For our day and evening at MK, I was wondering what would be the best choice:
Crystal Palace
Ohana
1900 Park Fare
or Tonys Town Square?
 
Without knowing your paties priorities as far as which meal you are talking about or which characters you want to see, I would go with a late breakfast ADR at 1900 PF. Alice and Madhatter are great, plus you see Mary Poppins, WtP and Tigger too. The food is pretty good as far as breakfasts go. If you get to MK early for RD, and have an ADR at 11:20 or so for 1900 PF it becomes more of a brunch than a breakfast and it gives you a bit of a break in the day. When you get back from "brunch" the lines are usually a little lighter due to that being most other peoples lunch time. This opens up your evening to have a CS whenever your party is ready.

We personally don't like the food at any other of the options you gave. 'Ohana is just an overrated restaurant with dreadful service and bad food. Tony's is pretty average food that we can get better at a lot of places where we live. CP has gone downhill quite a bit over the last few years (there have been less offerings, the food is sometimes cold when it isn't supposed to be and the service is shakey at best).
 
I would say crystal palace or park fare. Ohana's used to be a favorite of ours that we would hit multiple times each trip however the last two times we were there the service and food were horrible and we're not going back anytime soon. I haven't eaten at Tony's since the took the Beef and Spinach cannelloni off the menu :o( I've alway sbeen happy with CP and PF and I'm not much of a buffet person either. Have fun choosing!
 
I would pick Crystal Palace over Park fare. We did both our past trip and Crystal Palace was great Park Fare not so much. I found the selection at CP bigger with lots of yummy salads and fruits. Park Fare’s food was pretty blah and they pack you in there like sardines.
 
HI

CP- for early breakfast
1900 PF dinner:) or also love a late breakfast

Park fare breakfast quality is by far the best. They have real bacon and smoked salmon and lobster benedict. Ohana is also good and that is served family style.
 
I never thought about having a late breakfast at 1900 PF. I will think about that! We are devoting 1 day and that evening to MK, but I don't want to overwhelm my 5yr old, so we plan on taking a break during the day and going back to POR. Now I'm wondering if we should just eat there before heading back to MK for the evening...
 
Were Pooh lovers! So Crystal Palace is always a must.

We are doing a late breakfast at Park Fare in march. We love late breakfasts. We make it our lunch. We either have a sleep in morning or hit the parks early and break for our 'lunch.' Either way, by the time we get to breakfast, it isn't crowded anymore and the character interaction is better. The meal ends up being very relaxing. Last time it was the highlight of our trip.
 
Tony's Town Square is my least favorite. I like all the others just as much.
 
If it's a one day at MK, I would say CP is your best bet - maximize time in the park and since it is a buffet, you don't have the wait time for your meal to be prepared. As a bonus, Winnie and friends are always on hand -
 
Among those locations I have been to Ohana and Tony's Town Square. While both are good if I had to choose I would go with Tony's Town Square.
 
Have been to all 4.... here's how I rank them:

1. Ohana
2. Crystal Palace
3. Tony's
4. 1900 PF

Ohana & Crystal Palace are neck and neck for me, but overall I like Ohana just a bit better... however if you are coming with kids then CP would be better.
