How to get a Cinderella's Royal Table reservation

How to get Cinderella's Royal Table inside Cinderella Castle: when it opens, why it sells out, how payment works, and how to catch a cancellation.

The short answer

Cinderella's Royal Table, inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, is one of the hardest reservations at Walt Disney World. Booking opens 60 days ahead at about 6 AM Eastern and popular times go in minutes. It is paid in full when you book, unlike most restaurants. If it is sold out for your dates, watch for cancellations: tables come back when other families change plans, and an alert tells you the moment one opens for your party.

Why it is so hard

It is the only restaurant inside the castle, it has a royal character meal, and it seats far fewer families a day than the demand. Resort guests can also book it for their whole stay on their 60-day mark, which takes many later-trip dates before off-site guests can reach them.

How payment works

Cinderella's Royal Table is prepaid: Disney charges the full meal when you book. Check the cancellation terms Disney shows at booking before you pay.

Catching a cancellation

Tables reappear when other families cancel, any day up to the day itself, and are usually rebooked within minutes. Wishweaver checks Disney's public availability for your party size and dates every 5 minutes and alerts you by email and phone with a link to book it. Because it is paid in full at booking, we alert you and you book it in your own account.
