Cinderella’s Royal Table reopened last year with modified character dining, but at the time, only lunch and dinner were being served. Since then, we heard the announcement that breakfast would be returning to this iconic Magic Kingdom restaurant.
We grabbed a reservation and now we’re back in the early morning hours to check out what breakfast looks like these days at Cinderella’s Royal Table!
We arrived at Cinderella’s Castle to check in for our reservation…
…where we gave our name to the Cast Members standing outside.
We got a text shortly after telling us our table was ready.
We went inside and a host brought us to our table.
We gotta say, you really can’t beat the atmosphere at Cinderella’s Royal Table!
Since it was announced that breakfast was returning to Cinderella’s Royal Table, we had wondered what the menu would look like. We since learned that there were specialty wine cocktails (also served as a flight), an appetizer pastry plate, a few options for entrees, and more breakfast drinks including soft drinks, coffee, hot tea, and juice. Breakfast is $42 per adult and $27 per child, plus tax and gratuity. This includes the pastry plate, an entree, and beverages, but it doesn’t include the specialty wine.
Here’s a closer look at the entrees available.
For our drink, we tried the Royal Breakfast Flight.
This flight included samplings of Mimosa with Paul Cheneau Lady of Spain Cava and Orange Juice, Canella Bellini Sparkling Peach Cocktail, and Opici Family Selection Sangria.

Our breakfast started off with the pastry plate, which included fresh strawberries, croissants (regular and chocolate chip), and Mickey Mouse-shaped blueberry muffins.
We’re in love with these Mickey muffins!
We asked for some condiments for the pastries, and we were given honey, grape jam, and butter.
And for our main course, we ordered the Shrimp and Grits.
This dish has Smoked Gouda Cheese Grits, Tomato Jam, Fried Egg, Buttered Shrimp, and Garlic Baguette.
Good. Morning.🤤 pic.twitter.com/m4iCcG2FqX

When it comes to characters, we spotted a sign on the way in that announced that some royalty might stop in for a visit! Guests were instructed to remain seated.
Sure enough, Cinderella stopped in to say hello to the guests.
Like lunch and dinner, Cinderella was the only princess present, and she remained socially distanced throughout her visit.

But you could still say hello and take pictures!
We were given an autograph card as a souvenir from our visit as well.
On our way out, we took in some views from the Castle.

Who in their right minds would or could pay over $50 for a breakfast. Ridiculous.
Ken says
Nice, entertaining, and traditionally higher priced…. But this is a once in a lifetime breakfast. Go for it…
Essie says
Wow, the inside of the castle is gorgeous! 😲 I can see how people who can afford it will eat meals in the castle. You’re not just paying for the meal, you’re paying for the ambience as well. Just to be able to sit in there and enjoy a meal while looking around and out of those stain glass windows is an experience that most people will never experience outside of Disney.
