Tips for adults at Cinderella's Royal Table?

[FoundinWonderland]

This trip we are going to Cinderella's Royal Table for the first time! We are all "adults" and we are really excited. But, having never eaten there before, is there anything we should know? Any tips you can share? I had heard that it is supposed to be "all you care to eat" but the waiters never tell you that; are refills still available? Which Princesses do you typically see there? Is Tiana ever in the castle?

Thanks for all your help!

It is really nice and a fun experience. Nothing in particular to know. You might want to let your server know you want to fully participate if you want to do the wands and the sword and stuff.
Any tips you can share?

I didnt know about the all you can eat, but have alweays been full off whatever meal we ordered so I dont think that will be an issue.
are refills still available? drink refills were available when we were there
Which Princesses do you typically see there? Is Tiana ever in the castle? We have never seen tiana anywhere except for her spot at MK. We have seen Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Cinderella, and snow white in the castle.

I can't answer all of your questions but it is not all you care to eat.


Breakfast may be a bit different but I know lunch and dinner are not all you can eat.

Don't think anyone has seen Tiana there.

Breakfast is indeed "all you care to eat". And since there are three different breakfast dishes available, you can even start with one and then get all or part of the others as your "seconds".

I almost always get the traditional breakfast, with the great (but not as good as it used to be) stuffed french toast and sausage, then order a bowl of the yogurt and granola from the "healthy" breakfast for seconds.

I never feel rushed - once my server gave a bit of a hint, but I ignored it - I was there to enjoy my experience, not to rush through a photo session and get out as quick as I can. Because I take longer than most guests, I always finish my meal during the break between seatings - so I end up getting photos without people in the way, if I find an angle I like.

Thanks all for the info- mostly I am just hoping we won't be rushed. Thanks cigar95 for letting me know you were able to linger.

And yes, we are going for breakfast so good to know the food is unlimited if you ask- I will defiantly be passing that tidbit around.

I think most of us are hoping to see Belle- anyone know if she's a regular?

Thanks for all your help!

We have only gone as adults and enjoyed it each time. We have done lunches and dinner but never breakfast (seems a little pricey to us). We have never seen the new princess and last trip Jasmine wasn't there when we went to lunch. Belle (blue dress) has been there every trip (I think the same exact girl). They will gladly pose for pictures with you too (even adults). I have a treasured one of DH with Snow White. Enjoy!

We had lunch there and the princesses we saw were snowhite, Belle (in her blue dress), Aurorora (Sleeping Beauty), and Jasmine. They were great and came over to do autographs and pictures. The meal was good too, you should have a great time.

We ate there for dinner and did not feel rushed. It was the best dining experience we had at WDW. I like the table service over buffets but the one plate full was enough. Did not see Tiana there.

For our dinner, it was later, we left and could not go out through fantasy land because of the fireworks and the parade out front made it impossible to go out that way. We were stuck. If I had known, we would have stayed in our seats for a while.

This May will be my second time dining at CRT, and I'm super excited! It's always an amazing feeling knowing that you get to eat dinner up in the Castle! The first time I ate there we went during the Wishes fireworks and it was one of the best decisions we've made in a while...no little kids, and we were lucky enough to get a window seat so we could watch the fireworks while dining in the castle.

The menu isn't the most extensive, but the food they do have is delicious. I don't think you'll be dissapointed!

We ate breakfast there. It was REALLY good. We all got seconds and did not feel rushed at all.

Princesses we saw were Cinderella in the lobby, Belle (in her blue dress), Snow White, Aurora and Ariel (in her gown).

It was a really wonderful experience .

Enjoy!!

We ate breakfast there with our 3 year old daughter. Honestly, once is enough. Especially since the castle is undergoing renovations, we would not waste the money.

We saw Cindy in lobby, Aurora, Snow White, Ariel (green dress), and Belle in her blue dress. Character interaction was mediocre. They come, do their job, go on...

If you want Belle in her yellow dress, head on over to Epcot to Akershus (Norway). The character interaction IMHO has ALWAYS outshined the experience at other character interactions (except where Pluto spent 30 minutes with us the Swan). Personally, I think the food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) is superior at Akershus. At Akershus, we have seen Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, Ariel, Belle, & Aurora. We once saw Mulan through the window.

Tiana is available to see in her Garden which is across the bridge in MK, behind the XMas shop. I think she (and Prince Naveen) are the most personable, talkative, and interactive... but then again, she is my daughters FAVORITE!

We head to Disney every 4-6 weeks since my husband is contracted out with them. We just completed our 9th trip since May and I can honestly say that we have eaten in EVERY restaurant. Cindy's for us was a "one and done".

I hope you enjoy your Adult only trip and have a great meal at the castle!
