Ohana or Crystal Palace for breakfast?

[EeyoreEma]

Which of these is a better choice for breakfast? I have both reservations, but think we will only do one, so I want to cancel the other. Which is a better breakfast to do?

I honestly like CP better. I love being in the MK and the Winnie the Pooh characters. Also the kids puffed french toast is to die for

We have done both and prefer CP because we can set the pace and there are alot more food choices

Ohana was awesome tho, dont get me wrong we had alot of fun and the food was great but we felt rushed.

The juice alone at Ohana is amazing. We order it from Nantucket Nectar.....mmmmmmmmm.

The waffles melt in your mouth. The bread alone is a meal!!!!!!

I agree. CP is more fun, esp. for breakfast and the food is really good. Then you're already in the park to walk off the calories!

My family definitely prefers the atmosphere of Ohana. Nothing like enjoying a cup of coffee (or juice) while enjoying a view of the castle. Plus the coconut racing is so much fun! And for us, we feel a lot less rushed.

Hmmm, Eeyore or Stitch??? Love them both, but I chose Stitch.

I prefer 'Ohana because I like plated meals better than buffets. And the juice, oh so good!

I vote for CP because I like the variety of a buffet. Plus you don't have to wait for the server to bring you more food.

We've not done Ohanas since they switched to family style and added Stitch (we prefer buffets, and we don't like Stitch). The food at the Crystal Palace is very good in our opinion and we go every year for breakfast. I think it will come down to which characters you would like to see...we prefer Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet (we can see Mickey and Minnie in the Tent).

Thanks y'all - It sounds like we will probably do CP then!

We have never tried Ohana's but we love CP for breakfast. We try to get a before park opening reservation so that we can take pics on Main street with no one there and then eat and still be in before the gates really open.

Looking forward to our next trip when we will get to do this again.

We've eaten at both places, and I MUCH prefer Crystal Palace. Here are my reasons:

Crystal Palace - love getting an 8am ADR and getting into the park before it opens. I like their buffet, plenty of food choices for hot/cold selections. For my taste, I prefer a breakfast buffet to the Ohana fixed plate. I think the food is better quality and the atmosphere is more festive.

Honestly, the only thing I don't like about Ohana is the limited food selection. They have a separate server that comes around to serve the Mickey waffles which is the only thing my kids will eat there. Sometimes that server doesn't come around for a while and my kids are hungry.

That being said, any character meal at Disney is a wonderful experience. If you kids are into Lilo and Stitch, this is THE place to take them.

Have a wonderful trip!

exactly our reasons.

CP hands down is the better choice. We just did Ohana in mid-October and they were behind on seating times more than any other Disney restaurant I've ever experienced. We were seated 45 minutes after our reservation. While the juice is good, the food at Ohana is less than average. Crystal Palace is much better all the way around and much more efficient. Plus, you will be in the park already....
