Crystal Palace Lunch? Or dinner?

[simonkodousek]

Is it really worth the $$? And would you recommend an 11:30 seating or a 2:30 seating? We have the 11:30 set up and are planning the whole day at MK but now I'm wondering if it will be the best option. We are also on a budget so I was figuring it's more cost-effective to do lunch there than dinner. Would like thoughts from anyone who has done either or both! Thanks.

Personally I would skip Crystal Palace if it wasn't for their dinner. The food is magnificent and the character interaction is great. This is always our top WDW restaurant!
