Crystal Palace or Tusker House

[emilyann415]

We have one ressie left to make. Thought we would let the kids have one more character meal! Which would you choose? There is no menu posted on all ears site for Crystal Palace but I ASSUME that they will be pretty similar. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tuskar!!!!!!! Not only did they have the standard bacon and eggs they also had some different items on it that were pretty tasty, the only one I can remember right now was the corned beef hash. It was to die for. It wasn't canned stuff either, it had onions and green peppers in it, awesome. They also had a different juice it was really good, again not sure what it was, too early in the morning to remember that kind of thing.

Tusker House - No Question

Get a 8:00 am ADR, in the park before they officially open, very cool. After eating go straight to Killmanjaro Safari, we did this and we were on the first truck leaving, I've never seen so many animals on that trip.

Also, I've eat at all the Character meals multiple times and IMO TH Breakfast is by far the best of the buffets.

We also prefer the food at Tusker House.

Another vote for Tusker House. Great food selection (less hectic to get the food compare to CP), yummy juice and good coffee.

We love both.

Tusker House (character meal for breakfast) can get kind of hectic. It has fantastic food (I'd say a little better than Crystal Palace), dancing with the characters, and they pass out instruments to the kids. It's hard to get into the other room to get your food (and the kids' food), and to keep an eye on when the characters are coming to your table.

The Crystal Palace is one of our favorites too, though. The singing and dancing isn't as fun, but it's definitely been less hectic for us. It's also neat that it's in the Magic Kingdom and very accessible! Very pretty inside too!

Crystal Palace has a huge buffet with something for everyone and the characters are fab!

They are both great - two of my favorites. You cannot go wrong with either one.

What are your other character meals? Could you base it on which ones your kids would like to see? Pooh is at CP and Donald is at TH.

Tusker House by far waaaay better! The food at CP was just ok. I thought the food and character interaction was way better at Tusker. DD also has a food allergy and although all of disney was very accommodating to her needs, I thought the Chef at the Tusker house was more sincere and wanted to go the extra mile for DD, bringing her out special items that were not on the buffet line.

I just wanted to add that your server should know the rotation, ours was great telling us when to stay and go back up to the buffet haha (at Tusker House).

On our next trip we decided to eat at Crystal Palace but to skip Tusker House. At TH I felt rushed with the characters and we were squashed in like sardines however the food was good. At CP we all liked the food and had a much more relaxed time with the characters. Also, if you can get an ADR at CP before rope-drop you can't beat seeing the castle and Main Street without the crowds.

We love Tusker House. I would compare their breakfast to Boma's. I love the characters at Crystal Palace; however, Tusker House IMO has the best food.

Very tough choice!!
Love both...we also went to Tusker before the park opened and were on the first truck for the safari....and the animals were very lively!!
The food at CP is also quite good, and it's nice to have a place to sit down comfortably and have a nice meal in the middle of your MK day..
Keep in mind that Tusker is only a character meal for breakfast...so, if you're thinking lunch..CP is the place for you.
Also, you might decide based on what your plans are for that day...
All other things being completely equal...I'd probably go for Tusker House.

Do they ever have pancakes or waffles at the Tusker House? I don't see either thing listed, so I thought I would ask.
