Time for another poll! This is the first in a series to discover Liners’ favorite Table Service Restaurant in WDW. I will add links to the other polls as I create them:
Aw, man. I won’t be able to participate in the next series of polls at all.
Still, it will be interesting to see the responses!
ETA: It would be nice to have this poll based on different criteria such as overall experience, food quality, etc Why? Because lots of people will choose a TS based on character interactions. But we don’t care two hoots about character interactions. So if character interactions were removed from the judging criteria, where would the rankings fall?
Have only done Tony’s, Crystal Palace and Liberty Tree but gotta go with Crystal Palace.
20 years on, I recall the food being fine, plentiful and of course the Hundred Acre Wood crew seals the deal.
Hopefully on the next trip, I can explore the other options.
I have been to Crystal Palace for breakfast every trip with my kids. I chose it as the best all- around experience, at least for now while my kids enjoy the characters.
We’ve also done Skipper Canteen, CRT and Be Our Guest (but not for dinner). Once my kids are older I think my favorite will be Skipper Canteen for theming and food choices.
Voted for Skipper’s as we really enjoy the atmosphere and like the food as it is a touch more exotic than most MK options. Surprised Be Our Guest isn’t getting a little more love as dinner has been pretty good albeit pricey. Crystal Palace is a quite enjoyable character buffet as well, but would have been my 3rd option…
I voted for Be Our Guest dinner mainly because my niece thought it was the most magical place she has ever been. She is 30 by the way…
Crystal Palace was the only table service we ate at for years. I have had good meals at LTT lunch and Plaza breakfast. I have never eaten at CRT or Tony’s. I know people like Skippers but they served me lamb that there was no way the kitchen did not know it had gone bad. That is the only restaurant in Disney that has served me spoiled food.
I don’t want to overly control what people base their vote on, but if you go to the Touring Plans page linked in the original post, they do rank each restaurant by different criteria.
Personally, I don’t care much for character interactions either, so that won’t enter into my equation when I vote.
This is good to hear. We had that on our reservations BC (before Covid) and still hope we can enjoy it. It always makes the list and then somehow gets cut so we’ve never had it.
I have never eaten at the Crystal Palace, but always have it on my list to try. Inevitably, it doesn’t make the final cut as our trip gets closer and we are slimming down our table reservations. What do you like most about it that keeps you coming back each trip?
We only do breakfast. The food is pretty standard. We just do it every trip bc of the characters and the nostalgia of it. It was the first meal we went to with our oldest when he was 2. And he’s now 22, lol.
I felt unqualified to vote, as I’ve only been to the Crystal Palace and I’ve never even heard of Liberty Tree… that said, for us we went to the Crystal Palace almost exclusively because that’s where Winnie the Pooh and his friends are. Overall, it was fairly good.
Surprisingly, my gluten-free wife liked all of the food options other than dessert (they claimed “the chef made these just for you” but we’re fairly certain they were Nabisco Chips Ahoy!)
I felt like the food was good enough to go back next trip but definitely not terribly amazing… but that’s not really the point. The point is - it’s a pretty building, with a fairly good buffet, and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too
