The Crystal Palace

One of my favorite places to dine in the Magic Kingdom...really in all of Walt Disney World...is the Crystal Palace. Located at the end of Main Street, with a stunning view of Cinderella Castle, the Crystal Palace is an all you care to eat buffet. It is also a character dining experience, where you can meet Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore.

The Crystal Palace is always one of the "must do's" I have when going to Disney. I love the design, the food, the atmosphere. While I have dined there for lunch, I have to say that their breakfast is my favorite. Their breakfast includes your classic Mickey waffles, breakfast potatoes, meats, eggs, fruit, pastries, and other breakfast goodies. But my favorite thing, the item that I always get at the Crystal Palace, is Pooh's Puffed French Toast. It is so delicious. They take toast, dip it in batter, fry it, them roll it in cinnamon and sugar. You can find it on the kid's buffet.
(and if you want to make it at home, you can find the recipe here: Pooh's Puffed French Toast)

doesn't that look delicious?

Because the Crystal Palace is a buffet and a character meal, it does have a higher price tag to it. These prices vary between meals (breakfast is less expensive than lunch, lunch is less expensive than dinner), and time of year. Most recently, breakfast for adults ranged in price from $24.99 to $32.00 and for children 3-9 $13.99 to $19.00. A way to get the most "bang for your buck" would be to make the Crystal Palace count for 2 meals...consider making a brunch reservation or a late lunch reservation. Not only are you dining at an "off time", you could potentially be saving your family a little bit of money.

The Crystal Palace is a beautiful place to dine. It's also the only place to meet Pooh and Friends. Consider it when making your future dining reservations.
