Silly question. What exactly is in THE CASTLE at MK?

[DebIreland]

Is Cinderella's Royal Table *inside* the castle? Are there other things in there or just the restaurant? In other words, is dining in the restaurant the only way to get in there? If so, are all meals in CRT character meals or can we make a PS just for regular dinner or lunch without character interaction? I have 2 boys aged 11 and 8 who would be mortified cavorting with princesses *shudder* but would still love to see what's inside the castle, if that makes sense! We also have a baby girl (15mths when we travel) who is a bit young to appreciate princesses (though we are bringing her to the Crystal Palace to 'meet' Pooh Bear who she hugs and kisses all the time ). Any help greatly appreciated.

Yes the restaurant is inside the castle. I believe all meals except dinner are now character meals.

The restaurant is on the second floor of the castle and you'll need to be eating there to get inside of it. But there is a walkway that goes through the castle on the first floor and a giftshop inside the castle on the first floor. So you can go inside the castle without eating there.

Eating at CRT is the only way to get above the "ground floor" of the castle. There is also an art shop in there on the ground floor. The murals that you pass by as you walk through are really pretty.

Thanks!!! That's great news. We'll definitely pay a visit to the gift shop and art shop.
