Cinderella's Royal Table, I have some questions

[Dolphan]

Sorry about the double post...I don't know what I did last night. Must have been too tired.

Can someone give me some additional information regarding character dining, specifically for Cinderella's Royal Table. I assume that at 27 days out, there is no way I would be able to get a reservation. So my questions are more for our next trip.

Is the lunch a buffet? Also, the website lists the prices as $36 - $59.99 per person. Am I correct then that the $36 price is for children under 10, and the $59.99 is for adults? Are children under 3 free? Is there anything other than the food included in this price?

Finally, do I even bother calling to see if I can make a reservation, or would I just be wasting my time? (I have fully accepted the fact that this event is fully booked by now) Is there a character dining that I'd be able to reserve at this point, or am I completely out of luck?

here's a link to more info about the meal

it's not a buffet, there's a limited menu to choose from. other than the food a picture package is encluded and a sword/wand. it wouldn't hurt to try to see if there are any reservations. gl!

The prices you have listed are off in that they're too high (a good error to have! ). During "holiday pricing," lunch will set you back $39.99 per adult (plus tax and tip) and $25.99 per child ages 3-9. During regular times, adults are $35.99 and children are $23.99. Adults (not sure how the children's menu works) get an appetizer, an entree, a dessert, and unlimited refill drinks such as soda, tea, etc. I know they have a smoothie there in a collector glass, but that's not included in the cost.

Really, it can't hurt to try and see if they had a cancellation. Ya never know! Dinner is generally easier to book than L or B based on my readings here. Downside is no princesses other than Cinderella in the lobby (Fairy Godmother plus Suzy and Perla come around for a mini-show, but not autographs, or so is my understanding).

In my experience, Ohana's breakfast (Stitch, Lilo, Mickey, and Pluto) is a character dining experience that's easier to get into. Chef Mickey's, I know, has been booked for a while that 2nd full week in May.You might also try Crystal Palace in the MK (Winnie and friends). There's also Garden Grill in Epcot, Liberty Tree Tavern in MK, and 1900 Park Faire at the Floridian, to name a few. It can never hurt to try! Have a fabulous trip!

Also try two days and one day before you want to eat there (or, every day if you want). Since CRT has a cancellation policy, and Guests are penalized by cancelling too close to their reservation time, you might get lucky!

I got a breakfast reservation for May 24th yesterday so it is doable if you are extremely flexible!!! Good luck!!!!

Hi. I was able to grab a breakfast reservation two days before we went. I called every day (sometimes twice a day) until I got one.

You just never know. This was spring break time, so it was a busy time.

I would keep trying. Most of us all have unlimited calling so really it doesn't cost anything but our time to make the call. You never know what could happen. I called everyday to get our ADR. I was lucky enough to get one for lunch (which is what we wanted). It wasn't on the day we were hoping for but I got one.

If it is a MUST for you and your family I would be flexible w/ your time and days. I just gave them my time frame and said if anything pops up book it. After checking 8 days on the 9th I snagged an ADR. Telling them to book whatever pops up is a great way NOT to have someone else snag it as well.

Hope this helps and keep trying.

The first time i did CRT was a breakfast that we booked 2 days before while at disney. I would call and have them check. You never know.
