Cinderella's Royal Table

[midnight star]

I got a reservation for Cinderella's Royal Table for our trip in January. I've done the Napa Rose princess breakfast at DL, so I thought I would try this one since I've heard so much about it.

- How is this experience for adult-only parties?
- How many princesses do you see?
- I read about photopass photographers. Are they walking around and taking pictures of all interactions, or is it a posed photo?
- We have the dining plan, and are holding a reservation with it. When we arrive, can we pay with our money instead of using 2 meals?

Thanks!

1 - I've only been as adult only parties (including solo) and have always had great experiences!
2 - Cinderella downstairs then usually Snow, Ariel, Aurora and one more (Jasmine, Belle, I can't remember) upstairs
3 - The photopass photographer is only downstairs with Cinderella, upstairs you're on your own for photos
4 - Yes they will happily let you pay in cash then and there instead of using your credits, just let them know when you check in

HTH

If you are pretty much sure you want to pay instead of use credits, I would go ahead and call and pay with a CC ahead of time because when you hold it with credits, it goes ahead and deducts those credits from your total before you even check in (ex. If you are staying 5 nights with a spouse and have 10 credits total, when you check in, your paperwork will just say 6 credits because 4 are already deducted for CRT). So, if your CRT is later in your trip, you can't spend those credits until they have been released by the meal being paid some other way.

A lot of the appeal here is the setting, actually since you are dining inside the castle.

The interaction with princesses can be hit or miss, and depends a lot on whether they sense that you really want to interact. Some adults just want a photo and then to get back to their meal. It will probably be less than the interaction at Napa Rose since that meal makes this one look like a bargain. Be prepared with some things to say to encourage interaction.

Thank you for telling me this. I will switch it. I made a reservation for this on our last day, and have other dining we plan to use credits for earlier in the week.

Soo pretty! I'm contemplating on doing this princess dining and another one. I REALLY want to eat in the castle! Plus Cinderella is my favorite princess so I need to eat here lol.

Reading some of the descriptions for other princess dining, it doesn't sound like there are that many princesses that come out? I saw 7 at Napa Rose. So I am trying to find a way to meet a large variety of princesses. I'm not a big fan of the meet and greets in the park, and def don't want to use a fastpass to meet them.

You might find one who is different (maybe at Akershus?) but there's no way of knowing that for sure going in (there's a very set rotation but there's no way to know if someone is out sick or if they had a schedule snafu). The one most likely difference between CRT and Akershus is Belle is typically greeting guests in her yellow ball gown at Akershus. If she happens to appear at CRT (not common these days) she would be in her blue town dress. You can find some princesses around Epcot's World Showcase, and a few others around the MK (check the times guide) but you do have to be willing to commit some time to that.
