We've eaten at Cinderella's Royal Table and it was definitely a great experience. However, given the expense, for us, it's not a meal for every trip. We've opted to eat at Akershus instead and we've been happy with that decision. My kids aren't super picky with food so the menu choices haven't really been a factor for us. While eating in Cinderella's castle is cool, Akershus is modeled after a medieval castle so technically, you are in a castle. It's just not Cindy's castle. I took these pictures of the inside from our table.
So here's how lunch works - you pay a fixed amount per person and for that you receive unlimited buffet (includes items such as cheeses, meats, salad and fruit), a plated entree and then dessert served to your table family style. I didn't take a picture of my buffet selections but I did enjoy the Jarlsberg cheese (my favorite cheese) and grilled asparagus. My entree was the chicken sandwich, which was super tasty.
Our table was given two plates of these desserts - rice pudding with a strawberry sauce, apple cake with whipped cream and a chocolate mousse thing. You better believe I "sampled" all three.
The girls met Belle before we were seated. Unfortunately, I spazzed out and didn't get a decent photo of that. During our meal, four other princesses came around.
When the meal ended, the girls were happy and we were happy. Until the bill came. Ack!
I'll end with the many faces of Anna.
Up next - More Epcot

I love Anna's smile in the picture with Sleeping Beauty!! (And the final two photos, of course)
Ok, so why Ack on the bill? I thought it was cheaper that Cinderella, etc?
I know, Cynthia - love it too!
Berty - while it is less expensive than Cinderella's castle and we had a good meal, it's Disney so it's still a good chunk of change. And we were not on the dining plan.
Your food reviews always make me hungry!

What was your side dish? Is that a fancy coleslaw or something?
Holly, makes me hungry too!
Teej - it was a pickled slaw. Pretty good - I put some of it on the sandwich. They've since changed the menu and the side is now a warm potato salad.
We're heading to Disney in 2 weeks & your posts are getting me so fired up!
We ate at Akershus in 2012. I asked my girls if they wanted to eat there again this time & my oldest (10 years old) said, "No way! Snow White was a hot mess and had lipstick on her dress". So... I guess it made an impression.
