Crystal Palace - breakfast or lunch?

angel's momma · 01-24-2004

Just wondering if anyone has a preference

ajbdk5 · 01-24-2004

Definitely breakfast!:)
Just my opinion, but lunch is pretty much a glorified meat tray.:whistle:

**Dana** · 01-24-2004

Breakfast. I usually preferto eat a small lunch and have decent size breakfasts and dinners. The Crstal Palace is the perfect way to start your day and get you into the magic kindom before opening ;)

tinkerbell · 01-24-2004

well I would say breakfast, but really I like Dinner better because if you get near a window you can watch the fireworks, with your dinner ( late dinner)
DH said that he picks breakfast only because you can get in the park early but he perfers lunch. He said your not losing any park time because you are eating before the park opens :)

We always like to do a late breakfaast on early entry day. That way the kids get to play for awhile, eat a great meal, see the characters and then play for the rest of the day. There is enough there to fill you up until supper.

I would say breakfast to get in early. But we also enjoy dinner. My DH loves prime rib & they have it there. He is happy because of the food & I am happy to see the characters.

sandanv1 · 01-24-2004

most definatly breakfast. It is one of the best

DougiesMommy · 01-27-2004

I ate both breakfast and lunch during our trip in December. I found both meals to be wonderful. But the breakfast lasagna is something not to be missed and made breakfast just that much better.

gcbdad · 01-27-2004

So are you saying that I should change my PS for lunch on this Thursday? We are only going for the day so we will eat something before we leave for Breakfast.

BuzzLightyear · 01-28-2004

Just a thought...
Crystal Palace works out perfectly for lunch. If you get to the MK early, have lunch at CP, then head out of the park as it becomes crowded.
Thats what we did a few times on Early Entry days and it worked out great.
Have Fun!!!

ilvminnie · 01-28-2004

I've done both lunch & breakfast & prefer lunch. Maybe because breakfast usually isn't that big a deal for me, but I think also because it's a nice relaxing break in the middle of the day. If I was going to do a character breakfast I'd pick the princess breakfast in Norway at EPCOT. I love that atmosphere & of course there's the princesses....I don't know who enjoys them more, Rafikiman or DD!!!! But we love CP for lunch. We will generally make that our "good-bye meal" before we head out of town on our last day. In Aug our flight was a little earlier so we did breakfast & it was wonderful...but really I think because they celebrated DD's 18th birthday & we got to hook up with Tinkerbell & family! I vote LUNCH!!!

jbjags · 01-29-2004

we like lunch better only because our kids are not great breakfast eaters and eat lunch much better. But like what was said both are good you just have to look at it which one will you kids eat better.

gcbdad · 01-30-2004

We went yesterday and had a 1:35 PS. We checked earlier and got seated at 1:00. The lunch was very good and the kids loved the characters. All in all I would highly recommend having lunch at CP.

pixie_1999 · 01-31-2004

we do have a breakfast at cp on our things to do,i have heard good things not only on the character interaction but also that the food wasn't bad....

WEDINDISNEY · 02-01-2004

We had breakfast at CP on our last trip and we LOVED it.. Not to mention that I love Pooh so. I think that we might have to try dinner there on our next trip.
