Crystal Palace. Dinner or Breakfast?

[jpolak]

If you could only go once, which meal would you pick?

We have been at breakfast twice and are planning on going again in a couple of weeks for breakfast. It is one of my favorite places.

I do not like dinner there at all, not impressed with the food. Breakfast is one of those things that is hard to screw up and especially on a buffet, I'd stick with breakfast for this one!! We are going in 2 weeks for breakfast!

WE love breakfast at the Crystal Palace -- with just adults or adults with kids. It is the best! One of our "do not Miss" meals.

If you do go for breakfast -- one word of advice -- order your Made to Order Omlette and then hit the buffet -- otherwise, the rest of your food will get cold while waiting for your Omlette to be made.

Loved the breakfast. Shoot for a before the park opens seating so you can get in early to a nearly empty main street. We got one, only to have Disney add an extra magic hour in while we were down there.
They had a breakfast Lasagne that if I told you what's in it, you'd say yeuck!!! But it's really really good.
We also had a hashed browns casserole that was yummy and a quiche that was yummy. They also had all the other usual breakfast items and it was overall a good experience. They also had a waffles with the characters and had some syrup, fruit, whipped cream, and toppings to put on em. The Omelate station is really nice. I got one of those. The rest of the crew thought the Bacon, sausage, and other stuff was great.

We like to get the last seating for breakfast at CP. That way we can go on some rides when the park opens and when it's time for our ADR, we're ready for a break and food. The food is great! Also the restaurant starts to empty out while we're there and they start changing over for lunch. They have never seated anyone for lunch while we've been there and we don't feel rushed to leave. It's a nice time for character interaction too.

I want to know too! Is dinner THAT bad?

The CP lunch is my favorite buffet at WDW and one of my favorite places to eat overall - the food is wonderful. I can't imagine dinner could be that much different. I've never done breakfast or dinner there but have a dinner reserved on our next trip.

I"m not a big fan of the character breakfast idea - I think the time is better spent doing the rides - then have the nice relaxing sit down meal later in the day when you are either more tired, it is hot as blazes outside or both

Dinner there wasn't "bad" but it wasn't worth the wait (despite the ADR) and we weren't that impressed. There are other much better dinner buffets.

Dinner, we love it there, and we are NOT breakfast people. We generally just have a bowl of cereal in the room, or in our camper when we stay at Fort Wilderness.

Breakfast -- we try to go every trip. The food is great! We've gone both early and late. Service and food are fabulous at all times!!

 

[mousiemom]

We did this character lunch our last day @ MK and we absolutely loved it. Better than the castle lunch!!! The food was great and the characters came around a lot!!! We will always go to this one and Chef Mickey!
Have fun!

 

[Crazy Kanga]

We have done both and prefer the breakfast. The dinner wasn't bad, but the breakfast was Great!

MMM.....Crystal Palace.....breakfast lasagna....

 

[tigger2on]

We go to WDW every year and prefer to do a late lunch here. It is cheaper than dinner and gives us a nice break from the crowds. Plus if we eat at 1pm, we have time to eat and catch the parade at 3!!! 2 second walk to main street.

Had dinner there twice and enjoyed it there.

 

[nliedel]

Oh bother, this is such a tough question. I would say breakfast but it's just a by a squeek that I chose it. They are both good. We try to do one of each on every trip. We love it.

 

[SpecialK]

We've had breakfast and lunch there. Loved the lunch - did not care for the breakfast at all.

 

[mommystieg]

We have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner at CP and enjoyed them all but our favorite is breakfast This is a must do for us every trip

We haven't had the dinner there, but we love the breakfast.
