Greetings, John.
Hip hip hooray, I'm so glad you stopped by planDisney today! It's always wonderful to see another Disney friend around the Hundred Acre Wood, so welcome back!
When there’s a rumbly in your tumbly, there’s no better place to be than
The Crystal Palace in
Magic Kingdom Park. The smorgasbord of delectable dishes on the buffet is enough to satisfy even the greatest of hunger, the view of Cinderella Castle is pretty spectacular, and the service is great. Plus, you can’t beat meeting Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet. It’s one of my family’s go-to restaurants on our Disney vacations, and I know you’ll love it too.
While you do need to provide an active credit or debit card at the time of booking a reservation, your card will not be charged for your meal. In other words, you do not need to prepay for a meal at The Crystal Palace at this time. Your card is used as a placeholder of sorts. If you don’t show up for your reservation, your card will be charged a no-show fee in accordance with the
dining cancellation policy. You will be able to pay for your meal after you finish eating.
As you dine, the characters will come around to your table. If you miss a meet-and-greet with one of them while you are fixing your plate or for any other reason, just let your server know. They’ll make sure you have a chance to get that hug and snap a photo before you leave.
John, I hope this information helps you breathe a great, big, beautiful sigh of relief. If you think of anything else, please stop by and let us know. We’re all ears and happy to help.
Until next time,
Alyssa
