Crystal Palace Breakfast Times/Advice for Touring

[srobinet]

Has anyone been to breakfast at the later morning times? I was wondering if it felt more rushed, food running out etc since they need to get ready for the lunch buffet. We have a reservation for 10:15 a.m. on a Friday in mid May. I need to do 2 character meals one with Eyore and one with Pluto. One needs to be breakfast since the cost of the dinner buffets are so high. Our other character meal will be at Garden Grill for dinner. I was also wondering how many rides we could expect to do before our 10:15 time if we get there at rope drop and go to Fantasy Land first. My plan is to save Fast Passes for early afternoon.

We are staying at Windsor Hills. We will only have one day at MK and it will be a long day as we plan to stay for the fireworks. Is this close enough to take a mid day break around 3 and then return around 5 or 6?

I often use this strategy when planning our trips. We enjoy the late breakfast seating because we are able to utilize rope drop to get a good number of rides accomplished with little wait. We have been at CP during the breakfast/lunch transition and it was not rushed at all! It was less crowded and the characters actually seemed to spend more time with us! They kept the breakfast items on one side and started putting the lunch out on the other. We could have eaten from the lunch if we wanted.....but we were full from breakfast!

We have done this many times and it works great. Enjoy!
