Went to Crystal Palace for the first time in years on our trip earlier in 2016 and will not return. The food was sparse, lukewarm and not a variety of choices. Was much better years ago when it was a cafeteria.
While I like the characters (which they rush) I wouldn't go back - I am paying almost $50 for food not pictures with the characters.

<p>My wife made a reservation for a 2 pm lunch; even though it rained and had turned cold they could not help us as we arrived 30 minutes early so we needed to stay outside. After that it all went downhill from there. Their floor supervisor could not accommodate because I was handicapped. I was driving an electric wheelchair that I had rented from the park. I was told that it had to be left 2 steps below grade from the entrance even though they have a ramp to drive the wheelchair. I don't quite understand as double size baby carriages were allowed and personal motor wheelchairs were all allowed but they took objection to the chair rented by the park at Majic Kingdom. On top of which then my wife helped me up the 2 steps and into the facility. The prime rib was fatty and I don't believe it was worth the $40, I paid. The catfish the wife ate she liked for $40. The bill was almost $100. NO, I would never eat there again</p>

there was 11 of us in our party. they tried to fit 6 people (4 adults, 2 children) at a table of 4, and then 4 adults at a small round table. then pushed both tables together. talk about being crowded.
food was good but not a very big selection. the desserts were goood especially the chocolate cream puffs, but not alot to choose from
when we were seated I noticed my cup had some liquid red stuff down the side of my cup and I had ordered hot tea. brought me another cup with dirt on the rim of the cup. by this time my water was cold. asked for a new cup and more hot water. brought the hot water, but forgot the cup. had a allergy in our party, waited for the chef by this time the men in our party were on their 3 plate of food. everyone was finished by the time the chef came out with a pasta dish for the person with the allergy. not worth $43.00, had a 12 yr old in my party and she was waiting for her mother to get her meal before she started to eat. by the time the chef came out with her mother's plate the 12 year old only ate 2 things which wasn't worth $43.00 so I guess I paid about $40.00 for her just to see Winnie the Pooh and characters
They need to change the pricing for children, not all 12 years eat alot. they need to have 1 price for 3-9, 10-13,, and then maybe charge the rest as adults.
My price for the meal came to about $454.00 with tip and tax. so I pay for 1 adult(child) that ate 2 things, I adult whose platter came out an hour after we were seated and a 3 years old that ate more than the 12 year old.
Always enjoyed this restaurant, especially for breakfast. Would I go back, probably not.
they did deduct the tip from my meal which was about $69.00
just was so disappointed with everything
our past experiences have been wonderful.
after this experience I probably won't do sit down dining anymore, will try the quick service meals.

Sadly, our dinner last night at Crystal Palace was disappointing and not the usual Disney dining experience we have always enjoyed for many years. Our dinner consisted of a very fatty Prime Rib and a tasteless Pork Chop was delivered to our table at the same time as our salad. The accompanying sides were unappetizing as well. Our server did not take our dessert order and automatically brought us a large dessert tray. We exchanged it for the Strawberry Shortcake but went unfinished because it was not tasty and the usual "shortcake". We will not be returning to the Crystal Palace.

The first time I tried this restaurant was in 2008 and it was one of the best in Disney World.
I went back last week and the food was horrible. I had some mac and cheese and chicken fingers. The mac and cheese was cold and tasted horrible and the chicken fingers were hard. The rest of my family also disliked the food. There wasn't much of a variety. Also, it was suppose to be a buffet but they stopped putting out new food so I only got one plate. The service was alright, I have received better. The only good part of this dinner was the characters came around and took many pictures with me and my family. Right when we were leaving wishes had started so they let us stand near the door and watch it from the porch. That was very nice.
I will never ever come back to this restaurant. I was very disappointed.
Pros:
characters, got to see wishesCons:

I went for dinner with my family at Crystal Palace. The characters are a big reason why kids will love this place. The food is a major reason why they won’t though. I guess Disney figured they could serve anything because of the character interaction with Pooh and his gang are so great. But I wouldn’t serve this food to a dog.
Even the usually dependable ice cream had no flavor. There was also a hard cookie section, the day old ones at my local supermarket tasted fresher. The Macaroni and Cheese looked like it was left over Stouffers from the night before and I didn’t want to even go near the chicken either.
There wasn’t many choices and what they did have wasn’t good. I looked around the corner to see if there was another section that I might have missed, but nope there was just more tables.
The atmosphere is abnormally bright inside because of all the windows and the unusually large amount of round lights.
Another strike against Crystal was the price. It was the most expensive meal I have ever had at Disney and it was the worst.
Stay away.

We ate here on Feb. 1 2013. I would not return for dinner. Don't get me wrong we always go for breakfast so we decided to try dinner. I will not do it again. The only thing I really enjoyed was the kids mac and cheese. There were other things that I ate but I was not impressed at all. There were 6 of us, 4 adults and all of us said it was ok but we would not go back!
