Restaurant Pricing--I'm SO CONFUSED!!!

[joshsmom]

So, at places like Crystal Palace, the listed price shows a price range like $36.99 - $59.00. How do you know which end of the spectrum you fall on???? I'm sure we would ALL like to be on the low end, but how do you know??? I'm so confused. Please help me!!!

The ranges that Disney gives are pretty wide, as you've noticed. Your best bet, in general, is to look at one of the online menus to get a feel for what you'd be likely to order.

Since you mentioned CP, I can tell you that you're closer to the lower end for that one. (In fact, for breakfast you're probably in the next category down.)

Just don't do what many do and think that those prices represent child/adult cost for $36/$59. That has produced panic here no small number of times.

We have several ADR's: Liberty Tree, Le Cellier and 50's Prime Time all have their prices clearly listed. We also have them at Boma (Breakfast), Biergarten and Crystal Palace (Lunches). The "range" on these is SCARY!! So you think that a CP lunch is closer to the $36 rather than the $60? I really don't think I would spend $180 to go there for the three of us!!! (me, DS16 and grandma). Any info is helpful!!! Thanks!!!!

We were there last week. I kept all my receipts so I could anaylze if I should have participated in free dining. We had lunch at Crystal Palace. A kid's meal was $13.99. An adult lunch was $24.99.

Oh WOW, THIS is encouraging!!! Ok, breathing rate is starting to return to normal!!! Is there any way you can find out for sure what the price is going to be for the time frame you are going to be there??

When are you going to be there? It might be peak pricing. Which still wouldn't reach that upper limit on the range Disney is using. That range applies to all their fixed price restaurants and not just Crystal Palace. I'd think dinner at CRT for an adult during peak pricing might reach that upper limit but not Crystal Palace.

We will be there May 17th - May 28th.

For a good idea on pricing, check out the menus at allears.net. They are usually pretty accurate. You aren't going at a peak time so the prices listed there should be close (within $5) to being correct. (Crystal Palace - $15.99 for kids 3-9 and $28.99 for adults.)
