A Table is Waiting was a dinner show held daily at American Waterfront's SS Columbia Harbor in Tokyo DisneySea. It was first introduced in 2008 as part of the Disney À La Carte event, then reintroduced as a permanent show in 2011 as a part of Tokyo DisneySea’s 10th anniversary with a new Lumiere costume (it was later re-used in Tokyo Disneyland's current stage show Mickey's Magical Music World), updated performer outfits, and new Mickey and Minnie outfits.
A Christmas version, A Table is Waiting: Christmas Cuisine, was introduced in 2012. A Table is Waiting: Christmas Cuisine was updated in 2013 with additional narrator audio, new music in the introduction, new Christmas decorations and a new finale.
