Has anyone done Crystal Palace before the actual hours of an MK hard ticket event?

I was wondering how it worked out and about what time you ended up being back in the park? We are a party of 2 and have a 4:45 reservation. We plan to get there by at least 4:30. I am really looking forward to it but am still a bit antsy. Thanks. Amy

You will be out probably within an hour from the time you are seated. Since it's a self service buffet you don't have to wait for food to be brought to you so you go pretty much at your own pace. The characters there generally make the rounds pretty quickly also.

I did it with a large group a few years ago before MVMCP and I don't remember exactly what time we ate but I think it was a little later than your ADR and we were there maybe an hour and a half but we're talking about like 20 people vs. 2.

You will be fine, it does not take that long at all. Enjoy your meal, you're going to have a lot of time in the park.

Ah, cool thanks! You make me feel so much better!! Love the tigger animation in your siggy, where did you get it?

I wonder if I could find an Eeyore or Pooh one somewhere...

We dined at CP before heading out to MVMCP. It was a group of 6 of us. We had a 4'ish ressie and were out in less than 2 hours. We took our time.

We have done the same thing for MVMCP with a 4:30 ADR. The only snag you may hit is if tigger, piglet and pooh is slow to come around.

Have a great time!

We did this in Aug before the P and P party, and it worked out great. We had 5 PM ADRs, showed up at 4:45 and sat right down. We were all (4) dressed in pirate costumes and had a great time. People at CP were asking us to pose with the characters so they could take pictures ! We left about 6:30, walked out got in line for Capt. Jack and had his autograph and pictures before 7 PM ! It worked out great. You'll have a great time !! Good luck.
