"Highlighted as one of the exceptions to the usual rule that gratuities are not included — the guide explicitly notes that gratuities are not included generally, 'except for' this venue and the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue — and is presented in the broader context of character and table-service dining options that accept Disney Dining Plan credits." - Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna is a theme park and travel journalist who has spent her professional career in New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles.

"It’s worth eating here at least once, particularly if you have small children or are a Disney princess fanatic. They’re open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but the best move is to come for an early morning reservation before the park opens so you’ll already be inside during rope drop. Book the earliest possible time slot, and you’ll be finished with your meal in time to get a front-row spot for the Magic Kingdom’s opening ceremonies, or simply run around a nearly-empty Fantasyland taking photos." - carina finn koeppicus, anne cruz
"Dining inside Disney World's iconic Cinderella Castle is a must for many theme-park fans: a fairy-tale, prix-fixe table-service experience offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with entrees like scrambled eggs, French toast, and shrimp and grits for breakfast, and chicken and filet mignon for lunch and dinner. The experience is punctuated by wandering princesses who meet with each guest, making this one of the most sought-after experiences in the Magic Kingdom." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.
