If your child is obsessed with Disney Princesses, there’s a good chance Auberge de Cendrillon is already high on your Disneyland Paris wish list.

Princess Dining at Disneyland Paris is one of the most sought-after reservations and we completely understand why. Between the beautiful fairytale setting, the relaxed princess interactions and the elegant French-inspired food, it genuinely felt like one of the most magical experiences of our trip.

We’ve experienced Princess Dining multiple times with our children, so here’s our full 2026 Auberge de Cendrillon review including the current menu, prices, princesses, breakfast details and whether we think it’s worth the high price tag.

What is Auberge de Cendrillon?

Auberge de Cendrillon, or Cinderella’s Inn, is the iconic Disney Princess restaurant inside Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris.

Located in Fantasyland beside Sleeping Beauty Castle, the restaurant is themed like a royal medieval banquet hall with stained glass windows, grand chandeliers, stone archways and princess artwork throughout. Cinderella’s carriage sits in the courtyard outside and is one of the loveliest photo spots in Fantasyland.

Guests enjoy a three-course meal while Disney Princesses visit each table for photos, autographs and chats throughout the dining experience.

Which Princesses Appear at Auberge de Cendrillon?

Character lineups at Auberge de Cendrillon can vary from day to day and Disneyland Paris never guarantees specific characters or a specific number of princesses.

With Plaza Gardens, the popular character dining restaurant in Disneyland Park, currently closed for refurbishment, the character lineup at Auberge de Cendrillon has been adjusted. Mickey Mouse now makes regular appearances during Princess Dining, often replacing one of the Princesses.

At the moment, guests can typically expect:

  • Princess Breakfast: Mickey Mouse plus 2 Disney Princesses
  • Lunch and Dinner: Mickey Mouse, 3 Disney Princesses and Cinderella’s mice, Suzy and Perla

That said, lineups can and do change regularly and the number of Princesses can vary.

On our most recent visit, we met:

  • Cinderella
  • Rapunzel
  • Aurora
  • Mickey Mouse
  • Suzy and Perla
Jasmine at Auberge de Cendrillon

Cinderella frequently appears at Auberge de Cendrillon, while Aurora, Ariel, Rapunzel and Snow White are also common. Merida and Tiana appear less frequently, as do Jasmine and Mulan.

Anna and Elsa do not currently appear at Auberge de Cendrillon or any dining experience.

One thing we really loved was how relaxed the interactions felt. Unlike the Princess Pavilion, where you queue for a single photo, the characters spend several minutes at each table chatting, posing for photos and signing autographs throughout the meal.

The princesses and characters made such a fuss of our children and it never felt rushed.

Auberge de Cendrillon Menu (2026)

Menus at Auberge de Cendrillon change seasonally, although guests can expect elegant French-inspired cuisine with meat, fish and vegan options available.

  • €100 per adult
  • €120 with wine pairing included

The children’s menu (ages 3 to 11) is currently €50.

The menu also clearly marks vegan dishes, which is great to see at Disneyland Paris.

Auberge de Cendrillon Kids Menu

The children’s menu is much more child-friendly than the adult menu and includes familiar options alongside the themed presentation.

On our latest visit, the children’s menu included:

  • Pumpkin soup with Kiri open sandwich
  • Smoked salmon roll with Kiri cheese
  • Thyme chicken
  • Tropical sole fillet
  • Vegetable gnocchi
  • Cinderella’s Surprise dessert

Children’s meals also included drinks such as water, milk, apple juice and orange juice.

Before visiting, we were slightly worried our children wouldn’t enjoy such a French-inspired menu, but they actually did really well with the food. The themed desserts were a huge hit and there were enough familiar options that it never felt stressful.

Is Auberge de Cendrillon Worth it?

Princess Dining is undeniably expensive and it’s definitely one of the biggest splurges at Disneyland Paris. As adults, we really enjoy the food, but our own children don’t eat a huge amount of what’s on offer and I suspect many families feel the same!

That said, we absolutely love the experience and, for us, it’s much more about the Princess interactions than the meal itself.

For us, the experience combines:

  • multiple Princess meet and greets
  • a premium sit-down meal
  • beautiful fairytale theming
  • relaxed character interactions
  • no stressful queueing

If meeting Princesses is a huge priority for your family, Auberge de Cendrillon is one of the easiest and most relaxed ways to do it.

The Princess Pavilion still often involves long waits and only guarantees meeting one Princess. At Auberge de Cendrillon, the Princesses come directly to your table throughout the meal, meaning you can enjoy multiple character interactions without spending hours standing in line.

We spent almost two hours enjoying a leisurely lunch and genuinely loved every minute of it. For our family, it ended up being one of those really special Disneyland Paris memories that the kids still talk about afterwards.

Regal View vs Auberge de Cendrillon

Princess fans now have another dining option at Disneyland Paris: Regal View Restaurant in Disney Adventure World. The pricing is the same as Auberge de Cendrillon.

While Auberge de Cendrillon feels like a traditional royal banquet experience inside Fantasyland, Regal View has a much more modern feel overlooking Adventure Bay.

The biggest difference is the character styling. At Regal View, some princesses appear in their village outfits rather than their traditional gowns, which gives the experience a very different atmosphere.

The line up at Regal View typically includes:

  • Merida or Jasmine usually appear in their classic gowns
  • Three princesses in their village-inspired outfits: Aurora, Belle, Ariel and Mulan have all appeared in their village-inspired outfits

If your family absolutely loves princesses (and it’s within budget), the two dining experiences actually complement each other really well.

La Table de Lumière vs Auberge de Cendrillon

Another royal dining experience at Disneyland Paris is La Table de Lumière in the Disneyland Hotel. Unlike Auberge de Cendrillon, which focuses primarily on Disney Princesses, La Table de Lumière features appearances from Royal Couples including Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Prince Phillip, and Belle alongside Prince Adam. The setting feels much more elegant and luxurious, inspired by the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles and the ballroom from Beauty and the Beast.

Dinner is currently priced at €120 for adults and €60 for children. Reservations are primarily reserved for Disneyland Hotel guests, but if availability remains, other guests can sometimes secure a table by enquiring directly at City Hall or the Disneyland Hotel concierge during their trip.

Is Auberge de Cendrillon Worth it for Disneyland Hotel Guests?

Guests staying at the Disneyland Hotel have several exclusive princess experiences available to them including:

  • Disney Royal Encounter
  • Princess appearances in the hotel lobby
  • Castle Club guests have the princesses attend breakfast

That said, Auberge de Cendrillon still feels very unique. The fairytale Fantasyland setting, the atmosphere inside the restaurant and the slower pace of the interactions make it very different to the hotel experiences.

It’s also included in some Disneyland Paris meal plans, which can help offset the cost.

Princess Breakfast at Auberge de Cendrillon

Breakfast is a less expensive option and the food is more likely to appeal to everyone, even fussy eaters! Breakfast currently includes Mickey Mouse plus two Disney Princesses – because Plaza Gardens character dining is currently unavailable, breakfast at Auberge de Cendrillon is one of the hardest dining reservations to secure at Disneyland Paris.

Breakfast sittings usually take place at:

  • 8:15am (Disney Hotel guests and Gold Annual Pass holders)
  • 9:45am

Because Plaza Gardens character dining is currently unavailable, Auberge de Cendrillon breakfast is especially popular with families hoping to meet Mickey Mouse alongside the princesses.

How to Book Auberge de Cendrillon

Princess Dining reservations are extremely competitive.

Guests staying at Disney Hotels can usually reserve much earlier than offsite guests, which is one of the biggest benefits of staying onsite at Disneyland Paris.

Guests staying offsite can usually book closer to their arrival date through the Disneyland Paris app, subject to availability.

If Auberge de Cendrillon is a priority for your trip, we’d strongly recommend booking as soon as reservations open.

Everything Else You Need to Know

How long does Auberge de Cendrillon take?

Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours for the experience.

The meal is designed to feel relaxed and the princesses gradually rotate around the restaurant during your sitting.

Do children dress up?

Absolutely!

Many children arrive wearing princess dresses or prince costumes and it really adds to the atmosphere. Our children loved dressing up for the experience.

Adults were generally dressed casually in regular park clothes.

Is there a PhotoPass photographer?

Usually no. Guests normally take their own photos during the interactions.

Do I need a park ticket?

Yes. Auberge de Cendrillon is located inside Disneyland Park, so valid park admission is required.

Is there any way to save money on Auberge de Cendrillon?

We have a few ways to keep the cost down:

  • I only make a reservation for one parent and our children who are princess fans. My husband and son prefer to spend time in the park so there is no point paying such a premium for them when they are happy to eat anywhere!
  • We use our gold Annual Pass to save 15% on dining reservations.
  • If you have a meal plan, you can offset some (or all if you are at the Disneyland Hotel) of the cost against the meal plan.

Final Thoughts on Princess Dining at Disneyland Paris

If your child adores Disney Princesses, Auberge de Cendrillon really is a magical experience.

Between the beautiful fairytale setting, the relaxed princess interactions and the elegant food, it felt like one of the most memorable experiences from our Disneyland Paris trips.

It’s expensive, yes, but for families with huge princess fans, it can absolutely become one of those core Disney memories your children talk about for years afterwards.
