This is my DH's favorite breakfastspot. If it helps, here is my family's review from our trip in November:
"The list of travel companions includes:
DH, DD age 4 1/2, my parents (first-timers), DH's parents (visited WDW once in 1981), and me.
Well, it was our last day and we were all feeling a little blue, but someone on the DIS had recommended a character breakfast for the last day of vacation, so I had booked the Crystal Palace - everyone was happy that I did, especially DD, who loves Piglet (Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore were also there). My only complaint is that it is pretty noisy there, but no one else seemed to mind, and the buffet was great. Everyone's favorite item, that I've not seen anywhere else in WDW, was deep fried French toast (I'm not so sure if that's exactly what it's called!), which was very much like a beignet, and it was absolutely delicious! We all went back for seconds. This is also where they had the breakfast lasagna, which was layers of pancakes, waffles, pastry cream and fresh berries - also delicious. The rest of the offerings were the usual, and as always were hot, fresh and tasty. Of course by our last day, the old folks were starting to get mighty tired, and perhaps a little bit cranky, which might explain why FIL insisted that the scrambled eggs were salty and that "they" probably did this on purpose. This makes no sense, of course, since all beverages are included in the price. Oh well, everyone has their own conspiracy theories, don't they?
We had gotten there right after the characters had finished their rounds in our area, so we only saw each of them once, on their next time around, but that was enough to make DD very happy. Piglet stayed in the center of the restaurant and a line formed to meet with him, but it moved quickly and was never more than 4 or 5 people long. That was one of the best photos we took! DH feels that the Puffed French toast alone is worth another trip to CP, and the rest of us are inclined to agree with him! The decor inside is beautiful, too, although it doesn't make for a cozy ambience, if that's important to you. This meal was unanimously graded an A-, only because of the noise level. It will be a must on all future trips, I'm sure!"
It's definitely worth a try!
