Which is better for lunch

[faberj]

Crystal Palace or Hollywood & Vine play and dine. My 3 yr old son loves the characters at both.
Thanks!

I would go with Crystal Palace. The food is much better there. I've returned several times, where as I've only eaten at H&V one time, and won't return. The food was average, at best. Whatever you decide, have a great trip!!

I would also say Crystal Palace.

It's been a couple of years since I went to H&V - but the previous posters comment about going once and done is so true! The kids loved the characters, but the food was awful. I'd vote for Crystal Palace.

I went to CP for breakfast in September and it was awesome!

As far as food goes, Crystal Palace gets the nod between these two. But H&V has characters that are hard to get pictures with. The 100 Acres gang can be found easily at MK and AK with minimal lines.

And for really good character breakfast with good food and good characters, try Tusker House at AK.

The food is better at Crystal Palace

Definitely CP over H&V for the food and the environment. H&V always seems to be much louder.

Five or six years ago, I would say H&V, but the decline in food and service there blows my mind. So CP for sure!

We just returned from an 8 day trip and did both! We had a group of 22 and everyone loved H&V for breakfast. It was very good and the experience for the kids was awesome. We went to CP for dinner one night. We enjoyed both.

Based on my DS' over the years (we have done both) CP would get my nod.

Crystal Palace...because *I* don't think I could stand the characters at H and V! Also - if you have little ones (which I assume you do, thought I guess some teens love Tigger ;-) You'll probably be spending more of your time at Magic Kingdom than DHS anyway.

I haven't eaten at either, my kids were never fans of any characters at either location. That said, I would pick Crystal Palace based solely on reviews. H&V seems to consistently get horrible reviews based on the food.
