Crystal Palace breakfast...

[mommy1212]

What is the best time for an ADR at the CP for breakfast?

 

[tjmouse]

Either early at 8:05 or late at 10:15 or so. That way, you either get into the park early or can enjoy some rides before you go to breakfast.

We really liked 8:05. Nobody else had touched any of the food yet!

What exactly is in the breakfast lasagna? Thanks!

 

[bomzar]

Breakfast Lasagna is Yummy! It's a layered dish of waffles, pancakes, blueberries, raspberries, poundcake, bread pudding custard, pastry cream, bananas, and topped off with carmelized sugar. Definately a lot of sugar!

If you go for the early seating you get lots of photo ops without extra people in them. You are also in pretty good position to hit Fantasyland before the rest of the masses make it up Main Street....

Breakfast lasagna - yum

We had an adr for 8:25, and it was great. A little packed, but still manageable. Also, we were able to take the pic below with no one else in it!!!!

We always do 8:05 on the last day of our trip -- nothing beats getting into the park early, getting some photo-ops free of other guests, and we've gotten GREAT service/attention (we never felt rushed, but I think they work it so that you can get in and out quickly, if you want to, when you arrive early). Characters were nice and attentive -- they weren't burned out yet!

both are good. we like to go early for the small crowds but also sometimes like to go late & use it for both breakfast & lunch so we save time and money by only stopping for one meal instead of two.

Wow ! The going early for low crowds sure didn't work for us in late September. We had 8:05 ps. It was PACKED. You couldn't even get to the front to put in your name letting them know you were there. The lines were very long, the food was really picked over. We were seated at 8:45. Way too crowded. My Dh loves breakfast, but it was so crowded that he only got one serving and did not go back for fruit or sweets. He stated, "I am not fighting people to eat!"

Next time we will schedule a later time and enjoy the early park hours first.

We had an 8:15 there last Tuesday. It was virtually empty when we arrived, we were seated right on time. And we got to Fantasyland right after that and everything was a walk-on.

We really enjoy 8:05 on a non-EMH day when we can get it. There's nothing like walking into the nearly empty park!!

For those that have been there/done that, we have an 8:05 on a non early entry day, what time did you arrive at the park? How early can we go so we can take a couple pics before breakfast?

Thanks,
Beth

We had an 8:10 last week and got in at 7:55 or 8am. Took some pics in front of the castle (empty) and went over for breakfast around 8:15. Oops!

There were only a few other people seated, no crowds, not rushed, no lines at park opening for rides!

Enjoy!
