You are paying for Location, Location, Location! And the Princesses! The food is last on that totem pole. Thank you for sharing this experience. 🏰 👸 👸👸🏻🍛
Kristen, you’re right, you should’ve gotten more for the price, but i do love that you were able to use the sword you received there to hold your mic!! ❤️
I dined with my family in '78---we were all adults. King Stefan's Banquet Hall was its name originally. Mom and I ordered the French onion soup which ended up making us run for every bathroom down Main Street. We barely then made it to the Polynesian Village and fought for being first one to use our hotel bathroom! Great times😑
I remember those. You also drank out of silver toned goblets. Then they moved to jewel tone goblets and the butter was a 3-d Mickey in the 80's. Good times. 😂
I took my daughter here on her first Disney trip in 2008 when she was 8 years old. It was nice then but at this point, not again. We haven’t been there since. Definitely not worth the high price but happy we went once! We went for breakfast, which was a much better choice for picky eaters.
Everyone get off your pedestal, Kristen is giving you a preview of the restaurant before you book and is giving HER HONEST OPINION, she even disclaimed it before anything happened, if you don’t appreciate her honest review, then respect it because she payed her hard earned money for this. ❤
The Price is pricey, but the pass did help offset it, if the shoe fit, the jumbo shrimp are huge if you're a child, the view was nice, the dollar tree drinking glass, it's nice that you both had a sense of humor, Kristen, love the straightforward opinions
For sure! But at $100+ the food should also be pretty dang good. It is definitely convenient not having to wait in lines to meet the princesses though.
I think you should have tried a cocktail! Theme restaurants can be intimidating, especially when you’re worked up over the high cost! A drink can kinda let you relax enough to enjoy the moment. It’s a restaurant but it’s also an experience.
We went for breakfast 18 years ago. It was plain breakfast food but we loved the castle, meeting the characters, a photo with Cinderella and the gifts... a sword, wand, and 2 little wishing stars. They were a magnet that lit up. ❤ I can't believe how much it costs to go now!!
We did breakfast at Akershus a few months ago and my girls loved it. The food was fantastic, the price was a little cheaper and we had great interactions with 5 princesses'. I really enjoy seeing you and your brother together, you guys are really fun.
We went with our girls and did breakfast. We had reservations before park open and my girls loved walking in thru the velvet rope at the park gate. I loved having no one on Main Street for castle pics. Being able to knock out so many princesses at once was great and we were lucky enough for a window table too! Worth it to do once to see the magic in my kids eyes
Going to my first Disney World trip next month ever, I’m a Disneyland vet. I was able to find a reservation for Cinderella’s table so I booked it. I looked at the menu and nothing really stands out, but I’m really going for the atmosphere of being inside the castle. At Disneyland, we only have a walk through attraction that just goes inside the castle, I just want to take the opportunity to do things that are unique at WDW.
"I'll drink my Diet Coke out of this Dollar Tree looking glass..." 🤣 🤣You kill me!! 🤣 I have boys who dont care about princesses, so i've escaped this one so far. But, i feel like I'm not a real WDW fan unless i do it once 😅 Maybe when they're old enough to hang on their own for an hour while i eat! LOL
Hi Kristen, I love how you just keep it real, haven’t stopped watching your videos because of that. You’re an amazing / Funny person , I laughed so much with this video lol . I’m a family of 6 so we need to know if the food is good before spending and arm n a leg, I’m pretty sure it’s that much because of the experience. Thank you for this ❤
We go here every trip because my husband loves the filet mignon so much! I also love the potato pave! (Don’t change it! 😅) Our braised beef has always been perfect too. I prefer it over the shrimp for sure because 4 isn’t a good value. I think nighttime takes it up a notch too.
Was there on vacation in 2022 with family of 5 adults. Pricey yes. But it was part of a Disney experience we wanted to be part of. Great memories, photos, and videos that I enjoy watching 😊
Took my girls here for breakfast about 20 years ago bec. we had a free dining package. Tbh, none of us really remember it. The only thing I do remember is we never went back, and I am sure it was bec. of the price. I do remember doing Akershus once and that was a much better princess interaction experience, but my kids didn't eat much there. That being said, we always did at least 2 or 3 character dining experiences per trip bec. we hated waiting on lines to meet characters so for me it was worth it. Again, full transparency, we often coordinated our trips with free dining promotions. We did tend to frequent ones multiple times if the kids enjoyed the food there. So Crystal Palace was every trip even though my kids were not Pooh fans. We liked the character interactions, but chose ones for the food offerings.
I ate at Cinderella castle a couple of years ago on my first DW trip. We were also two grown adults eating lunch and we got a window table too. It was expensive and the portions were small but it was an experience. When we went, we only saw Cinderella downstairs and I think the Beast may have made an appearance but I don’t remember seeing any other characters. We definitely didn’t have any come up to us. I would prefer spending that much money on another meal but I was on vacation visiting for my first time so no ragrets 😂
Hi! First time commenter, we like to watch your channel! We’re Floridians (Palm Beach) and I think there might a perspective difference. As parents of a now 11 year old girl, we’ve been to Cinderella’s table countless times. The vast majority of the cost is the “show” or experience of your child meeting all of their favorite princesses INSIDE the castle. I feel like reviewing Cinderella’s Table as just a $104 meal, is always going to lead to disappointment. If you look at it as a $54 meal with a $50 meet and greet it makes more sense. Best of luck to you!
I’d like to doubt How are you living palm beach with an 11 yr old daughter i thought only retirees live there? Unless you adopted in which case congrats
The first and only time we went there was in the mid 90s with our two children. After a long day, I ordered a glass of wine with the meal and my husband ordered a beer. We were told in no uncertain terms by the waiter, "Sir and madam, we don't serve alcohol in the Magic Kingdom." 😂😂😂 How times change. Appreciate the honest review. The food should still be great for the price regardless of the target audience.
No one goes to character dinners for the food. The majority of your price to dine is for the experience of being in the castle and meeting the characters!
Really enjoyed the video, you always give a fair appraisal. I have seen a couple of other videos on Cinderella’s Castle and both mentioned that, although not advertised, it is an all you care to enjoy meal, so you can have more than one dish in each course. This may have stopped now. Take care.
I wonder if they seat the smaller parties by the windows? I went with just my daughter and I and we had (I believe) the same table as you. My daughter LOVED the experience. The menu was different at the time. But I do believe the kiddos don’t care about the food as much as the experience, I definitely think it’s worth it with a little girl-at least once 😅
We had the same table when my daughter and I had dinner at CRT for my birthday in December. The view was great, sadly, it was downpouring. However, the experience was amazing and I enjoyed the food.
So far i haven’t seen you enjoy eating anything at 4 restaurants. Lol thanks for your honest review and saving me from eating mundane overpriced park food lol
I know it comes with the territory but it’s so noisy in there! I guess the kids enjoy the princess experience though. A real dining experience is probably best enjoyed off premises.
I sat at that exact table for my 30th birthday breakfast!! I loved it. Best part was this little girl was giving me a dirty look when i got my birthday cupcake. I love that picture. It certainly wasn't that expensive years ago.
what happened to the cheese cake that looked like two pieces of cheddar cheese with strawberries on the side and the graham cracker crumble in the middle?
We watch you all of the time, but you are not the demographic that this dining experience is made for. Yes, it is expensive, but you don’t go for the food. You go for the experience. I have a son and we took him on our first trip to Disney when he was four. He is now 15 and I will never forget the interaction with the princesses. A core memory was created and it was worth every penny.
@@wrightdownmainstreet I really wanted to like Space 220- especially for the price. But our experience was terrible and the food sucked :( also no AP discount for dinner but there is for lunch?! So dumb
Just keep in mind that if you eat at Cinderella’s Castle with at least 1 Little Girl, be sure that the Girl wears a Princess Dress so that the Princesses can see the Dress.
Kristen is on top of her "undisclosed mayo" alerts 🤣. She's makes a good point though. If the menu is going to list what is in the dish, they should list everything and not leave you wondering.
Can’t believe the price of that. The only time I’ve been was when I had free dining and tip was included. No way would I pay that now. Also Merida’s accent is terrible surely they could have gotten an actual Scottish girl to do it
lol I have never watched your channel but if I were sitting by you I would have moved. I would be so happy to take my children and make memories with them and not worry about the cost
For salty 20-30 year olds without kids… probably a no go. But if you got kids this is a once in a lifetime must do. I’m waiting for my granddaughters to get old enough to go.
I’m 30 with no kids and I’m not waiting for kids to go. Ima just go. Taking my first trip to WDW next month and solo. Life is short. No reason to not do things. My goal is to visit every Disney park around the world. I don’t care what people say about Disney adults, ima live my life however I want. Walt created Disney parks for families and everyone to enjoy, it ain’t just for kids. It’s for the young and young at heart.
There needs to be a Disney Villain characters dining meet & greet.
That would be really cool! The only character dining that has a villain now is Storybook Dining (evil queen)

Old lady here, I dined in the castle when it was still called King Stefan’s and you could just walk up. IIRC, I was shocked at the $14 price 😂
same here. I dined as a child in the late 70's. The only memory I have of the meal was the fancy butter medallions.
I remember those. You also drank out of silver toned goblets. Then they moved to jewel tone goblets and the butter was a 3-d Mickey in the 80's. Good times. 😂

Took my daughter that year as well. She was 6. The food was terrible. A gross hot dog and food of that ilk. I’m glad to see the food has improved.

Might have to go Jersey on the viewers with the negative comments

For sure! But at $100+ the food should also be pretty dang good. It is definitely convenient not having to wait in lines to meet the princesses though.

How are you living palm beach with an 11 yr old daughter i thought only retirees live there? Unless you adopted in which case congrats
@@Fellowrser ummm, I guess you’re trying to illicit a response?
You should have jokingly said to the manager “can you do something about all these kids in here?” 😂
I laughed at Ryan reminding you about going to V&A. In your defense, their price was all about the food! 🤣
from "dollar store glass" to "cow hoof or cow pie", this was one of the funniest reviews.
The first and only time we went there was in the mid 90s with our two children. After a long day, I ordered a glass of wine with the meal and my husband ordered a beer.

Agreed, but I feel like Tusker House is the only exception to this
I go to Topolino’s breakfast & Storybook Dining for the food. I feel like at an extreme price the food should be pretty solid too
Love this!! Thank you Kristen!!
Thanks for watching Megan!
Really enjoyed the video, you always give a fair appraisal. I have seen a couple of other videos on Cinderella’s Castle and both mentioned that, although not advertised, it is an all you care to enjoy meal, so you can have more than one dish in each course. This may have stopped now. Take care.
I thought about asking just in case it was, but honestly wasn’t that hungry so didn’t need the extra food
Would love to see you review the princess dining Akershus in EPCOT next! 👑👸🏻
I agree with you on Hollywood and Vine! When we went we saw each character numerous times!!
Hollywood & Vine is the best if you’re looking for great character interaction
I wonder if they seat the smaller parties by the windows? I went with just my daughter and I and we had (I believe) the same table as you. My daughter LOVED the experience.

We had a very late reservations. Yes, the food is small portion for the price. It is the experience.
We had the same table when my daughter and I had dinner at CRT for my birthday in December. The view was great, sadly, it was downpouring. However, the experience was amazing and I enjoyed the food.
For all you new people …Kristen is always brutally honest and Ryan is just never happy 😃
Ryan is the happiest!
So far i haven’t seen you enjoy eating anything at 4 restaurants. Lol thanks for your honest review and saving me from eating mundane overpriced park food lol
I had that same table during the firework for my now wife 23 birthday it definitely was worth it
You should trademark or patent the sword microphone holder.😂 Enjoying living vicariously through your videos.
What a bargain!!! 🧚
I know it comes with the territory but it’s so noisy in there! I guess the kids enjoy the princess experience though. A real dining experience is probably best enjoyed off premises.
You got your wish!!! It cost less than you thought! 😂
Great video!
Thank you for this vlog. I am not a fan of character dining. Then again, I have never tried it. Never know. Looking forward to your next vlog.
Pretty sure I saw you in La Cava del Tequila last Thursday. Didn’t want to interrupt. But I’ll say hello now. 👋🏼
Not the dollar tree glass shade 😂
Ryan’s wish came true. His meal cost less. You received an AP discount. 😂 Thanks for the fun!
Poor Ryan, he took one for the team. Kristen, you’d better remember that!
Kristen, I used my wishing star to wish for Nate 😂
Still waiting 😂😂😂
Can you do via Napoli for your next Epcot dinner? I hope I didn’t miss the video!
I have actually been trying to but can never get a res!
I sat at that exact table for my 30th birthday breakfast!! I loved it. Best part was this little girl was giving me a dirty look when i got my birthday cupcake. I love that picture. It certainly wasn't that expensive years ago.
Best table ever!!

What’s wrong with mayo?

First one here! Hi, Kristin!!
HI 👋🏼

Space 220
@@wrightdownmainstreet I really wanted to like Space 220- especially for the price. But our experience was terrible and the food sucked :( also no AP discount for dinner but there is for lunch?! So dumb
What did you eat there when you were kids?
I don’t remember what I specifically ate, but currently they do have a kids menu with steak, chicken tenders, mac & cheese
Hate to say it, but after that $124 afternoon tea at Cake Bake Shop why does this feel like a bargain?! 😂
How much does it cost buying all different snacks and drinks at the festivals?
Snacking around the festivals can get pretty pricey
Filet mignon well done? That should be illegal!!
cmon Kristen you should have worn a Belle dress again.
Ya know, I thought about it 😅
Did Kirsten tape her microphone to her sword?😂
I had to use the prop I was given. I was being resourceful 😂
@@wrightdownmainstreet Very Smart! And Creative on that! 😂 also love the video!
Just keep in mind that if you eat at Cinderella’s Castle with at least 1 Little Girl, be sure that the Girl wears a Princess Dress so that the Princesses can see the Dress.
worth it NO see easy
It does say corn pueree on the menu. Still I love the video. The menu, eh!
It says it on the menu online, but I just checked & it doesn’t say it on the printed menu 😅

Undisclosed mayo 😂
She needs a custom Tshirt that says “Disclose your Mayo!” A funny insider joke.
For salty 20-30 year olds without kids… probably a no go. But if you got kids this is a once in a lifetime must do. I’m waiting for my granddaughters to get old enough to go.

You're being real critical about the price of a restaurant no one made you go to. And the "dollar store glass" comment was unnecessary.
Just givin my honest review
