Chef Mickey and Crystal Palace...

[scrappingtwinmom]

Is it true that dinner at either of these places now costs $59.99 for adults? That seems exorbitant! Someone say it ain't so!

When I looked it was about 37 dollars for adults at Crystal Palace. We are going there and I doubt if I would pay that much for a dinner buffet there if it was sixty dollars...
I know that we paid that for the Luau at the Polynesian resort.

Where did you get that number?

The disneyworld website has Crystal Palace as 15-35.99 per person (so I am guessing that the the $37 at dinner is about right if you add tax...maybe add $2 or so for peak season and you are at around $40 even holiday surcharge)

My sister the Queen of all Disney said she saw it and when I went to the Disney site when you go to make reservations online it says dinner $30something to $59. All the other places I looked (like on here) still says the lower number so we are quite confused. Anyone been lately??

You are correct....I just went on the disney site and it did in fact say $36 to $59.99 per person. I would think 59.99 is for occasions such as xmas day and stuff like that? i cant imagine dinner during the summer (high season) costing that much! WOW!

I think Disney keeps that kind of pricing on there as a reserve of sorts.

The fine print says "Price reflects estimated individual check average, except Character Dining and buffet locations where pricing is based on individual adult pricing. (Excludes alcohol, tax, and gratuity)".

Since this is both character dining AND buffet, the pricing is based on individual adult pricing like it says.

Allears has a menu from Jan 2011 that says $36.99 for adults at CP. I would really be shocked if it was truly $60 for dinner buffet there on a regular basis. Perhaps just special occasions like a PP said.

I was just there the end of March and the price for lunch was $24.99 for adults, I believe the sign out front said $36.99 for dinner. HTH.

That website has been wrong for months about other things....most likely I would say this is another.

Back a few months ago there were tons of threads of people complaining because many of Epcot restaurants weren't on the dining plan. Which they are, it was a mistake.
Then the website said you could only use the deluxe plan at these restaurants...again Wrong.

So I would investigate it further before assuming it is correct.

disneyworld.com says
Chef Mickey $15.99-35.99 (I assume the lowest price is child breakfast at non-holiday and highest is adult dinner non-holiday...add $4 to the holiday surcharge plus tax and you are not going to get $60)

I am sure Crystal Palace must be wrong...think about it...those are both on the DDP...which costs $47.99...there is no way Disney would let that be 1TS if it cost that much
CRT, which is 2 TS is listed at the same price

We were there last week for dinner and it was $37 for adults.

Havent been to CP but even $37 for CM is awful.

Would you pay $37 to go to your local Golden Corral?

 

[scrappingtwinmom]

Sounds like it's not $60 after all, (even $40 is high but still within the realm of possibility). I'll direct my sister here and we'll figure it out. Thanks for all the info!!

Here is the dining link from All Ears. They keep an updated account of all WDW restaurants, pricing and menus. Just scan down and click on the specific restaurants you are looking for pricing for:

I called disney dining last week to get the price on both places for dinner. The cm quoted me with taxes (in May): Chef Mickey's is 38.83 A & 19.16 C
& Crystal Palace is 43.66 A & 21.29 C.

We just did Chef Mickeys on Tuesday 4/12, the total cost of our meal for 2
adults and 2 kids was $130 includind tip for
dinner. It was worth every penny. We ended up getting a ton of one on one time with Goofy, Minnie, and Donald. We I say a ton, we had all three of them for approx 20 minutes and this was after their table walk arounds.
