Really enjoyed Crystal Palace! Delicious food, good service, and meeting Winnie & the gang was so fun!

We would never eat here again. We had a reservation and still waited over 30 minutes. The food was horrible. The characters were great. Not worth the money or time.

This has the best buffet selection. Not just mac & cheese, etc.

I am not a buffet person but the food was ok and you get Eeyore and Pooh and Tigger too!

The only reason we did this was to see Eeyore for a picture for my sister, however, the food was good and plentiful! We aren't huge breakfast people, but there was enough that it covered the wide range of tastes we had at the time. And who can say no to Mickey waffles!!

Not a big fan of buffet food, but I scheduled this as a surprise to my wife, who is a huge Tigger fan. Her surprise when Tigger was the first visit to our table was worth it! (Oh, and our ten-year-old loved it, too.)

Not much on food choices for a buffet. Over crowded was to be expected. Had to wait for food to be brought to buffet twice. Characters was a nice plus. Had to wait for waitress when we arrived for 20 minutes. A bit over priced for a buffet style with limited choices.

A bit overpriced but you're paying for the character experience for the kids. Food is usually decent and we like breakfast more than lunch especially if you can get in before rope drop.

Buffet food is great. Character interaction is good and quite frequent. Don't plan on being in and out quickly. I would definitely recommend.

A wide variety of food but on our visit a lot of the empty serving trays. The restaurant is really pretty and the character interaction is great.

Such a pretty place! We really enjoyed our breakfast buffet, and came late enough we actually caught some lunch items, too. Our server was awesome. Characters only spent a few moments at our table, but not a big deal for my daughter.

This is one of our favorite places to eat. It seems a little more relaxed than some of the other character meals and the characters seem to be able to spend a few minutes at each table which is nice even now that my girls are getting older.

This restaurant seems to have a bad rep, but my wife and I really enjoyed our breakfast there. And having the Winnie the Pooh characters come by was very magical.
ArielsEric gave this a rating of 8 on 06/17/2016 at 12:53:32 pm EDT

I think your experience here depends on where you sit. Request a table that isn't along the wall, because it gets so congested back there. Because you have to get up so many times to use the buffet, it's frustrating if you have to ask strangers to move to get in & out. It felt like a cafeteria when we were seated there. When we were seated at our own table in the middle, much better experience! It is loud & chaotic, moreso than other character meals, but good for families with kids.
Tinkertini gave this a rating of 7 on 06/17/2016 at 12:42:57 pm EDT

This is one of the oldest restaurants in the Magic Kingdom. If you like buffets, you can usually find something here to your liking. I do think it's due for a bit of refreshing.
Missi gave this a rating of 5 on 06/17/2016 at 12:33:41 pm EDT

So, admittedly, we haven't been here in years and when we went it was before Disney even had a dining plan. We went very early for a character breakfast, and while as a child I was enamored with the characters, I remember stories from my parents telling me that although we had a reservation (which was required), we waited up to 1.5-2 hours to be seated, which seems a little ridiculous. And I have heard similar stories from others visiting who have been there more recently. I think the magic of experience is there but I think that you can find that magic (of a character breakfast/dinner) in other places with maybe a little better value.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. For a buffet, the food is exceptionally good. Service has always been very good for us and the opportunity to see the Pooh characters without a wait is well worth the premium pricing.

It's always a very charming character dining experience. The standard buffet food you'd expect but we always find something to eat from the selection.

Been coming here for years. A great way to eat a big lunch and then have a small cheaper dinner. Love the characters too Piglet and Pooh

Great character interaction but the food is just regular buffet style food. If you have your hearts set on seeing the characters then it is a great choice. Otherwise it is just another typical buffet.

This place is beautiful inside, especially if you have a view of the castle out your window. Feels very classic Disney to us. Food is good enough for a buffet. Character interaction is great.

Crystal palace gets high marks for fun. It is very pretty and the characters are fun. I mean, who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh. But if I were to be honest, we do not enjoy the food when compared to other restaurant options. If I were to visit, I would choose to eat Breakfast. The food is much better and they have Pooh's French Toast. The omelette station is good and so are the Mickey Waffles. For dinner, the Peel-n-Eat Shrimp are decent and the desserts are always fairly good. Nice place to have a birthday meal for a child. We always get plenty of time with the characters and the view from every table is beautiful.

The best part of this meal is getting one on one time with the characters. They really spend time with each table to get lots of pictures and autographs. Food is not great, but for kids the character experience can be worth it. Would not recommend for a group of adults who are not in it for the characters.
