Eating in Cinderella Castle
Moderator: Moderators
My wife and I have eaten there several times and enjoyed it just because it's in the castle. The food isn't the best in WDW but it is good.
Lat time, we took our granddaughters to lunch with Cinderella. They thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet Cinderella and have their pictures taken. ANd Cinderella was also happy to pose with our whole party of 6 adults and the two children. When the other princesses entered the dining room, the kids faces lit up like I have never seen before. They were so excited tht they couldn't eat. The princesses spent a lot of time talking to each of the guests. None seemed to be in a hurry. I was so pleased with the characters! My grandchildren were 4 and 6 at the time. We're planning another trip in 2009 when they will be 6 and 8. They both said that they would rather do something else this time. So my advice is to do it at least once (plan well ahead) and then follow the lead of the children to see if it's worth another trip to them. They do still talk about how special it was. It was grand to see them having so much fun.

I had the wonderful pleasure of eating here. It was on a birthday of one of my family members we were traveling with. (You know who you are BLUE) It was so much fun and exciting. We were lucky enough to be seated by windows facing Fantasyland. It was a great experience to watch the park from inside Cinderella castle. The food was great. My favorite part was when the princesses came out to circle around the tables. It was the only time I've been able to get a picture with Cinderella and Snow White!

We just visited last month and used the Disney Dining Plan. It takes two sit down dinners and is definitely worth it. The food is good, the service was very good and the experience was well worth it. You really owe it to yourself to go at least once.

I've eaten there more than once, year after year. I think the food is very good, not the best and the portions are a little small. The real reason why I go there is so I can sit in the atmosphere of the castle. I think the inside is very cool looking, even though I know its fake brick and stuff. I'm not really into the character experience. I think the real reason its so expensive, is because of the characters and being and eating in the castle, thats what your paying for, to eat in Magic Kingdom's Icon. I have only gone once since the price went up to include pictures with Cinderella, We got our pictures once, and now it doesn't seem worth it to go again and again paying extra for more pictures. I think maybe the picture thing is to deter people from going and again so that other families have a chance to make a reservation because it can sometimes it can very hard to get a table. Or more likely its to make money because every princess has to have her picture taken at the castle.

I've eaten there twice, the food there is okay - although I think your mainly paying for the atmosphere and experience. My experiences there weren't particulary good, first time I was knocked in the back of the head by a waiter with a plate - got mild concussion & a free cinderella glass though and the second time was on g** day weekend when some of the men were acting abit inappropriatly for a family restaurant. Although both these experiences weren't completely positive - I would maybe go back there in the future, although there are many good restaurants in wdw - I find this one a bit overpriced - I think if your going with kids there are many other choices that have more encounters with their favorite characters and many of these have better cuisine.
