How long is your meal at Crystal Palace?

[TENIA66]

We have ADR's for the CP at 8:10 on a non early entry morning. The park opens at 9:00. How long should we expect to be at the CP for our meal? I don't want to be sitting there with the park open b/c we're only going to be spending one day at the MK this time. I'm considering cancelling my ADR b/c of this reason. I thought if it only took 45 minutes or so, it would be fine. What do you think? Also, does the park really open at 9:00, or will it be 8:30 or 8:45?

Well ours was nearly long enough for my hubby and i to divorce. We had an 8:10 reservation on an early entry morning, and as we sat there and waited on the characters, he got madder and madder, throwing a fit that we were sitting when we should be riding. We wound up embarrassing ourselves in front of Pooh, as well as our family. Never again.

I don't blame you. Once you have a bad experience at a place, it's hard to get that memory out of your mind.

We were just there on Monday. This is a buffet so you can get in and out as quickly as you want. We had an 8:05 reservation and were out by 9:15 and we saw every single character (Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet) at least once. They do take a long time to get around the room, it's a big place. We loved it though. We still made it to Dumbo and rode twice without much of a wait.
