We always try to make a early morning reservation for the Crystal Palace so that we can gain access to the park prior to its official opening. Walking down Main Street with almost no one around is wonderful.
Our reservation was for 0815 and we where seated by 0810.
For a breakfast buffet the food is really good. A wide variety of choices. I was especially happy to see the lox and cream cheese.
My niece (age 29) nearly cried two years ago when there was no breakfast lasagna. Thankfully they had it this year, and it was as good as she described it. My very picky son really enjoyed the deep fried French toast.

Pros:

food

Cons:

can get a little loud

The food is your usual breakfast fare, they also have a cold buffet with salmon. Great Pooh's puffed french toast. Wasn't a fan of the breakfast lasgana.
The horrible part was our server. Our juice and water glasses sat empty for 10-15 minutes. Our server was no where to be seen. The server at the table next to us ended up filling our glasses after she had seen my frustration, and heard my DD 10say, that she was a better server than the one we had. Even children notice when servers are doing their job, and appreciate it!

Pros:

Food

Cons:

Service(only at our table)

This was our first breakfast here on 11/10/13. It is nice to get in before the park opens and get some pics in front of the castle before there are a ton of people. The food was good (better than Chef Mickey's). We were finished with food and characters at about the same time, and got out just as the park was about to open, so the timing was perfect. We will do this again (so long as we can get a reservation that allows us in before opening).

Pros:

Characters

Cons:

None

We had a 10 a.m. breakfast reservation but they, unfortunately, were having a hard time with seating so we had to wait almost a half hour. The only real negatives besides the wait is that half the buffet ended up closing because of lunch preparations and the characters all came to us at once (at the end of our meal). It really didn't bother us because they did keep quite a bit of food on the breakfast part of the buffet and our server worked very hard to get us our drinks and keep our table clean. Our kids loved seeing all the characters (Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet). Definitely recommend!

Pros:

Great food and character interaction!

Cons:

Wait for our table.

We got to our reservation early. We were seated right away. The chef came to the table to take us around the buffet to let me know what was safe for my son (peanut/dairy). The characters came around quickly. My daughter's and my favorite was the breakfast lasagna. Ryan loved the waffles and pancakes. The fresh fruit is delicious. I liked all of the breakfast selections, photos of the Pooh gang and done in an hour! I'll do this breakfast again.

Pros:

food, characters

Cons:

none

This was our 4th visit to Crystal Palace. I don't think we've ever had a bad visit here. The service is always exceptional, the food seems to be a bit better than the other breakfast buffets, the character interaction is top notch, and we just love the pre-park opening experience. Also a plus that the breakfast lasagna is back...YUM!!!!

Pros:

Characters, Service, Food, PrePark Opening

Cons:

none

We always have breakfast here every trip and this July was no exception. Character interaction is good. The food is your typical breakfast food and is good. The Crystal Palace is definitely very pretty inside. One of our favorites.

Pros:

Have to say that I was very disappointed. I wanted eggs over easy. Stood in line behind the people who were having their eggs prepared. Lady walks up next to me and is asked what she wants to eat. Hello!!! I was here. I let her go and walked away. Spoke to management and it was fixed. Food selection on the buffet was the same as other places. Certainly not worth the price. Waiter was nothing to write home about. Never got to see Pooh or Tigger.

Pros:

In Magic Kingdom

Cons:

ignored at the cooking station, service was so so

We chose to have breakfast here as we got a reservation time before the MK opened. Reservation time was for 8:15.

Upon check-in, CM was pleasant, took our name & handed us a pager. With in 5 minutes of restaurant opening we were seated.

The food was normal breakfast food, omelets, eggs, sausages, bacon, potatoes. Liked all the fresh cruit they offered. They also offered Puffed french toasted. Very good! There was bagels & bread to make toast. Mickey waffles!!. Everything was fresh & tasty.

Wait staff was very nice & drinks were always filled.

Characters took their time at the tables. Tigger bounced with DD(7) and Piglet was acting shy.

Glad we had breakfast here, it was a nice start to a very long day. We were finished with breakfast by 8:45.

Pros:

breakfast before park opens

Cons:

I gave this an 8 because of the feeling of being rushed. Also, when I ordered an omelet, the lady cooking it wasn't very pleasant as if I was bothering her.

The food, all in all, was very good. The fruit and pastries were fresh. My husband loves the breakfast lasagna and I have to say it was really good. Too much food for me as I just don't eat that much for breakfast.

The characters, as always, came to the table for pictures and we took advantage of that. I just felt like the people with the characters made us feel very rushed.

Pros:

Characters and choice of food

Cons:

Felt like I was being rushed when characters came by
