Review of Cinderella's Royal Table Breakfast

I still recommend this restaurant for the meet and greet with the princesses.
Party of 3 had ADR for 8am(first seating) in early December. It was nice to get to the Magic Kingdom early without too much of a crowd(early extra magic hours). Upon entry you meet Cinderella for a picture(package included in price). Then up the stairs you go to the dining room. We were seated right by the windows overlooking to carosel. Very pretty. Wait staff was quick and attentive.
After chosing your entree, pastries come to the table. They were fresh and tasty.Each person gets a "wishing star" and the kids get swords or magic wands...CUTE! The annoucements start coming introducing each princess about 10 minutes apart.
Then the food. Not hot and not good. Had the French toast with the eggs and bacon. BLAH, french toast was limp and cold. My daughter only wanted the french toast(vegetarian) and was told everything comes together. She ate a pastry.
The meet and greet was great, each princess spent time at the table and took pictures. It sure beats standing in a line or using a fast pass to meet them.
For 2 table service meals, I will not do this again. Norway breakfast in Epcot is sooooo much better.

I still recommend this restaurant for the beautiful dining room and atmosphere.
Party of 3 had ADR in early December. You check-in and then wait on the bridge to the restaurant...very pretty. Wait staff comes out to get you with a Luminere statue and proceeds to walk you through the restaurant. Our staffer told all kinds of facts about the restaurant and explained that you are only allowed to meet the Beast after your meal is entirely over and you are on your way out of building. Which makes a lot of sense. He also said we could take pictures of the other dining rooms after the meal.
We were seated in the main dining room which was all decorated for Christmas. Outside the windows it was snowing. So pretty. While we were there, the Beast is announced into the room with quite a fuss, music and he bows. SO CUTE. Wait staff was wonderful and quick to serve.
Food on the other hand was awful. 2 adults had chicken and my daughter had a grilled cheese sandwich. The chicken was over-cooked with no flavor and skin was left on. YUK! Daughters grilled cheese was cold and cheese was not melted...Seasoned fries and not stated on menu.
Dessert was your choice of cupcakes which is brought to you in a glass case on wheels..CUTE. Cupcakes are tasty but very tiny.
After our meal we got on a small line to meet the Beast. Do you know how many people tried to get in that line without having finished their meal? About 5 families in 5 minutes? Adults just don't listen or think rules don't apply to them. Such rude people too, yelling at the host of the line.!! Disney has a host there to make sure you are finished and on your way out of the restaurant. The host then explained to us it happens all day long.
Well, after that mess, the meet and greet was wonderful. Beast danced with my daughter and took some great pictures.
So, while the food was horrible, everything else had that Disney magic. I am going to try it again next year but maybe for breakfast, which I heard is starting in Feb or April of 2105

Party of 3, had ADR in early December. We arrived early and were seated quickly.
Wait staff were amazing and really friendly. Drinks, apps and entrees were served quickly. Food was hot and tasted delicious. Spaghetti, a pizza and raviolis. All delicious!! For dessert we always order the ricotta fritters, they are FABULOUS!
We always make time to eat at this restaurant while visiting WDW. This is opur 4th meal here. It is a bit loud, but I think it is because of the high ceilings and the size of the dining room. But that doesn't stop us from going back.
Good food, staff and atmosphere.

Visited early December and ate lunch as part of the Candlelight Processional Package. We were a party of three and when we arrived were seated quickly.
Wait staff was quick and attentive. Ate pasta, raviolis and one had chicken parm. All meals were cooked well and came to the table piping hot. The grated cheese was even awesome.
Tiramisu and gelato for dessert was delicious!
We visit this restaurant every time we are at WDW, and will return next year.

This is our second time here since we were here 3 years ago. Food was just OK but not worth the 2 dining credits. We ordered Alaska King and Filet Mignon, both were just OK. We have to wait about 30 minutes to be seated even we were there at 5:30 for the 5:45 reservation. Waiter never checked on us after we ordered the food. We will not come back, will try other place.
Pros:
nice view, comfortable seatingCons:
wait time to be seated, lack of service.Review of Narcoossee's

We were under the dinning plan so we ordered mango smoothie for the drink, For entrees, we ordered Filet Mignon with lobster tail and another entrees 2 lbs lobster, both were excellent. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful too. It was worth the 2 dining credits since we ordered the most expensive food from the menu and we will be back again the next time we have the dining plan.
Pros:
delicious seafood and steakCons:

Room and bus service were OK. Stayed in building 6. It was close to the big pool but the food area closed too early even during the Christmas week. We would not be able to get the refill drink there after 7pm and have to walk all the way to the main building for the refill. Kids of mine aged 9, 12 & 15 don't like this place, just didn't have the Disney feel. We have tried 6 different Disney resorts from value to deluxe and this is the least that we liked.
Pros:
Beautiful groundCons:
Too far to get the food or refill the drinks. Too many mosquitos.Review of Cinderella's Royal Table Dinner

The good thing here s the fried chicken. People worked behind the food areas seem much nicer than the cashiers and willing to help. They don't have any cup of fruit like other food court for desserts.
