John,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
When you include the walk from the
monorail, the bus depot, or the marina dock to the front of the park, and then from there to
The Crystal Palace, the total distance can be about 1/4 mile. The actual distance from the main entrance of the
Magic Kingdom to the front of The Crystal Palace is about 900 feet, or .17 of a mile (.27 km). So basically, a football field trip to your fantastic meal!
BONUS TIP #1If you arrive to The Crystal Palace early, there are some covered waiting areas along the front of the restaurant. They are not only a great place to wait out from under the Florida sun, but they offer an elevated vantage point to take in the wonderful views of Cinderella Castle and the main hub of the park.
BONUS TIP #2In case this is your first time, or you have not visited in a while, The Crystal Palace is now one of the restaurants in the Magic Kingdom that offers alcoholic beverages. Even at breakfast you can grab a mimosa before you start your day.
Please feel free to
write me back directly if you have any follow-up questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!Doug
