About Cinderella's Royal Table
Cinderella's Royal Table sits on the second floor of Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, reached through the castle foyer and up a spiral staircase to a medieval-themed banquet hall. Stained glass windows, stone walls, and chandeliers anchor the room. Disney princesses visit the tables throughout each meal: depending on the season, that may include Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White, or Rapunzel. Each child receives a commemorative wand or sword, and a professional photo with Cinderella in the lobby is included.
