Crystal Palace

$$-$$$, American, Magic Kingdom

User Rating: **** 4.1

Fodor's Review:

Named for the big glass atrium surrounding the restaurant, the Crystal Palace is a great escape in summer, when the air-conditioning is turned to near meat-locker level. The buffet-style meal includes prime rib, peel-and-eat shrimp, soups, pastas, fresh-baked breads, and ice-cream sundaes, all part of a one-price package (dinner price is $28 for adults). There's also a kids-only buffet with what many youngsters consider the basic food groups: macaroni and cheese, pizza, and chocolate chip cookies for $13. per child. The Crystal Palace is huge but charming with numerous nooks and crannies, comfortable banquettes, cozy cast-iron tables, and abundant sunlight. It's also one of the few places in the Magic Kingdom that serves breakfast. Winnie the Pooh and his pals from the Hundred Acre Wood visit at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

great time

We had a character breakfast here, and we had a great time. The main appeal is the characters, but both the food and the service were good as well.

Wonderful

Okay, the food here is a buffet, so nothing much is expected, right? That being said, it's a very nice buffet for lunch. The real treat is the atmosphere brought by the Pooh characters and the service - both of which were TREMENDOUS. The Pooh characters took time with the tables - not rushing.
