Hi and welcome to the DIS!
Here's the latest this morning from mouseplanet.com. Fixed price, set menu means everything is included for the price. You can't order a la carte and there are likely no substitutions allowed. There's probably no way of getting a new menu until it goes into effect on Feb 1, unless someone can manage to leak one out in advance:
On February 1, major changes will take effect at all meals at Cinderella's Royal Table, the popular restaurant inside Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom.
The first, and most obvious change, will take place as your arrive at the restaurant. Taking a page from Chef Mickey's restaurant at the Contemporary Resort, your party will be posed for photos in the lobby before they will seat you for your meal. A package of the photos will be presented to you during your meal to give you the option to purchase them. The package of four 4x6 inch and one 6x8 inch prints of your photo, plus one 6x8 inch print of Cinderella Castle, all in a Cinderella photo holder, will set you back $29.95. Of course, you can also buy additional photos.
Breakfast and lunch will still be Princess character meals, but the meal will be from a fixed-price, set menu. The pricing has gone up as well, to $31.99 for adults/$21.99 for children ages 3-9 for breakfast and $33.99 for adults/$22.99 for children ages 3-9 for lunch. The breakfast and adult lunch menus appear to be largely unchanged (just some renaming of menu items on the lunch menu), though the children's lunch menu will be much less imaginative, switching the Pretzel Dogs for a "Wrapped Cheese Hot Dog" and dropping the "Minor Domo" sandwich and Pasta Marinara in favor of hamburger and cheeseburger options to go with the remaining fourth option of chicken strips.
Dinner will now also move to a fixed-price, set menu meal. Dinner will be hosted by the Fairy Godmother, rather than the princesses. Diners will also receive a special, unframed, unmatted lithograph (est. retail price $50). The meal itself will cost $39.99 for adults/$24.99 for children ages 3-9. The new children's menu is the same as lunch (no more prime rib for kids), while the adult menu has undergone some severe cutbacks. To start with, the ability to order your own appetizer has been replaced by an appetizer plate to be shared by the table, as at lunch. The greater change is in the entree, however, as the current eight entrees have been reduced to four, three of which may change on a daily basis. There are "Chef's Creation" offerings of chicken, pasta and seafood. The fourth option will come as a comfort to several on our MousePad discussion forums, as the Prime Rib will still be available.
Guests will be able to use Magic Your Way Plus Dining Plan credits at the restaurant, but it will require two table service credits.
Also effective February 1, all meals at the restaurant will require pre-payment in full with a credit card at the time of booking. The ability to make a reservation and then follow up with payment by check is now gone. No reservations can be made without a credit card. There will also be a cancellation penalty of the full price of the meal if you don't show or cancel within 24 hours of your seating time. In addition, Disney Dining Experience and cast member discounts will also cease beginning February 1. Photo identification will be checked when the group checks in to ensure that the person who made the reservation is present at the meal. For reservations up until February 1, though, all current rules and pricing will still be in place.
