Can you do bkfst and lunch at the buffets?

If we were to eat a late breakfast at Chef Mickeys or Crystal Palace, could you possibly get some lunch items once they put those out? I wasn't sure if they clear out the restaurant between breakfast and lunch.

We've done it a few times at Crystal Palace. We arrive for our lunch reservation about 2:40 and get both lunch and dinner for the price of lunch. Dinner comes out at 3PM.

My sister happened to be at Play & Dine last year, and had both breakfast & lunch items.

We had a late breakfast ADR at Crystal Palace (10:15). We weren't seated until 10:50. At 11:30, they started putting out lunch items on one side of the buffet, but no serving utensils. My daughter saw pickles and decided she wanted some. The chef served them to her. I inquired about getting some of the other lunch items, but was told that those food items weren't available to breakfast patrons. At 11:35 I observed the restaurant manager snapping at the waitstaff to get the breakfast people out ASAP, because lunch people were waiting and needed to be seated. We had only been visited by Piglet by this point, so had to ask our server and another CM if we could see the other characters before we had to leave. Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore showed up in quick succession. I had heard that late breakfast ressies could get some lunch stuff, but that wasn't the case for us during our trip last June.

I would not rush. I paid for my meal and darn it, I would take my time and enjoy it. Not snarkily, but I would not rush my experience, that's for sure.

I have seen half the buffet feature breakfast while the other half had lunch. People sitting on the 'breeakfast side' were waved off from the lunch side of the buffet.

FWIW - Chef Mickey's does not serve lunch. (Although it did last year during free dining.)
