The restaurant theming keeps in step with the feeling of the good old days inspired by Walt\u2019s childhood town, Marcellene.<\/p>\n<p>In 1996, The Crystal Palace underwent a slight retheming.

While there are subtle changes to the buffet lines over the years, much of it stays the same. There really is something for everyone at this buffet, which is why it\u2019s perfect for families with small children or picky eaters.<\/p>\n<p>You will find favorites like fried chicken, mashed potatoes, pasta, carved prime rib, and a full salad bar. There is a \u201cchildren\u2019s section\u201d that showcases pizza, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets. People of any age can choose dishes from all over the buffet, but Disney does keep the child-friendly foods off to the side for them to find easily.<\/p>\n<p>NEW AFTER THE REOPENING: When The Crystal Palace restaurant reopened in 2020 we were surprised with a couple of new additions to the buffet line. Tiny seafood combo bowls were on the buffet line after the reopening.<strong> The bowls contained crab claws and shrimp. Jackpot!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone loves seafood, but you know what everyone does love? TATER TOTS! After The Crystal Palace reopened we were surprised to find a new loaded tater tot station for you to live your tater tot dreams. You can kick it classic with just ketchup, or you can get a little crazy with sour cream, cheese, bacon, and green onions. For the 50th Anniversary Celebration, Walt\u2019s chili is on the line to spice up some chili cheese totchos!<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing overly exciting on the buffet line that would make you fight to go to The Crystal Palace, but you will leave the restaurant happy, satisfied, and full.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reservations\"><\/span>Reservations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Crystal-Palace-at-Night.jpg\" alt=\"Disney World\u2019s Crystal Palace Character Buffet Restaurant\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Crystal-Palace-at-Night.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Crystal-Palace-at-Night-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Crystal-Palace-at-Night-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Crystal-Palace-at-Night-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is highly recommended to make an advanced dining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/disney-advance-dining-reservations-ultimate-guide\/\">reservation<\/a> for The Crystal Palace. At times, the Walk-up Waitlist is available, but it is not guaranteed or likely that you will get a table.<\/p>\n<p>You are able to make your dining reservations as early as 60 days in advance. Advanced dining reservations are easy to make using the My Disney Experience app.<\/p>\n<p>The Crystal Palace is in the Magic Kingdom, so remember you will need a valid park ticket and reservation. If you are in a different park on the day of the dining reservation you will need a park hopper ticket.<\/p>\n<p>For more about Disney dining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/disney-dining-overview\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Comments, Questions, be sure to leave them in the Comment Section Below!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div id=\"milit-819860657\" class=\"milit-after-content milit-entity-placement\"><br>\r\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/4V6YWP2M2DNAU\">Send Steve a Tip<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by The Crystal Palace is a classic Disney World Buffet right on Main Street, USA in the Magic Kingdom.
