DISNEY’S Crystal Palace Character Dining Review | MAGIC KINGDOM New Year’s Eve Fireworks 2023

New Year's Eve at Magic Kingdom with Fireworks 2023 and Disney's Crystal Palace Character Dining Review
Happy New Year Traveler Family! What better way to ring in the new year than by sharing our adventure at Disney's Crystal Palace and our view of the Fireworks from the Hub at the Magic Kingdom. Crystal Palace Character Dining is a buffett filled with all sorts of delicious dishes. Although the desserts were underwhelming, the character interaction more than made up for them. I don't think we really go to Crystal Palace for the food anyway do we? But the main entrees leave you satisfied enough with the characters as the "cherry on top". It's on the list of must do's at Magic Kingdom and as always the service was outstanding!
We wish you and your family a very safe and Happy New Year! We look forward to meeting more of our family and sharing a little bit of the Disney magic with you!
Until next time be safe, be kind and always remember...Travel and Adventure is Out There!

One of my favorite character meals! Thanks for sharing!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It was so fun and the characters were awesome. The food was good but really just your standard buffet food. I am really excited to see what Chef Mickeys offers once they go back to buffet on March 1st.

[@ritaglica8317]

Happy and healthy new year Todd and Michelle. Love and look forward to all your videos.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Rita thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. We are so happy you are part of our traveling family. We hope you have a wonderful new year.

Happy New Year to you and the whole family! What a great year of Disney, foodie and cruise episodes! I loved them all ❤ I love me some Pooh Bear buffet!! Dinner looks good but…Breakfast is the best! 🥞

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hi @Debbie Anderson ! Thank you and Happy New Year and a prosperous 2023 to you! Pooh and Butterscotch Pudding - a match made in Disney. We will have to try the breakfast! Thanks for being a part of our Traveler Family! - Michelle

[@floridadreams263]

Happy New Year! I'm catching up on the videos I missed. We do love the Crystal Palace. We haven't been here since the characters have returned. We are going the Magic Kingdom today and we have a reservation at Liberty Tree Tavern.. Have a great day!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hi There! Ahhh Liberty Tree Tavern is probably our favorite most sentimental restaurant! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for supporting us and being a part of our Traveler Family! - Michelle

[@angelaellis964]

Happy New Year, Todd & Michelle. The buffet looked good, but I have a very small appetite, so I wouldn't get my money's worth 😂. It's definitely worth it for the character interaction, though! Xxx

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Angela the food was really good but it was definitely all about the characters. We hope you have a safe and great 2023. Thank you so much for being part of our traveling family.

[@michellewilwohl4853]

Davina happy New Year to you as well. We will let Becca you said hello. Hope all is well and that you have had a fantastic weekend.

[@disneydogs3003]

Great video guys! Crystal Palace is my favorite restaurant at MK especially seeing the Characters. The Fireworks 💥 was amazing it made me cry 😢 wishing I was there. Love the shirt Todd where did you get it? Michelle I sent you a message at Etsy, when you get a chance if you can take a look. Thank you for a wonderful “2022”. Happy New Year’s to you both and the family. Looking forward to more Traveling Adventures in “2023”. ❤ 😊

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hi @Disney Dogs ! Aww, the fireworks were fantastic in person. Always are!! My mom made that shirt for him for Christmas! She is so great at sewing. Yes I did see your message and sent you one back! Happy New Year to you as well. Many blessings for 2023! Thanks so much for being a part of our Traveler Family! - Michelle

Thank you for traveling along with us..

[@sandypandys]

i agree the desserts were a miss but the rest was decent enough thgat the characters make it worth😀🥰 the cost

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Yes! By dessert time we were already so full! I wasn't really interested in dessert which is honestly how most people feel. So the desserts can be just so so. - Michelle

[@GrumpyCanCan]

Never ate grits either and I was born, raised and still live in the South.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Candace how can this be??? I absolutely love them with a fried egg and good buttered piece of toast. You definitely have to give them a try..

[@GrumpyCanCan]

@Traveling Around Disney I don't do oatmeal, BBQ or seafood....I know...what is wrong with me. 🥴😵‍💫

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

What no BBQ???????

[@GrumpyCanCan]

@Traveling Around Disney yep, if we go anywhere that's a BBQ joint I gotta ask for no BBQ on my stuff. If going out with friends and they want a seafood place gotta make sure they serve something else, which is usually chicken. Lol.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

I will make a note of that for your return trip…

[@disney7708]

Is the crispy fried chicken the same as the kids chicken fingers or is it actually friend chicken breast

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

When we went it was actually fried chicken one of Walt’s favorites but that was over a year ago. Not sure what is on the menu now. Thanks for traveling along with us. Have a great rest of the weekend

[@toyman70]

I think he went ham in the pirates of the Caribbean gift shop and just wants to show off his new wares. I want to know is he even eating anything. ..

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

RIGHT! We never seen him with any food! He must have walked by the table at least 8 times lol. He was sitting around the corner so he just drifted off into the restaurant crowd lol. So funny that we saw him again outside! Have a fun and safe night! - Michelle

[@Frecklesk32]

Please tell us why there is a hump in the road . 🥰

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Well back in the day they use to have a water way all the way around the hub for the swan boats. When they re did the hub for more fireworks viewing and hub grass areas. So they filled it in and that is the spot where the bridge use to be over the water.
