1900 Park Fare or Crystal Palace?

[Bella34]

Ok, I thought we had our PS all set for our November trip & then the hours were posted! MK is open later than I thought on a few nights. We originally had a dinner at 'Ohana on our arrival day and dinner at 1900 Park Fare on the second night. I wanted to switch the two but cannot get a PS for 1900 Park Fare on our arrival day. I really wanted to eat here because I have read some great reviews and I wanted to order the slipper and dog bone desserts for my DD's.

Will I be happy if I switch to Crystal Palace in place of 1900 PF? The reviews lately have not been that great. Should I leave my PS like I have them or switch from 1900 PF to Crystal Palace? Expert opinions please !: :

I would be more apt to go to CP I think...the last time we were 1900 Park Fare the service wasn't all that great, and the kids left a little peeved because Prince Charming passed by our table while they were getting food, {dh was at the table and told him they'd be right back, assuming he'd swing right back by like they usually do}, and then never came back. I was a little upset too, I love pics of Ds w/Prince Charming. Also, my dh can't find very much to eat there, he's very picky...myself on the other hand, I find TOO much. Anyway, unless the special desserts are pretty important, which I understand, I would do CP.

ETA: It was at the end of the night when Prince Charming passed by, so when he finished, he was GONE, gone, not just busy at other tables!

We loved 1900 Park Fare. We had an earlier seating. Prince Charming and the mice (Suzy and Perla) kept coming back around to all the tables when we were there in Jan. I am a picky eater, but I found plenty to eat. My entire family enjoyed this meal. There were 9 of us there that night (4 adults and 5 kids). I thought it was much more relaxed than some of the other character meals we normally go to. I often feel they are trying to rush you out so they can seat the next dinners. I must say that I prefer character meals that include "face" characters. I like seeing the interaction between my children and the characters. My nephew seemed to really like meeting a "boy" character... I think he may have been a little "princessed out"! I would choose the the meal that was the most convenient for you park plans.

We have PS for CP our first night and just saw that the park hours are later than we expected also. Our PS is for 5:40, so I think we will be done just about the time Spectro is starting. Is that correct?? Will we be mobbed? I am getting a little worried also.

Crystal Palace for sure. I think 1900 has lapsed a bit recently or perhaps I hit a bad day.
