My New Favorite Breakfast in Disney World
Located in Magic Kingdom, The Crystal Palace is inspired by the famous glass structure in London's Hyde Park. The restaurant has a bright, inviting atmosphere, boasting colorful decorations and large windows that provide beautiful views of the park. The menu features a variety of American breakfast classics with a selection of all-you-care-to-enjoy favorites such as the Mickey Churro Waffle. In addition to the tasty food, the restaurant also offers a character dining experience, where guests can meet Winnie the Pooh and his friends during their Friendship Day Celebration!
With its bright decor, delicious food, and character experience, the Crystal Palace breakfast has become my new favorite while visiting Disney World!
All You Care to Enjoy
At the Crystal Palace breakfast is serviced with an all-you-care-to-enjoy menu, priced per person.
Included on the breakfast menu are typical breakfast offerings such as freshly baked pastries, fruit and more! Below you’ll find a list of what was offered in my recent 2023 trip.
For the sake of saving stomach room, I chose to review the more unique options. Keep in mind the offerings may vary but here’s what they had on my recent 2023 trip:

The Mickey Churro Waffle!
Along with the other amazing offerings, there are a few unique twists here like the churro Mickey waffle! When I tell you I think about this every week, I’m not kidding. Light & fluffy on the inside, crispy cinnamon sugar goodness on the outside, it’s perfection. It SHOULD be on your Disney bucket-list to try these!
The Characters!
Say Hello to Winnie the Pooh, Tiger, Piglet and Eeyore. The characters walk around several times while dining. I’ve had the sweetest character interactions here. They will stop & give hugs and take photos if you wish!
Another Reason to Visit the Crystal Palace for Breakfast
Along with a few other sit-down restaurants inside Disney World, this one tends to open BEFORE the park officially opens for guests. Take advantage of this and book an early dining time! Before checking in it’s your chance to get a mostly empty Castle photoshoot before the crowds come in. And after dining on unlimited churro waffles, you can get ahead start for rope dropping rides before the early entry crowd. Talk about the perfect morning!!
