Lunch with Cinderella

[crafter23]

We were lucky enough to get lunch with cinderella for our first full day in Florida - after many phone calls hoping for a cancellation for breakfast one cast member finally said to my husband 'what about lunch?' So we grabbed it.

My question ... how is the lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table? We are taking our 5 year old daughter for the first time ... we arrive on Tuesday (can't wait!) and she still doesn't know we are going to Disney! hehe

thanks!

We had lunch there on 8/14. It was quite good. We had eaten there before it was character as well and always enjoyed it. You get an appetizer to share which was just enough. My DD had her own app of cheese and veggies. I got the roast pork which was delicious and my DH had the majordomo pie which is also good. ALL of the princesses were there - Cinderella, Belle, Snow White, Aurora, Mary Poppins. It was really wonderful. We did arrive early for our ressie - about 1/2 hour. It is quite crowded so there is a wait. I hope you have a wonderful time.

I think our reservation is for around 1 or 1:30 so we'll arrive early .. be a bit of a break! Our daughter is 5 and a bit big for the stroller but we have an umbrella stroller that we're bringing for her anyways so she can have a seat and a bit of a rest before lunch.

What other character meals would be good? Many years ago hubby and I went to the Crystal Palace which I thought was quite good so we might try that again. We have the dining pass so we figured we might as well take in a few character meals!

Can't wait to leave!!

thanks again

The food is always good at the Crystal Palace. There is a nice balance between "chef cusine" and "comfort foods".

Enjoy your lunch! We are eating lunch at the castle in October. DS and DH won't care about the princesses, and I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. I just think it will be a very "Disney" experience. Friends of ours had dinner at the castle on their last trip and they really encouraged us to have a meal there if we could get in.

Please post a review when you get home! I haven't seen very many "lunch" reviews for CRT.

Dh and I had lunch there on 8/5.....I just copied and pasted this from our huge food review

Lunch at the Castle! This was one of the meals I was looking forward to so much! I was not disappointed! When we checked in, they verified that we were celebrating our anniversary. We were a little confused since this whole trip was an anniversary trip, the actual day was 8/2. We had never mentioned anniversary at all when making this ADR. When we were seated, he table had Mickey confetti all over the runner. We thought that was so cute. We had a wonderful window table. Our appetizer plate came out immediately. They could have just served me that and I would have been happy! (Can you tell I love appetizers?) There was a little salad with grilled chicken on it, fresh mozzarella, crab cakes and dumpling/fried wonton type of thing. Everything was great! I wanted ask for more! While we were waiting for our entrée, the server came back over and announced that this is what they call a Magic Moment! She presented us with a certificate and a box with CRT champagne flutes! We were presently surprised! Our entrée came out moments later. We both ordered Major Domo's Favorite Pie (Prime Rib of beef simmered in rich cabernet sauce, served with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables, crowning a light pastry) Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!! The meat was so good, the veggies were nice and crisp and the mashed potatoes were inside the puff pastry! DH was looking at his when it arrived and commented that he though there was supposed to be mashed potatoes. He was confused when I suggested he try cutting into the pastry. All the princesses came to our table. They read and signed the Magic Moment certificate and congratulated us on our anniversary. We would have loved to chat with them for a minute or 2 but we just snapped our pictures and let them move on to the next table. There were so many children there and we didn’t want to be princess hogs! The blueberry cobbler dessert was so good. DH hates blueberries and he even like it! It looked like a fancy blueberry muffin! I forgot to take a picture of it though! Snow White came by right after it was served and I was so excited about getting her picture, I forgot to snap one of the dessert!
