Crystal Palace or Liberty Tree

[Terk-1]

Can't seem to decide between these to. Which do you like better and why?

Hi Terk,

There's a thread just down the page on this same topic!

I have eaten at both and enjoyed them both very much. But, if I had to pick one. I would choose CP. The view through the windows of the castle is fantastic. If find all the plants and tall ceilings lovely and relaxing. It could be that I grew up in the ye olde land of New England and the charm is no longer new.

Thought the service at LTT was great. DD does not eat anything on the menu and when we called about just paying the entertainment fee they asked what she ate and arranged to have things for her---the server was great about it as well.

I've been to the Crystal Palace several times and have always been pleased. Have not been to Liberty in a long time. Is the quality of food better at one over the other? I'm going as a solo. Is one better to dine at solo than the other?

I would pick LTT just for the fact that they serve you and you don't have to walk around the buffet. With my DD (3.5) it makes it rough with her feeling like she can get everything herself.

We have never made it to CP in the past because we just liked the foods offered at LTT more. I really like turkey and mashed potatoes...real comfort type food. The CP buffets just sounded like any other buffet you can get around. JMHO...

We are big Crystal Palace fans- eaten there many, many times and never been disappointed. We ate at LTT for the first time this Dec. and we were all disapointed. The food was good- just no variety. Part of my family did not care for the dressing- there were 7 of us- and there was hardly anything else for them to eat. The dessert was not that good and most everyone didn't eat any. Maybe our expectations were too high since we had all read such wonderful reviews of LTT- but we all agreed that we much prefer CP. The variety is so much bigger- no comparison on variety. The food quality I'd say is close to the same, with the edge going to CP b/c we weren't thrilled with the food at LTT and CP has always been great! I'm glad we tried LTT, but we'll stick with CP from now on!
BTW- character interaction was about the same- although Chip and Dale made a second visit to our table at LTT.

We ate at LTT last week. The adults liked the food okay, but my kids really didn't eat well. It is definitely not a place we want to eat at again. I found the character interaction to be lacking. We didn't have dinner at CP, but had breakfast. Everyone loved it! Though I agree with a previous poster that a sit-down is much easier for a character meal. At the buffets, we found ourselves waiting to get food because we were worried we'd miss a character coming by.

We normally eat at the Crystal Palace and LTT during each visit, but we may only do Crystal Palace for the next trip. My kids don't enjoy LTT food very much, so the buffet at Crystal Palace works much better. Also, LTT has always taken 45 min - 1 hour to get seated, even with PS made months ahead.

We prefer Crystal Palace.

I've been leaning more and more towards Crystal mainly due to this being a solo meal and LTT sounds like alot of food for just one person.
