The Crystal Palace

The Crystal Palace the Magic KIngdom home to Winnie the Pooh and friends. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner the silly bear and his bouncy buddies prowl around the tables of this airy, delightful restaurant.

About the Crystal Palace

The restaurant is located between Main Street USA and Adventureland. To get there you turn toward Adventureland at Casey's Corner and follow the path. It's the big building with all the windows. (How'd you like to clean all of those windows?)

The food is served buffet style. There is a carving station and some of the food is prepared in a live on-stage kitchen. There is a separate buffet just for the kids called Pooh's Corner. It's filled with things like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and pizza.

All the meals are character meals. Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet make an appearance at every table during mealtimes.

Dad's Bottom Line

The Crystal Palace is a unique buffet. It's a great place for kids. The kids buffet is a great addition. The regular buffet sometimes tries too hard to be upscale. Still it's a good experience.
