I was wondering if this is worth going to? Also do they have crab legs everyday or just certain days. We were probably looking to go there on a saturday! TIA
 
Crab legs are there everyday. They have days for fried shrimps, calamari, clam strips. They have a rotation for pasta too.
 
We've done the breakfast buffet there a few times. But never the dinner because the place just smells so fishy. It's hard to just walk past it.
 
We do not recommend this particular buffet. The crab legs were small and some cold so very difficult to get much meat. Rest of the food was subpar and the non-seafood stuff was very subpar, which wasn't good for our sons. I found it to be very similar to a Golden Corral or similar low-quality buffet. We won't go again. If considering a Disney buffet then our choice would be Boma.
 

I was so disappointed when we ate there. The crab legs weren't worth the time or the effort. They were sooo small! Didn't care for the rest of the food either. Seemed very cheap for a lot of money.
 
We stayed at the BC but didn't eat there. Only one member of our family eats crabs or much seafood at all. Everytime I walked by there at night there were tons of buckets of crab legs.
 
We ate there in April and enjoyed it. I didn't notice any fishy smell. It is pricey but we were on DDP so it wasn't as big of a deal. I don't know if I would pay OOP for it but overall it left a positive impression and we enjoyed it.
 
I am another that was not impressed at all with Cape May. The food offerings are your typical institutional buffet food offerings made for mass quantities of people and placed on serving stations; very average at best. The crab legs from my experience were cold, stringy and anorexic. The local Chinese buffet near me offers better crab legs. I will admit I am not a fan at all of buffets but there are a few that I do enjoy such as Boma or Biergarten, but Cape May is not one of those.
 
WE ate at Cape May and enjoyed it, but our expectations were in line with reality. I am not a huge buffet fan. I don't expect stellar food. The food at Cape May was plentiful and refreshed frequently and the setting is very nice. I would go again, if I was looking for a buffet dinner.
 
We are there in may, It was very good! My sister had just shrimps because she is allergic to others seafood items and she was very happy with The food! Give us marinated olives and good cheese, We are in heaven! The crab legs were dawn good, i bring my pair of cisors just for It. The desserts are fantastic, The best after Ohana bread pudding and Yak and Yeti wonton dessert.
 
We were there back in January and again last month and both times it was VERY good!

Cape May has been a must do for our family for the last 5 years and I can honestly say, we've never had a disappointing meal. I happen to love the crab legs and can honestly say that in all of our trips I have yet to encounter cold, meatless crabs.

We are not huge buffet fans but it is the one place on Disney property that we make an exception for and we've pretty much tried them all, including Boma which, with the exception of my husband, we didn't care for.
 
Cape May is a must do for my family and the food & service have always been great. I am not sure where cold crab legs are coming from, you can watch them dump them right out of the steamer or whatever they are cooked in
 
We ate there in May and the only drawback was the price for our two kids who really didn't eat much. I actually contemplated leaving the older one at OKW because I knew he wouldn't like it. But since it was Mother's day and his mother and grandmother were both there he went. I think he ate crackers and maybe a bit of chicken. As for the rest of us we enjoyed our meals very much. DW and I would like to go back.
 
We enjoy Cape May, they have had the crab legs every time we have went. The crab legs aren't the greatest, but if you looking for all you can eat, then this is the place. Fulton's has some really good crab legs.
 
Ate there 9/13 (8 days ago) and the buffet was excellent. Crab legs, fried shrimp, steamed clams, and the crab legs were hot. Had the garlic mashed-potatoes and green beans and mac-and-cheese. Food was warm/hot, did not have a bad smell (fishy) as some on here suggested. Dang, I wish I was there again. Also had the prime rib. No complaints except with the dessert bar...had too many calories and I couldn't resist.
 
We ate there on 9/10 and it was excellent. Ii don't like crab legs so I can't comment on that but my husband had them and I did not hear anything bad about them and he will let me know if he's unhappy about his food. I love clam strips, so I make sure we go on one of the days those are offered, I also love their paella. The pistachio cheesecake is one of the best desserts I had on our trip. Cape May is a must do for my family every trip, my husband would probably refuse to come with us if I didn't schedule it haha.
 
The pistachio cheesecake is one of the best desserts I had on our trip.

I didn't find out until I got back home Saturday that the desserts at WDW are full of calories. ::yes:: And the cheesecake, every one of them, is full-fat, not low-fat.

Also found out while doing the KttK tour, that a turkey leg has 2400 calories.
