Crystal Palace breakfast

[Ds4angels]

An acquaintance is headed down to the world and wants to do breakfast at CP, but realizes that the first hour or so is ride time for short lines. They want to get a 10:30 reservation, but are worried the breakfast will be picked over. Or will be seated late and then charged for lunch instead.
I've never done CP, so I have no advise for them. What has your experience been with a 10:30 reservation?

I am going to breakfast there in April for the first time. But I do believe that the food is constantly replenished, like any buffet. If they show up at reservation time, they will be charged breakfast price.

At 10:30 it is still breakfast. Load up plate. They will start transitioning one side to lunch items after about 10:45. By 11:30 both sides will be lunch.

10:30 ADR will be charged brekkie price

the buffet won't be picked over, they keep replenishing it.

We had a 1030 ADR last year and it was fine. We tried to wait around for some lunch foods too, but they don’t open lunch until 1130, so we were finished by then.

The food is constantly replenished. Remember, it's Disney Dining at the Magic Kingdom, they won't be shoving you out the door. You should be fine.

This. I like to do the later breakfast time slots. You get to get on rides without the park being busy, and once it starts to fill up, go have breakfast.

I really didn't enjoy the breakfast here, pretty disappointing considering the cost too. That being said, we had a 10:30a ressie and the food was pretty cold. They did switch over to lunch a bit after though, so that was nice. But, I did not find that they replenished the bfast food often for us.

Yikes . Sorry you had that experience. Hoping I have better luck in April.
