Cinderella's Royal Table 'Once Upon a Time' character breakfast

Cinderella's Royal Table is located in Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom. A character breakfast is held there every morning, and it is without a doubt the most popluar character meal at WDW. As a result of it's popularity, it is extremely hard to get a priority seating reservation for it.

The breakfast is served pre-plated and includes bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, potato casserole, and french toast (cheese danish, fried, with warm apples on top). Muffins, croissants and a fresh fruit cup are also served. Kids (or fussy eaters) may have french toast sticks if desired.

Character Breakfast menu

It costs $31.99 for adults, and $21.99 for kids (3-9).

Times are - 8:00am-11:15am

Characters vary, but may include any of these -
Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, Belle, Peter Pan, Snow White, Aurora, Pocahontas, Wendy, Aladdin, Jasmine, Prince Charming, Alice, Suzy & Perla, Dopey, Prince Phillip, Mary Poppins.


Strategies for booking -

You must call exactly 180 days before your required day.

Call WDW Dining on (407)939-3463 or (407)WDW DINE. WDW Dining opens at 7am Eastern Time (12pm GMT).

Start calling a few minutes before 7am, and hit redial if you get a message saying they are closed. Keep hitting redial, don't leave a gap between calls, until you hear a voice say all operators are busy, or you hear Disney music playing. Keep on holding until you get answered.

Often, all avaiable seatings will be booked up by 7:05am, maybe sooner!

As soon as the CM answers say you want to book for Cinderella's breakfast, and for how many, don't waste any time!

If they are booked up, try calling back at 7:15am, when those who have tried the above strategy have cancelled one of their ressies. Or the CMs at WDW Dining have discovered multiple bookings in the same name!

Try calling back every day from a week before you go, as cancellations may come up.
