Crystal Palace is a character buffet which serves Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner located on the west side of Main Street in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.  Themed architecturally like a conservatory, it is literally filled with sunshine as the windows allow the beautiful Florida sun to fill your meal with warmth.  You and your family will not be dining alone at Crystal Palace- expect visits right at your table from Winnie the Pooh and friends (usually Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet).  The buffet here offers a little something for everyone.  Breakfast includes all the traditional Disney buffet pieces including eggs, waffles, fruit, and baked goods.  At lunchtime there are stations for salad, deli, pasta, chicken and fish.  Dinner brings even more variety: roast beef, fish, chicken, beef choices, pasta, veggies, salad, breads, and of course a dessert area complete with sundaes.  Reservations here book up fast so be sure to call as close to your 180 day out window as possible!
