21 Royal is a private dining experience, so there is no option to split the dining room with another party.

12 total people can dine at 21 Royal at once.

Whether or not you have an entire party of 12, you will still need to pay the full $15,000 cost of the experience.

What's Included With A 21 Royal Reservation?

For the $15,000 price tag, your experience at 21 Royal includes just a bit more than food and drinks.

Admission to Disneyland, as well as valet parking at the Grand Californian Hotel, is also included. Upon arriving at the Grand Californian you will be greeted by a VIP guide who will escort you through Disneyland to 21 Royal.

21 Royal Salon

Once you arrive at 21 Royal you'll be treated to drinks in the "salon" (lounge/living room area) of 21 Royal. Following the drinks you will be escorted to the terrace overlooking New Orleans Square and The Rivers of America before finally being taken to the main dining room.

Your evening at 21 Royal concludes with dessert back out on the terrace which provides an amazing view of the Disneyland fireworks of the incredible Fantasmic! show.

Is 21 Royal Just A Restaurant?

21 Royal is much more than a restaurant!

The space was originally conceived as a bigger space for Walt Disney and his family to live in similar to the apartment he used above Main Street.

Staying true to this origin, 21 Royal is also a beautiful two-bedroom apartment that those dining at the 21 Royal restaurant will often get to enjoy while enjoying drinks before they dine.

How Can You Sleep At 21 Royal?

Being able to sleep at 21 Royal is a bit more complicated than just dining at 21 Royal.

Known as the "Dream Suite", 21 Royal is typically invitation only for VIP celebrities, Disney Legends (Dick Van Dyke spent a night in the Dream Suite for his birthday), and other influential figures.

"Private Entrance" Sign at 21 Royal

There is no online reservation system or line to call like you would for the 21 Royal Restaurant.

Every few years, however, Disney will allow anyone to spend a night in the Dream Suite through a contest or giveaway. During the Diamond Celebration and Year of A Million Dreams, dozens of people were surprised with the opportunity to spend a night in the Dream Suite!
