's Royal Table
January 14, 2016
We had a 2:20 ADR at Cinderella's Royal Table for lunch. I had originally hoped for an earlier time, but when I finally made an ADR all that was left was 2:20, so we took it. This was the one meal that the kids had no clue we were doing. We figured the girl child would love it. Princesses and the castle. We told them a few minutes before we headed over and the girl child decided to change into a princess costume. She decided to go as Elsa rather than Cinderella or Belle (yes we brought 3 costumes to the park for her that day). We headed in and got checked in about 10 minutes before our ADR time. We headed to the waiting area a few minutes later and got our pictures with Cinderella.
We then sat for a couple of minutes before being brought upstairs into the dining area. The kids all loved it. We got seated and our waiter Carl (like from Phineas and Ferb as minion 1 said, apparently Carl did not know the show, which was a bit surprising to us, but whatever) got our drink orders. I think the kids did milk and apple juice in some combination. Attriel got a Coke or rootbeer (I can't remember if they had rootbeer) and I believe I got a Sprite.
Carl quickly brought our drinks and appetizer out. The chef came out at some point in here to talk to attriel about his allergy. He said the fish of the day was perfectly safe for him. In general Disney was good about not having meat products in fish dishes other than seafood.
We liked the bread and the cheese with honey were great and the hummus was hummus. The salad dressing wasn't my favorite and I don't think anyone really ate any of it.
The kids enjoyed their grapes and cheese, though I believe minion 3 gave his cheese to attriel, because he only wanted grapes. Minion 2 got the salad no dressing, she loved it, but she loves salad so that wasn't a surprise.
The princesses were already out and coming around the room. I believe that Snow White was first to make it to our table.
Next up was Ariel.
Ariel started minion 1s quest to kiss all the princesses and the other characters he thought would like it. I didn't get a ton of pictures of him kissing the princesses because he kept doing it after I put down the camera. At some point in here our meals arrived.
Minion 2 got the kid's turkey pot pie. She did not like it, Carl offered and brought her out the chicken nuggets instead, which she was much happier with. I didn't try it so I can't say how it was to me, but she was not a fan.
The boys got the chicken nuggets they both liked these as did the girl who got them later on. We did have a bunch left over but we took them with us, and minion 1 ate them later that evening.
The fish of the day was Salmon on some sort of grain with sauce. Attriel liked the salmon, was not that impressed with the grain, but said over all it was good.
I got the braised short rib, with wilted spinach and mashed potatoes. This was great. I really enjoyed it. It was a great size for me as well.
At some point while we were eating Aurora also came by. I believe she was the princess that was here the shortest amount of time, just picture and head out. The kids were all happy though so it worked.
At this point they did the Wishing Star ceremony which all the kids enjoyed.
After the ceremony and we were done eating, Carl came back and took dessert orders. The kids all chose the smores, attriel wasn't overly interested on anything on the menu so I got both the Signature Dessert and Gus and Jaq's favorite. At this point we saw our last princess of the meal, Jasmine.
Got the kiss!
After seeing Jasmine our desserts came out.
First the kid's smores. They all liked it. Dan got one too because it was a bit too much for the 3 of them to have all 3. Everyone was happy with this choice though.
The Signature Dessert. This was quite tasty and I really enjoyed it.
Gus and Jaq's Favorite, was not my favorite. I was not impressed at all. It was slightly better then the cheesecake at Chef Mickey's but that is about the best I can say about it. I did not like this. Fortunately I had the other dessert to console me.
After we were done we got the chicken nuggets in a box and headed out. We all enjoyed the meal. The food was good, it probably wasn't quite as good at the price it cost, but the experience was great and the kids all really enjoyed it. We would do the Castle again since we all had a good time and the food was good.
We didn't really do dinner this evening. The younger two and I had bagels and cantaloupe in the hotel room for dinner, attriel had left over chocolate cake from our T-Rex dinner, and minion 1 ate the chicken nuggets.
We are going there for lunch and dinner though
Definitely not on our to-do list.
