CP = Crystal Palace
I prefer CP. I prefer the buffet choices, the atmosphere, and the location. They are very festive for Xmas too. Pooh & friends.
LTT is pre-plated (some prefer that), Stoffer's Mac & cheese. Minnie and friends. Not a bad location either.
I prefer CP myself.
I'd pick between 5:00p and 5:30p to be done in time. Then they'll just have you wait in front of the restaurant till 7:00p.
