Have you had late breakfast at Crystal palace?

[mrsminniemouse]

I was hoping to get the latest possible breakfast at CP so that we can do a few rides at MK first. I dont like the lunch food as much so want to stick with breakfast.

It is listed as finishing at 10.30. Is that last seating time or closing time?

If you take last seating, is the food still plentiful and do the characters still do the little parade with the kids?

Thanks so much!
Mandy

Also interested in the answer. We have breakfast there at 1020 on our last day. We started with an earlier ADR, then moved it in order to check out. We can't check our luggage until at least 7:30, which didn't give us enough time to get to the MK. So, this way, we get a later start in the park, but dodn't have to leave to check our luggage!

We had breakfast there with a 10.25 ADR. It was great ! They kept replenishing the food, characters were not rushed. Yes they still do the parade. We're doing that again in December, going for the EMH that morning so we'll have 3 hours to enjoy the not-so-crowded-yet park before our ADR.

We always go to CP at 10:30. We use it as brunch. We get to MK early and ride everything in Fantasy and Tomorrow Land. Then one of us gets a Fast Pass for Splash Mountain while the other one takes the kids and checks in for CP.

We had the last breakfast seating on our 05 trip (10:40?), and it was wonderful! The food was still fresh and plentiful. They did start consolidating to one side of the buffet so that they could set up for lunch, but there was still plenty of everything.

Another perk for us was that towards the end of our visit, there weren't many other occupied tables, so it felt as though we got a little extra character interaction.

We're going back on this trip and can't wait!

We always make late ADR's for CP. (We're not morning people, so the thought of trying to make an 8:00 am is scarey! ) We love it! We ride rides first. The food is yummy, the parade is cute, and when we're finishing up we're almost the only people in there so you might even get your picture w/ muliple characters.

We have a 10.25 CP ADR for the last day of our trip.

Another vote for a late breakfast ADR at CP. We aim for 10:30. The first time we did this, we were the only ones left on our side of the restaurant as we were finishing up. We got a family picture with Eeyore. And Pooh played Ring-Around-the-Rosie with just my kids. And Tigger had a bouncing contest with them! It was amazing!

The food was hot & delicious! They did start breaking down one side of the buffet to prepare for lunch, but it didn't cause a crowd issue or a lack of food issue.

Last year we tried an 8am ADR for CP to get into MK before opening. It was still good, but felt much more rushed than our later ADR times. So, we're back with 10:30 this year!

I have always loved my late ADR's for CP--based on what the above posters stated. On our last visit--the last week in May--it was horrible! We won't be back. Our ADR was for 10:25 and we were not seated until almost 11:00. The line to check in was too big for the porch and the CM's were just yelling out names all over the place. No beeper--they had run out! Although they left out the breakfast food, the lunch crowd was packing the place before we had our quiet time with the characters. Also, the food quality had declined quite a bit. I blamed the Dining Plan and vowed never again!!

we usually get a 10:30 at cp as we are not early risers. It has always been very good - tons of food, the parade, and we see the characters often. And honestly it seems less crowded. We've done it much earlier in the past but I prefer to do it at 10:30 or so..

tricia.

I've done it a gazillion times and it was always wonderful. They'd shut down one side of the buffet, but you could still get whatever you wanted on the other.

The last time I did it, though, they had the lunch stuff out too early. And most of the breakfast stuff was gone when I went back for more. It was very disappointing and I hope they just had an "off" day. On the flip side, we tried some of the lunch stuff and it was good. My friend was thrilled with getting lunch food, too.

Breakfast is the meal I like best and the Crystal Palace is the place I most like to have it, so I really look forward to those breakfasts. I was just out of luck.

Here on the Restaurant Board can give you the answer to what is the latest ADR you can make for a CP breakfast.

I think it is 10:40 or 10:45.

We just came back and did a 10:30 breakfast. Although the food was good, we missed the omelettes since they started prepping for lunch. They did offer to make them for us though which was very nice. They kept one side of the buffet breakfast and changed over the other to lunch in a split second. They worked very diligently. We also felt a little rushed by our waiter since they seem to change after the breakfast shift. We had the same thing happen last year at the 1900 PF. Aside from that, it was one of the best breakfasts we have ever had at the world.
