A few Disney restaurants are taking a BIG step back to normal!
The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom
Today, Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge became the first buffet to open in Disney World since the parks closed last year. Other restaurants that used to be buffets have been using family-style service, but that’s about to change!
The Crystal Palace is an iconic Magic Kingdom restaurant that sits on the edge of the Cinderella Castle hub. The building is BEAUTIFUL and, in the past, it has been a great spot to meet friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.
The Crystal Palace Reopening
Since it reopened in December 2020, character dining has been on pause and the restaurant’s typical buffet has been swapped for family-style service. Now, though, the buffet at The Crystal Palace is set to return!
Crystal Palace in Disney’s Magic Kingdom used to be a lot different
Disney just announced that the buffet will open for lunch and dinner beginning September 12th!
Buffet Area Pre-Closure
Get ready to dine on a familiar menu of Parker House rolls, create-your-own fresh garden salad, seared pork tenderloin, fire-roasted prime rib, braised beef short ribs, and more.
Salads, Pasta, Couscous
