crystal palace
Disney is really getting crazy with their food pricing. My parents took my kids to Disney and the ate at Crystal Palace yesterday for breakfast. Talked to them last night and they said it cost 125 (inc tip) for breakfast. 2 adults 2 kids. For eggs bacon and some french toast 125 bucks. That used to be amust on our trips. Theyve just outlived there usefullness for breakfast now. Time to start bringing cereal to the rooms for breakfast.

First, Crystal Palace is a character breakfast and so it is more. Secondly, it is a buffet. We never go there if we want a light breakfast. Only go if we are going to brunch. Then it is comparable to what you would pay for lunch or dinner buffet. Unfortunately, since they instituted free dining, most of the restaurants are overpriced in MHO.

I just saw where Disney raised their prices on all buffets. I think dinner at Crystal Palace is around $45.00 for an adult now.

retredfigment...buffet or not. Breakfast with or without characters, should not cost over 100 dollars fir 2 adults and 2 kids. My parents are suckers for my kids. Last year, it cost that much for me my wife and kids and parents. If i were there this year, after sitting down and seeing the prices, i would have walked out and gotten a muffin from the bakery on main st..

That's what we do. Quick breakfast in the room and save our appetite for a good lunch or dinner.
Crystal Palace, in our humble opinions, is no better than our local cafeteria chain - minus the characters. We found we could find the characters in the park for free. So not worth the price.

Yeah we saw the new prices for Crystal Palace last week and I started to get serious sticker shock from all our ADRs because the prices have gone up so much since we were there last, only a year ago. I think we will be passing by on a lot of restaurants we might have gone to if not for a $10 price increase per person. We'll have a full kitchen so we can probably eat better at our condo anyway, it's just so fun to get into the park early!

Crystal Palace current pricing for breakfast is $26.99 for adults and $14.99 for children under 10. So if your folks paid $125 for breakfast they gave a very healthy tip ($41.00), unless the kids are 10 and over. Still high for breakfast, even if it is a character buffet breakfast.

We only do 2 character meals per trip. This is always one of them. We've never been disppointed in the food with taste, quality or amount. When we do this breakfast, we usually skip lunch and opt for an early dinner (about 4-4:30). On our other days, it's cereal in the room. I find most meals more expensive at Disney than what I would pay at home. I have to look past that or I'll have indigestion for my entire vacation. I will say that the cost of the dinner buffets coupled with the fact that we wouldn't eat that much for dinner discourages me from going to one of those. I can justify the couple breakfasts though. This is why they have so many hotels and restaurants/food courts, in different price ranges, so they can appeal to more people.

I have read that the new price increases that started this month are:
$30.88 adult & $17.03 children (3-9) including tax at Tusker House, Hollywood & Vine, Crystal Palace and Cape May
$35.14 adult & $19.16 children (3-9) including tax at Chef Mickey
$26.62 adult & $14.90 children (3-9) including tax at 1900 Park Fare
$24.49 adult & $13.84 children (3-9) including tax at Boma
Outrageous!!!
On our first trip to WDW in Dec. 2005 we "splurged" on breakfast with Donald at AK because I had to see The Duck. I'm pretty sure the cost was $14.99 for an adult at that time. I know the economy has tanked and the cost of living has sky rocketed but this kind of increase still seems excessive to me.

Crystal Palace
We didn't like the Crystal Palace. It just wasn't good.
Keep smiling and Have a magical day!!!
It's all good.
We love to serve fun, food, and deliciousness.

IMO, any breakfast at any Disney restaurant is a waste of money. Get breakfast elsewhere (we eat in our resort room being DVCers).

For those of you that are complaining about Disney prices, have you been to Arbys' or Wendy's lately? Have you eaten out anywhere? The cost of grain, etc. is high and food prices everywhere are high. If you don't want to pay those prices don't eat there.

Wendy's? They have a value menu with items priced at 99 cents. You can get a hamburger, a small chili, and a soda for under $4.

The only reason I like going to Crystal Palace is being able to walk up Main Street USA when it's practically deserted. Makes for great photos. Don't know when I'll be doing that again though, because the new price increases are a bit much. Disney keeps raising prices without increasing quality. The food at CP is ordinary at best. I've had breakfasts just as good at Denny's and Perkins.
Until people wise up a little and stop going, the prices will continue to go up.

I agree with several points made here. Disney really is getting crazy with their ever increasing food prices. And character breakfasts in general offer the least value in all of Disney Dining. Over a $100 for breakfast? I choke up here at home if i pay over $40 for my family of 4. But that's home, and not Disney World. I expect to pay more there.
I must say, the one character breakfast i did try, Cape May, with Beach Donald, Goofy and Minnie, was fun. I enjoyed it and the food. But still, when i got the bill, i decided once was enough.

I'm seriously considering canceling my breakfast ADRs for Crystal Palace, 'Ohana and Boma this November. I'm not sure if I'll keep a single one. I can afford it, but this is ridiculous.
At first, I thought that $125 was an anomaly, but I don't think it is, going by TheDuckRocks's rates. What they're charging for breakfast at CP now is more than what I was charged for dinner at 'Ohana four years ago.
So for a CP breakfast for my family (2 adults, 1 4yo and 1 infant), it will cost about $70 before tax and tip and about $95 after tax & tip. FOR BREAKFAST! While I have had no problem in the past with character meals and other buffets costing more than a similar meal would at home, this is exhorbitant.
There is going to be a lot of sticker shock and angry people who don't know that a meal at these places is this expensive until the get the bill at the end of their meal.
This is a money grab, plain and simple. It looks like the era of Meg Crofton is rearing its head yet again.

Ditto!
Disney is pricing families out. Greed! I hope Walt is frozen, cuz if he isn't, he's spinning in his grave.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom
