The Crystal Palace restaurant in the Magic Kingdom is one of our favorite buffet restaurants at Walt Disney World.\u00a0 This Victorian inspired restaurant is themed to a Friendship Day Celebration with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore leading the festivities. These colorful topiaries greet you as you enter the restaurant!<\/p>\n

We have been to Crystal Palace for breakfast, lunch, and dinner<\/a> and enjoy all meals there, but lately breakfast has been the meal of our choice.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll let you in on two little secrets as to why we prefer breakfast. \u00a0First, if you are lucky enough to score an Advanced Dining Reservation<\/a> (ADR) before 8:15 a.m. or so, you can enter the Magic Kingdom early to walk to the restaurant.\u00a0 That means (drum roll, please\u2026.) that you may have an awesome photo opportunity of an empty or nearly empty Main Street U.S.A.!\u00a0\u00a0 If you\u2019re a camera nut like I am at Walt Disney World, getting this shot is totally worth rolling out of bed early!<\/p>\n

The second little secret is that if part of the family finishes eating early, then they can head out at about 8:45 to go to the attraction of their choice and be with the rope drop crowd (or slightly ahead of it!) without waiting in the crowd itself.\u00a0 That\u2019s a true bonus if the weather is hot and humid or raining.\u00a0 What\u2019s not to love for my teens with the promise of all-you-can-eat bacon and then getting to Space Mountain ahead of the pack?! Even they jump out of bed with gusto with the lure of a table at Crystal Palace waiting for us.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace offers food and fun with characters, but since we\u2019re here primarily to eat let\u2019s talk about the food first.\u00a0 The menus for Crystal Palace for all meals offers a good variety of foods.\u00a0 Our \u201cselective eater\u201d is happy here as well as those of us looking for some unique items!<\/p>\n

For breakfast, I prefer to chow down on two items that are exclusive to Crystal Palace.\u00a0 One is breakfast lasagna, which is layers of pancakes, waffles, pound cake and fruit. \u00a0The other item is Pooh\u2019s Puffed French Toast.\u00a0 Both of these will give you a boost of sweetness to start your day!\u00a0 Another must have item for me is a Mickey Waffle.\u00a0 I forgo syrup and go for the strawberry sauce for the waffles and Pooh\u2019s stuffed French Toast.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s talk about the fun with characters.\u00a0 As you eat, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore make the rounds to the tables to pose for photos and sign autograph books.\u00a0 Your server will let you know the character rotation pattern of your seating area.\u00a0 When you see a character approach, you can be ready to greet him!<\/p>\n

These characters are great for all ages.\u00a0 \u00a0My kids liked them when they were young, and as teens they still get a kick out of saying \u201chi!\u201d to the characters as they make their rounds!\u00a0\u00a0 You are never too old to enjoy a hug from Pooh and friends.\u00a0 I do, and let\u2019s just say that I\u2019m older than the teen years.<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/a><\/p>\n

For younger children, there is a Friendship Day Celebration Parade that circulates around the restaurant about one time every hour. \u00a0This is a festive activity, and a memory to make that your little one will cherish.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace is one of our most repeated restaurants at Walt Disney World for the food and for the fun!<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on Crystal Palace? Do you enjoy dining here and what’s your tip for experiencing this fun character meal?<\/em><\/p>\n
