Hi there, Ashton! Welcome to planDisney!
Hip, hip, Pooh-ray for such a delightful question! When there’s a
rumbly in your tumbly, there is no better place to dine than with the
un-bear-ably sweet Pooh Bear and his friends at
The Crystal Palace. My granddaughter absolutely loves dining here, but honestly, even when my husband and I visit on our own, we still enjoy it just as much. The food is delicious, the characters are wonderful, and the bright, cheerful atmosphere always makes us smile! I’m so glad you have a reservation!
Ashton, I’m delighted to let you know that you’ve handled everything in the most
Tigger-ific, perfect way! When I travel with a large group, I usually make two separate reservations close to the same time, rather than trying for one large reservation. There isn’t a way to link the reservations online, but I recommend arriving about 15 minutes early for your first reservation. When you check in with the Cast Member at the restaurant, let them know your party is split into two reservations and that you’d love to sit near each other. While seating together isn’t guaranteed, from my years of experience, the Cast Members are always eager to make you
Pooh-tastically happy and will do their best to accommodate you so your group is close together.
I’m not sure if you will be visiting for breakfast to eat the most delicious Mickey Churro Waffles you’ll ever have in your life or if you’re dining for lunch or dinner to enjoy a fresh salad, fried chicken, or some roasted carved beef, but I do know that your party will leave feeling like
Winnie the Pooh-STUFFED in the most wonderful way!
I know you are going to have the most magical time. I notice that you’ll be in town just in time for the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. You’ll find so many artistic experiences at this festival, but my favorite experience is visiting the
Food Studios, where food is turned into delicious works of art! I hope you’ll have time to enjoy this!
Thanks for stopping by with your question. If we can help with anything else, please let us know. We’ll be here like Tigger, ready to
bounce in to help! Have the most magical visit!
TTFN-ta ta for now,
Shonette
