1900 Park Fare or Crystal Palace for Breakfast

[lovespekes]

Looking to make breakfast reservations for our trip in March. Which do you prefer 1900 PF or CP? Besides hoping for ressies for the Wishes Dessert party, deciding on breakfast should be my last decision!

Thanks!

1900 park fare is great!! We loved it last year, probably our favorite character breakfast. good options and wonderful character interaction.

Thanks Princess! We dined at CP last time and loved it but was hoping to try a different place. Would love to see Alice and the Mad Hatter!

We love both of them so it is hard to choose. 1900 Park Fare has the Mad Hatter which is always hilarious and the food there is awesome. Crystal Palace has Pooh and Friends (my personal favorites) and their food is equally as good....I would give a notch towards Crystal Palace only because if you can get an ADR for before the park opens, then it is that much better . Good luck, you can't go wrong with either of them.

Depends on which characters you would like to see. I have eaten at both for breakfast and they are both my favorite. If you've already experienced CP then I would give 1900 park fare a go BUT....getting into the MK early is always a plus BUT... if you went to 1900 park fare you would be pretty close.... You can't go wrong at either place imo.

We like both.We will be in WDW during and the week before 4th of July days at WDW. Summer heat and rain in the afternoons.
We like early AM's and late nights. But not on the same day.

We do CP on and early EMH day. We get great picture of an empty MK, plus Pooh, Piglet, Eyeore and Tigger.
We have an 8:10 ADR on a 9 am Mk opening day.
Breakfast has breakfast items like: fruit, danish, cereal, Mickey waffles, eggs,breads, muffins, casseroles, ham,....

We do 1900 PF on a late night EMH MK day. MK will be open till 1 am. We have a 7 pm ADR at 1900 PF. We will then monorail, after dinner, to a wonderful cool late night in MK. We also get to see Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella. They have a great dinner buffet.

CP. And we dont' really care about Pooh and Company. The food is good, but the early park access is PRICELESS!

Agree with PP's. CP is the best for EMH mornings. The food is good, the access into MK before RD is fantastic, and the character interaction is great.

I also heard an older couple at CP say to their waitress that they didn't need the characters stopping by their table (they said it nicely) and the waitress relayed their request. None of the characters bothered them and the couple was in and out before 9am.

CP is better than 1900 Park Fare. I think the pp meant to say it's best for an 8AM breakfast on non-EMH mornings - that way you have a mostly empty Main Street.

We enjoy the food equally at both, but I would try (at least once) the experience of an early ressie at CP just to see and enjoy the magic of an empty MK Also, the photo ops are great
