Came for the character dining during dinner time, and will come back next trip!

We booked the dinner buffet here because we wanted to experience some character dining experience. Here you will meet the 100 Acre Woods characters – Tigger, Eyore, and Piglet walk around the restaurant, where Pooh was stationed at the very front for customers to come up to him instead.

We went earlier than regular dinner time and it was nice and quiet and had ample time with each of the characters. Even Pooh didn’t have a line unlike when we had left around 6.

The food here was actually really good. It has your standard buffet style items like breads and salads. They also have a great selection of meats as well. I truly enjoyed the rainbow carrots and broccoli – seriously, I was in desperate need of some veggies from all the sweet snacks we had been eating. The salmon was also something I truly enjoyed.

We were pretty full but I could never say no to a cookie and I spotted these cookies on the dessert table so I grabbed one. I was actually blown away – it was like a churro style cookie and blew my expectations out of the water! It was so good I went back up to grab a plate of just 4 more cookie. So so good! Not sure if they are available all year round, but they were some of the best cookies I had on Disney property without paying 6$ a cookie.

I had such a great time here with the characters and the food was really good that I will definitely be coming back here on my future Disney World trips.

Breakfast was great! Have those churro Mickey waffles! The price was definitely Disney World pricing. Staff were absolutely fantastic. Nice to be able to meet Pooh and friends. Mostly just typical Disney buffet breakfast. Possibly a one-and-done visit. Much better than Be Our Guest. Would recommend at least once.

We booked breakfast (weeks ahead) for six at The Crystal Palace to start our day in Magic Kingdom. We waited probably less than five minutes to be called in to our table. Service was most friendly of course, maybe hard to get a coffee refill. The restaurant is lovely and bright. I thought the buffet was one of the better ones; the choices were plentiful with varieties of eggs and meats, French toast, waffles, pancakes, and on. My fave was a desert, a cinnamon bun with lots of gooey sauce and pecan pieces. They got a “yum”.
And the characters–after all, that’s why we came. Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore in turn circulated every 90 minutes, and spent time at each table, lots of fun and time to take photos.

Food was delicious and service was on point. The cinnamon sugar waffles were the best part, I could’ve eaten a thousand but only managed two. Drinks were refilled without even asking, fresh smoked salmon was amazing, and the shrimp and grits hit the spot. Characters made it fun, they really take their time at each table. Yes it was pricey, but totally worth it for the character experience and the tasty food options. I’d go back for sure. Pro tip: go early to breakfast, we went at 8:10am, got preferred parking in Aladdin lot and got early access to the park.

We loved our visit to Crystal Palace! Our son had the best time meeting Winnie the Pooh and the characters, and he couldn’t get enough of the mac and cheese. The shrimp and grits were delicious and well seasoned, and the staff was so friendly and kind. A fantastic character dining experience!

This was one of the most cute experiences I’ve been to.
The whole cast was amazing, the food was delicious, I ended up having indigestion from all the food I ate and I forced myself to try because there was so delicious .
Was it expensive? Yes, of course.
Was it a buffet type? Yes, it was and it was amazing .
Was it all worth it? Every second was, I have no complains about the price, the food, the staff, the cast members.
I’ll 100% go back and do it again.

I brought my daughter here for her birthday and I have to say we had such a lovely experience. My daughter loved the buffet because they had lots of kid friendly options and my mom and I loved the food as well! The characters were so cute too and took their time with each table. I will also say the service is great. We were sat right in time and our server Kaitlin was so nice and incredibly sweet to my daughter.

Morning well spent with Winnie the Pooh and friends

Must visited place in Magic Kingdom

Spending my brunch with my friends (including Pooh Piglet Tigger Eeyore) It was a core memory that day even it’s raining outside cause it’s summer in Florida But still we have so much fun inside The food is good (it’s all we can eat buffet) and every cast member treated us well and we loved it so much!!!

Happy me for the rest of my day there at MK, hope everyone enjoyed eating at the Crystal Palace and don’t forget to ask for the Postcard of Winnie the Pooh and friends!!! Super duper cute!!! I’ll cherish this morning forever love xoxo

The food was disappointingwatery potatoes and the butter for the bread wasn’t real butter, just oil. At $65, it’s not worth the price at all. I’d recommend finding a more affordable place. The dishes weren’t well prepared, and the only positive thing about the experience was getting to see Tigger, Pooh, and Piglet.
Disney really needs to improve here. I wish more Disney influencers were honest about the quality instead of just saying everything is great because it’s Disney. Trust me, this restaurant is a hard pass, and I won’t be returning.

This was my second visit and a few things changed, but to be fair it had been about 8 years and a major pandemic. The food was good, I tried the shrimp and grits, pork, mashed potatoes, tri colored carrots, peel and eat shrimp and salad all was delicious. My little enjoyed the kids buffet selection and of course the ice cream machine. Our server Gustavo made our experience special and ensured we got face time with each of the traveling characters and reminded us to visit pooh before we left. He is a stationary character now. Our experience was top notch considering they completely changed my reservations by several hours to accommodate our needs.
