Crystal Palace? and B? L? or D?

My sister really wants to eat at Crystal Palace. I am not really sold on it. Is the quality of food better than Chef Mickeys?

She is really interested so we will go there. What meal would you recommend and why?

CP is better. The question of which meal is more a matter of personal preference to me. I rarely eat large breakfasts. If I do it's more of a brunch. I have done that once at CP. We usually do CM as our meal on our departure day. CP has an omelet station and stuffed french toast which which both outshine anything I have had at CM.

Dinner I go with CP again. A broader variety of food and a lighter atmosphere. Lunch has many of the same components as dinner minus a few items. The selling point is that those few items saves you around $10 including tax and tip over dinner. I prefer dinner because it fits better with how we tour the parks.

We love lunch or dinner at CP. My kids like the peel and eat shrimp at dinner and the hot selections are usually a few more at dinner with more desserts.

We schedule based on a time factor. If we are doing rope drop we do lunch or if it is a late EMH day we will go to dinner. Both are good.

I MUCH prefer CP over CM. The quality of the food is just so much better plus if you get an early breakfast before the park opens you get Main St. to yourselves and who wouldn't like that? We have eaten there for breakfast more times than we've done lunch. But I LOVE their lunch better than breakfast.

We perfer CP. We tried CM for dinner last year and I was not impressed. I felt like I was eating at a Golden Corral. The breakfast at CP was great. My daughter loved the characters. I do not think we will go back to CM again. This was a first and last try. Will be back to CP over and over again...

Definitely dinner at CP!! I love it. The buffet is good, the atmosphere is quite cute and the characters...even if you don't love character dinning it is cute!!

Agree CP is the way to go. Have enjoyed both lunch and dinner there in the past. Did CM once for dinner and was very disappointed.

Have not done dinner at CM, but dinner at CP was, in my opinion, several steps above your standard buffet. The food really was delicious!

Thanks everyone!

I am glad we tried CM last time but I dont think we will ever do it again. I am also glad the food is better at CP. I am still not sure if we will do breakfast to see Main St. empty or dinner for the buffet.

Oh well I still have LOTS of time to figure it out.

Thanks again!

We've done Crystal Palace on every single trip and done Chef Mickey's only once.
You do the math....

We ate at Crystal Palace for breakfast and it was so good. We are going again in May and plan on breakfast and dinner. I think the breakfast gets the best reviews, but I think it's generally good food for any meal.

Another vote for CP. I also feel their food is much better than CM. We have never done breakfast however, both lunch and dinner are great.
