Restaurant Questions: BOG, CRT, CP, buffet, Storybook dining

[parkbr]

Hi,

I am just wondering which one is better? BOG or CRT? CRT without characters?
I saw CRT ressie time at 2:45PM but didn't quite like the 'lunch option', so we're thinking about it.
BOG, we have a nice dinner time 6:20PM, but not sure if it is good? We've only done QS before.

Also, how is Crystal Palace without Pooh bear (my favourite)?

And what is a big deal about Storybook dining? It's new since my last visit (I think), so I am curious!

And as for buffet, which one is the best? We're not a big one buffet, but want to do couple. We liked Cape May and Ohana a lot, and other ones because of Characters, but now Character dining is not quite available, I am thinking what to do.

Any advice will be helpful! Thank you!

Story book dining has a decent menu with great character interaction (hoping to do this in a week).

BOG has great atmosphere (consistent food quality except one time) and can have long check in waits around 6 pm; atmosphere is relaxed and dining is great (check out menu). Steakhouse71 has a similar menu and is easily a better option for food walking from MK (requested to repeat over BOG). Supply chain issues meant even Topolinos and SPace220 served us steak that was hard to cut (like Molly's steak in the BOG video below).

CRT is ok food but exclusive experience. They are not as accommodating (much like Space220) with food allergies/modifications.

Ohana was disappointing (read recent tripadvisor reviews). The meats are really bad. ok if you like noodles and dessert.

Crystal Palace is not great, but mediocre food (hollywood & vine buffet level) for location. We prefer skipper canteen over crystal palace.

Thank you!
I am not sure how things will work due to covid restrictions, so not super keen on Character dining yet.
I will cancel my Crystal Palace then.
