What is the crystal palace at MK like? I am thinking of switching one of my dinner reservtions to this. Thanks

CP is an all-you-care-to-eat buffet with Pooh and friends. We've eaten there a few times and thought the food was fresh and tasty. The dining room is attractive (maybe a little crowded) and the service is usually pretty good. Not that it matters , but the desserts are really yummy, too.

We've only done dinner, but breakfast is also very popular.

We ate here just last week. The food is very good but it is a very noisy restaurant. So if you're cool with that, you'll enjoy. We loved everything we got off the buffet. If we had a complaint, it would be that it was noisy and crowded and we usually don't go for that but it was worth the trade off for a good filling meal.

I have been going to DW since I was 17 1/2 my parents sent me with friends for my graduation gift and I love it but never have stepped my foot into CP and going there for breakfast on Christmas day, I'm 51 and so so excited I can't wait, heard good things about it When in Disney you expect crowds, that is the part of the magic you have to be able to accept. Try it only your opinion will count once you did

You sound like me! I've been going since the first year (!) and had never been to CP until last year! I liked it...thought the food was fresh and imaginative, and tho the noise level was fairly high, it was not unbearable.
We had lunch and it was about 12:30. Very crowded, and the service was ok. Not stellar, but that can change with each server and situation, I'm sure.

CP is the best buffet at DW. The Pooh characters are great. It is loud, as mentioned above, but so are many of the restaurants at DW.

Crystal Palace is our favorite character meal at Disney. We love to go for breakfast, get an early ADR & enter MK b4 the crowds! My kids love Pooh & friends. The restaurant can be crowded and noisy but not too bad. The food is yummy and the desserts at dinner are amazing!

We went for the first time in July with our 13 year old girls (1 daughter, 1 granddaughter). At 13 these girls are so opposite it's not funny. The only thing they do have in common is to acting older than they are. I have to tell you it pricey but worth every dollar (who uses pennies) to see these too girls smile, laugh and act like they were 7 again when Pooh and Piglet came to our table. Plus I have the pictures to hold over they're head to prove it.

I took my wife and five kids there last January and they all loved it. Good food (gotta love buffets when you bring a tribe with you), good character interaction, and perfect location! Where are you thinking of switching your ADR from, just out of curiosity?

Crystal Palace is great! I've been at both Breakfast and Lunch and the food is always great. It is crowded all the time but the service usually doesn't seem to suffer for it. Definitely check it out!

We at there for the first time this past trip and really loved it. The atmosphere was great and the food was amazing!

We are thinking of canceling our Boma dinner or our Fantasmic Package and taking our chances of getting into Fantasmic. We thought the atmosphere and meal at CP would appeal to our kids more than the food at a Boma dinner.

Crystal Palace is SO GOOD!! The food, service & characters have always been great. Yes it's crowded and noisy but it's worth it!
