Service was slow, and food was not good. Tasted like elementary cafeteria food. With so many other great choices, I’d stay away from this one.

We went to the Crystal Palace restaurant for our Honeymoon dinner! Our waitress was very nice! Always came by to check on us & was very helpful! The food was also delicious! 😋 My favorite part of the restaurant is the character interactions! We had the characters visit our table & it was very memorable & exciting! 😍

Brunch here was pretty disappointing. The buffet was lower quality than any other Disney buffet I've experience and wasn't worth the $60+ cost. Food wise, there's so many better options nearby.

The only good thing was the waiter. He went out of his way to make sure my kids got to meet the characters. Otherwise the food was complete trash at an asinine price. My kids barely ate the nasty buffet. I paid over $300 (family of four)garbage food. I have had better quality from Denny’s. Disney ought to be ashamed they charge that much for such crap.

I went on a wild goose chase with my 4 year old in one arm trying to find our stroller. Not one cast member could find it. I asked for the manager. He goes, “what does it look like?” It looks like the other thousand strollers out here. I finally found it on my own after 15 minutes. Deprived my kid of an extra ride before leaving for the night. Walt would turn over in his grave if he heard about this terrible lack of customer service.
