BREAKING NEWS: Cinderella’s Royal Table SOFT OPENING TODAY for Walk-Ups!
We’ve got some VERY exciting news Disney friends! Our MickeyBlogger is coming to you live from the Magic Kingdom today. During our visit we noticed that there was a bustle of activity happening at Cinderella’s Royal Table with servers and maitre d’s in place at the front desk. So naturally we had to stop in and see what was going on!
The servers on hand excitedly told us that though Cinderella’s Royal Table officially opens to the public tomorrow they are DOING A SOFT OPENING TODAY!
They began seating guests at 11:30 today. Obviously because it is a soft opening no reservations are expected.
Walk-ups will be accepted using the walk-up dining reservation component of the My Disney Experience app.
As you can see from these two images, we were able to log onto My Disney Experience right at 11:30 to make a reservation.
At 11:30 there was only a 5 minute wait!
