Crystal Palace Brings Back Character Dining September 20

Eeyore - Crystal Palace Character Dining - Magic Kingdom Meet and Greet Character

Winnie the Pooh and Friends are returning to one of our favorite character dining locations in Magic Kingdom. While this character dining used to be offered all day, The Crystal Palace: A Buffet with Characters will be available for lunch and dinner. According to Disney, the all-you-care-to-eat buffet will feature Carved Prime Rib, Seasonal Ravioli, and Peel & Eat Shrimp.

Crystal Palace is located on Main Street, near Casey’s Corner.

Disney Dining Tip: In the past, Crystal Palace has been the most affordable character dining option in Magic Kingdom. We recommend this option if you want to save some money compared to Cinderella’s Royal Table.
