Late Breakfast at Crystal Palace

[c&m]

I just made a late ADR time for CP - 10am. Would the character interaction still be good, the food warm, and the buffet still well supplied at this late breakfast hour? We are paying OOP, so if everything is so-so, we'd just skip it. Thanks!

We had a late ADR for breakfast when we went several years ago. I believe it was 10:30 and we thought the character interaction was great. The food was all warm and plentiful and we didn't feel as though we were dining from the bottom of the barrel or the leftovers.

Keep it. We've had the last ADR time a few times and been fine with the food and the characters. We actually like it when the place clears out - not near as hectic/chaotic.

Can anybody tell me if the same is true of the dinner buffet? I'd like to meet the 100-Acre Wood gang, but I need some food, too.

Thank you for your responses!

Sounds like going later may be quite pleasant in that it won't be chaotic. I'm also happy to hear we won't be eating the remaining scraps at the buffet table. That was definitely a worry since it's such a pricey breakfast.

Late breakfast is the BEST time to go! I've booked it several times (the 10:30) and never been disappointed. I think this last August, Tigger came by our table 4 times. It is less busy, the food is still hot and fresh and replenished as needed, and the characters have more time (usually) to stop with you as the restaurant clears out.

Keep the ADR. You will enjoy it! Have fun!

We had a similar experience with a later breakfast. The crowd was lighter since it was between the normal breakfast and lunch times, and they were still bringing out fresh food up through about 10:40 when we left. Character interaction was as good as any other time, with less people dining (meaning we got to see them more often).
