How did King's Stefan's Banquet Hall come to be at Cinderella Castle?

I love learning facts about Disney Parks and I wanted to know how King's Stefan's Banquet Hall came to be? I can't figure out why they named the restaurant after Princess Aurora's father when it was in Cinderella Castle and Disney got smart and renamed it Cinderella's Royal Table to fit the subject of the iconic castle. Who were the first characters at the very first character breakfast and dinner of King Stefan's Banquet Hall when it was first opened?. I also read in several Walt Disney World vintage travel books that Cinderella used to greet visitors at the restaurant entrance with the phrase "Welcome To My Castle" and the children's menus were pumpkin shaped and Cinderella would autograph them for the children. Was King's Stefan's Banquet Hall very popular before it became Cinderella's Royal Table? And is the menu at Cinderella's Royal Table the same food as King Stefan's Banquet Hall's or did they do changes to the menu when it was renamed Cinderella's Royal Table?
