Hiya Clarice Nicole - welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your food question - it's one of my favorite topics to answer questions about! I can definitely relate to your situation. There are just too many delicious treats to experience during a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
While I'm unable to locate any specific policies, I can say from my own experiences that this has sometimes been allowed when I've asked, and a couple of isolated times I was told it was not permitted. The only instances when I've had trouble have been when I've taken to-go food I've purchased elsewhere to a Lounge location that also had food options and servers. It makes sense - this isn't fair to the servers who are essentially provided service, but might not be tipped accordingly because you purchased the food elsewhere. With The Crystal Palace currently operating as a buffet with a set price, that wouldn't be an issue here.
Here's how I view it, and of course, you may have different experiences ... If it's for a specific reason (e.g., to help out a picky eater in the crew), and doesn't mean you'll be ordering less food from your table service restaurant, while not encouraged, I wouldn't expect to have any issues.
When you arrive for your magical day at
Magic Kingdom Park, I suggest waltzing over to
The Crystal Palace and speaking to a Cast Member at the host stand before your reservation. They can help you make the most of your time at breakfast and also meet your waffle photography goals. For example, they may request that you keep the food items
not from The Crystal Palace in to-go boxes so other Guests don't assume that those items are available at The Crystal Palace, which could cause some confusion.
I hope this helps - please swing by with any additional questions as you continue planning!
