Crystal Palace or Grand Floridian Cafe?

[sandydk]

I'm stuck. Would you choose Crystal Palace for breakfast or Grand Floridian Cafe for dinner?

Here are my other choices, to give you an idea of my week:
Raglan Road dinner
Boma dinner
Ohana dinner
Tusker House lunch
Garden Grill dinner

I'd pick Grand Floridian Cafe' in a heartbeat!

I was sold on GFC, then I thought about getting into MK early and getting pix of the castle, and my kids love pooh and friends. We did CP for dinner last time. Now I'm waffling between convenience/pooh/castle but we're not big breakfast eaters vs what I've heard is a great dinner in a lovely setting.

Definitely GFC, the food is great and the atmosphere is elegant. Have never had a bad meal and have eaten there many times!

I love both. CP breakfast is among my favourites plus pooh and friends are awesome! I am not a big breakfast eater either but This is one of the few i look forward to! That being said, two of my favorite meals have been at GFC at lunch and dinner. If you can get an early reso at CP I would chose that over dinner (because what's better than an empty Main Street?) - if not dinner at GFC! The atmosphere is awesome , service has always been good for me!

We have actually become big fans of GFC for lunch, so if looking to maybe break up the day and relax a little, consider that as an option, too. Same atmosphere but a little cheaper. Grand sandwich is unique to lunch, and that is what keeps us going back.

Thats a tough choice! I'd probably pick GFC for dinner.

We went to gfc 2 years ago n I wouldn't go back. The steak was tough. The food was just bland. Wasnt crowded at all n service was slow. Took forever to get dessert. This would be one of the last places I would eat at. We love cp. Food is always hot n fresh. They don't leave it sitting for hours.

We love CP for breakfast. I've had lunch and dinner at GFC and they were both among my worst meals at WDW and I've been many times. It's a beautiful room but the service and food were both very mediocre. Not well seasoned. Food especially desserts felt like it was made way in advance and sat around. Steak was inedible. Even fries were cold and not seasoned. If you are staying at the GF and it's convenient to eat there that would be my only reason for even potentially trying it again.

Very different experiences. CP, especially before MK opening, is a coveted reservation because it's rare you get to be on Main Street with so few people. We enjoyed it but found it to be a little chaotic, especially since you have to go back and forth to the buffet line. We also aren't hughe Pooh fans. GFC is a little more quiet, and nice that you don't have to hassle with a buffet.
