Who is in your party? What are their ages?
In general I like your places, but I personally wouldn't have chosen your times.
Enjoy

6 of us...all adults

It was a group decision to have dinner anytime between 5 and 6...some I had to go a bit earlier, or later depending on what was available.

We have never been to Crystal Palace...is it good? We don't need the character experience, but our options were limited for Wednesday as we are spending the day in MK.

Crystal Palace is one of my personal favourites, although that's partially because of all of the memories and character interactions. The food at the buffet is typical for Disney, I would say a step above Hollywood & Vine and a step below Chef Mickey's and 1900 Park Fare (if that helps).

Also if you were interested in doing a breakfast, 'Ohana is excellent for breakfast and has some of the best pastries and fresh juice I've had on property, in addition to breakfast staples like Mickey waffles.

My parents are driving down, and they planned to grab breakfast items from the grocery store before we landed and made our way via ME...but I will keep that in mind for further trips! I haven't been to any of those restaurants, so I guess I have nothing to compare it too in those regards. I'm sure it will be great and we will love it. We aren't super picky eaters, so as long as there is some form of red meat for everyone and chicken/turkey or seafood for me, we are good!

Great selections, but I need to critique two of them:

I would choose Olivia's Cafe only if I were staying at OKW. It's out of the way if you're not staying there, and definitely not worth traveling there using Disney transport.

I don't think you need an ADR at Beaches & Cream on top of a dinner at Ohana. Dinner at Ohana will put you in a food coma. No need to go to both places the same night.

We've done crystal palace multiple times, but if it wasn't for the characters we wouldn't go back.

We are staying at OKW!
I'm not so sure how I will enjoy the bread pudding stuff...so I just wanted to have the option to go and sit and have some ice cream...but we are open to letting it go and just grabbing a cone and walking the boardwalk.

I looked at 1900 park fare for dinner...and I think if I can snag a reservation we will trade out crystal palace for it...right now, no availability for Wednesday night though. I'd rather hang with the princesses over winnie the pooh and friends anyways.

Sounds like fun! We like Crystal Palace, but I think 1900 PF has more adult-friendly choices. Love Cape May for Thanksgiving dinner - we went 2 years ago and it was wonderful.

I worry that you won't be out of 'Ohana in time for your ice cream. The times we've been there, we were seated well after our ADR time (30-45 min) and the meal takes a long time. Then there's travel time (and if it's a busy night, hard to snag a taxi).

More than likely we will wander over a different day for some...so I may as well cancel it now to allow others tht time slot, no biggie for us. We are bringing along my brothers girlfriend and she continues to express that she doesnt want any princess stuff...(shes never been to WDW before) so of course that means I need to get into 1900 PF. Its for her benefit!
