If you have your heart set on eating something specific in Disney World, we always recommend one thing: check the restaurant menu.

That’s because menu changes happen ALL the time: new foods get added and old favorites disappear. Prices go up, and sometimes they even go down. That’s why we take a look at Disney World restaurant menus every week: to help YOU keep track of those changes!

So let’s take a look at the Disney World restaurant menu changes this week!

Magic Kingdom

Crystal Palace

Now that character dining has returned to Crystal Palace, the price of the buffet has increased. For lunch and dinner, the buffet is now $59 per adult and $38 per child — before, it was $39 per adult and $23 per child.

We’ll say it again — if you’re worried that a Disney World menu change might leave you without your favorite food (or leave you with sticker shock at a price increase), be sure to look at the menus before your trip — you can do this on the My Disney Experience app or on the Disney World website. We’ll also keep reporting on menu changes!

Once you’re sure about what you want to eat, be sure to make those advance dining reservations as early as you can, which is 60 days before the first day of your trip!
