1900 Park or The Crystal Palace for Breakfeast?

What Would you Pick and Why?

I would pick Crystal Palace for early breakfast, before the park opens. We just did this in May 2010...had an 8:05 reservation when park opened at 9:00. Was great breakfast, great character interactions, great service...and great fun to walk into a very empty Magic Kingdom (although there are other people in the park going to breakfast at CP, and going to BBB and going to castle breakfast...it is remarkably empty. Very easy to get photos with castle in the background and NO other people in your pic.) Also, with that early breakfast, you're done eating before the park opens and can go wait at a rope-drop area inside the park --we waited just outside Fantasyland for the park to open so were 2nd in line at Peter Pan. Also wonderful...DH went to get fastpasses at Splash Mountain. He was 2nd in line there.

I picked both as we ended up with 2 days to spend at MK.

When we only had 1 day at MK - we choose Crystal Place for the same reasons as the PP stated. So many DIS'ers suggested it when I asked, and now I'm really looking forward to it. I can hardly wait for that early walk through the park and to quickly be at Dumbo just after rope drop.

When we ended up being able to have a 2nd day at MK, I choose 1900 Park Fare with a later breakfast time. We plan to sleep in and take our time that morning. Then finish the rest of MK and enjoy the evening back at Dig Site.
