Winnie the Pooh French Toast

One of the best restaurants in Disney World is the Crystal Palace.  From the food to the entertainment to the atmosphere, this is a HUGE hit for the entire family! It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is an all you can eat buffet.  My family and I always go for breakfast just because the breakfast foods are really special and spectacular.  They have wonderful breakfast potatoes covered in cheese, delicious egg casseroles, Mickey Mouse shaped waffles, a cooked to order omelet station, and the most fabulous french toast covered in cinnamon and sugar! Dinner is just as fabulous with a carving station, mashed potatoes, different vegetables, delicious breads, and fantastic apple crumbles and ice cream desserts! All meals have a fantastic kids buffet that you even catch adults sneaking food from sometimes!

Besides the great food is the fantastic atmosphere.  There is nothing better than walking down Main Street on a Sunday morning and entering this beautiful crystal room.  No lights are necessary because the sun glistens in the windows and illuminates the whole restaurant.  Beautiful topiaries of all of the Winnie the Pooh characters are in the center of the room.  It just can't get more beautiful than this!





On top of the food and atmosphere, this restaurant is also part of Disney's Character Dining.  Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet make their rounds at every meal from table to table to sign autographs and take pictures.  What a great way to meet characters without waiting on line in the Florida sun! Don't worry if you are at the buffet when the characters come to your table, they usually fit in 2 rounds to every table throughout one meal.  Every half hour, this restaurant goes into an uproar when all of the kids (and kids at heart) are invited to join the parade with the characters around the restaurant.
Don't miss this Disney favorite! Reservations go fast for this restaurant, especially for breakfast! Don't be late because this is one place you don't want to miss!!
