Akershus - Lunch/Dinner
What they might say: don't like the menu/ethnic food
What I say: just had an 11:30 lunch there. had belle as a greeter in her yellow ball gown. we also saw ariel, cinderella, aurora and jasmine. service was decent. food was way delicious. i had the pasta akershus which has chicken. the pasta was great, the chicken was probably the best chicken i've ever had. it was a slab of it, perfectly cooked, juicy. if you can find something in the menu that appeals to you, go for it.
Crystal Palace - Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
What they might say: love it for the food, love it or hate it for the characters
What I say: I don't often recommend this one unless it's an 8:05 and you're doing it to get into the park early on a non-EMH day. otherwise, i'll also recommend it for the ability to see piglet or for a young birthday. The food is absolutely great (the breakfast pizza is often raved about, but I go for the vegetable fritata myself) - one of the larger buffet selections and good food to boot. That said, I've eaten breakfast here a couple of times and this time I made a beeline for the restaurant and we were the 2nd or 3rd family to check in. By the time we left at 8:45, we had seen all the characters. So I'd definitely advise going right there if you can. The other time I went, I was a bit late and in a period of 45 minutes, I had only seen Pooh (this last time, we were even warned by the server that if we miss characters while we get food, it could be 90 minutes before we get the chance to see them again).
Artist Point - Dinner
never ate there but don't recall hearing a bad thing about it
Whispering Canyon Cafe - Lunch/Dinner
They will love it or hate it.
What I Say: I love this place. Only for the ambience and only for dinner. If you know what to expect and this appeals to you, go for it. Make sure you get seated in the main room too. this one is loud and rambunctious and that's how it should be.
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater - Lunch/Dinner
What They Might Say: Bad food, bad service
What I Say: I've eaten here multiple times and haven't encountered either. Service has been very attentive. I eat the shrimp penne pasta, only I get chicken instead of shrimp. burgers are highly recommended. if you don't see what you want, ask.
