The Crystal Palace

[QuirkyButterfly]

We want to go to The Crystal Place at the opening time in the morning. When do the characters arrive, we don't want to be there at 8:05 and not have Pooh turn up until 9. This could also be said about Chef Mickeys as well.

Thanks for the help.

WE had the 8:10 seating at CP last year. Were seated right on time. Went to the buffet and the characters started coming around right away, maybe a 10 minute wait. Enjoy

We always do 8:05 PS and it works great. We're in and out by 9 a.m. and usually make a break for Dumbo, which always backs up in the morning. We usually have Fantasyland COMPLETELY done by 10 a.m.!

Have some of the breakfast lasagna, BTW -- it's TDF!

We had an 8:05 a few weeks ago. We were seated and told to wait on the buffet; Pooh was about 2 tables away from us. Server was very good about explaining how the characters made their way around the restaurant, so we wouldn't miss anyone. Pooh was out right away... we got our food and shortly after Piglet was at our table. We ate some more and saw Eeyore and Tigger come out from the back area. We had to wait a little for Tigger, but it was worth it. Pooh even came around a second time. If you're in a hurry, (and maybe it was just us) I would let your server know he/she can give you your check before your totally finished eating - it took a really long time for our server to get our check and then process the debit card. We were a party of two adults with no set plans, so it was fine, but if I go back with the kids, I'll be getting my check as soon as I can and paying with cash. (This was also a Friday morning during Spring Break.)

No, it's made with muffins and berries and is TASTY GOODNESS in your belly.

They're not booking people for character meals and then only having the characters show up for part of the time they're open for that meal, no. It'll all be good.

We do the exact same thing.

that's what i hoped.. except in 40 mins, all i saw was pooh at my table. the place is so big and they so tightly control the flow of characters that you really get penalized if the characters get held up in some wing across the building.

That does sound nice, I might just have to try it.

Love it there.

We have made many first seatings for character breakfasts and the characters have always been there for the earliest seating.
