3. The First Choice: Cinderella's Royal Table or Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Both of these restaurants often get fully booked as soon as their reservation window opens for one reason - princesses. Although Cinderella's Royal Table is usually harder to reserve because of its prime location in Cinderella's Castle, both restaurants offer elegant breakfasts, lunches, and dinners with characters like Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine, and Snow White. They are also both located in the center of Magic Kingdom and Epcot, respectfully.

The Alternative: 1900 Park Fare dinner

1900 Park Fare, located in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, has that elegant, royal feel the moment you step inside the lobby. Like Akershus, this restaurant is also a buffet, although with more standard American menu. It features Cinderella's Happily Ever After Dinner, which includes appearances by Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella. The price per person is also $10-15 cheaper than the other princess dining options, and it is also in a great location so you can easily get to Magic Kingdom or Epcot by hopping on a monorail. 

4. The First Choice: California Grill

People choose California Grill for many reasons. Located on the top floor of Disney's Contemporary Resort, it offers some of the best views of the Magic Kingdom and the surrounding area, plus it's one of the best places to view Wishes. It also has an impressive wine list and menu and offers a sophisticated Sunday brunch. Besides this, it's one of few places where you can really dress up for a fancy, adults-only dinner. No wonder it can be hard to get a reservation.

The Alternative: Narcoossee's

Narcoossee's is located in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, but like California Grill it also is located in an unusual location - out past the main building, sitting alone overlooking the Seven Seas Lagoon. But that's not it's only similarity. Both restaurants feature gourmet, seafood based menus as well as a Sunday brunch. Both also have a strict dress code. Although there are a few differences (for example, there is no sushi at Narcoosee's, although you can find a whole Maine lobster) but you can still get a fantastic view of the fireworks over the lake.
