Getting an Advance Reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table
Once upon a time, breakfast was the only character meal at Cinderella Castle in the
Magic Kingdom. Reservations for every table were gone within minutes of becom-
ing available each morning. Disney responded to this popularity by adding character
lunches and dinners—and jacking up the price to almost $60 per adult. As a result, it's

Also, the opening of the wildly popular Be Our Guest restaurant in the new Fantasy-
land has taken a lot of pressure off Cindy's. If you're visiting during peak periods or

DISNEY'S ROYAL ALTERNATIVES
If you're unwilling to fund Cinderella's shoe habit
or you simply weren't able to get an Advance Reservation before young Ariel gradu-
ates from college, rest assured there are other venues that will feed you in the com-
pany of princesses.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
, in the Norway Pavilion of Epcot's World Show-
case, serves family-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White,
and Belle are regulars. Entrees are a combination of traditional buffet fare and the oc-
casional Scandinavian dish.
