Should I try for a Crystal Palace breakfast?

I'm pretty happy with our ADRs for Sept/Oct as I've managed to get us something everywhere we wanted to go including BOG and Ohana, but I keep seeing people recommend the Crystal Palace breakfast. Am I really missing something not booking this one? We have a breakfast at Garden Grill on our Epcot day and a BOG breakfast on our final MK day, for the others we were planning to eat in our room or at Perkins, IHOP, etc. I skipped CP when booking as we're two adults and not fussed about meeting the Winnie the Pooh characters, is there any other reason I should be trying to get a CP ADR? It'd hard to know where to draw the line, especially as we're staying off site so no DDP for us!

We are hoping to get CP on first day again... purely cause the kids love Pooh bear though...its a good breakfast I think, have done BOG before and liked it as well

CP is a good buffet with something called a breakfast lasagna, a sickly sweet concoction..!
If you are not fussed for the characters then its a lot to pay OOP for...

We have never done Ohanas so that will be on the ADR list to try and get

It's our first breakfast (early) tradition and it never gets old. The food is excellent and we have always had great service. Tigger bouncing around always gets us in the mood!

We did it yesterday I thought it was fine. I preferred garden grill and tusker house though.
It used to be good if you got an 8am adr but it doesn't get you anything extra now where as an 8am BOG will get you once or twice on mine train before everyone else.

8am ADR for us on the first morning of every trip.

It's become an unintentional tradition for us.

We're a couple with no kids, too, and we added in an ADR after seeing everyone raving about it here! I'm not too bothered about the character interaction (i'm really awkward) but the food seemed to come well recommended!

We did a CP breakfast as 2 adults who were not interested in the characters. We wanted to try some of the recommended food (french toast & breakfast lasagne).

The food was nice but I certainly wouldn't pay cash for it (character breakfasts are expensive!). We only tried it out because we had the free dining plan.

It's easy sometimes to be swayed by what everyone else has booked but honestly, I would say skip if you don't want to meet Pooh & Friends.

We enjoy it and have done it on the ddp and paying cash. Will be going again this trip and paying oop as it was my sister's choice for her 30th!

The food is nice but most of it is standard breakfast fare that you get anywhere on or offsite. There are a few items that are a bit unusual but i'm not sure i'd pay the hefty price tag if there was no interest in meeting Pooh and the gang!

+1.

Always first ADR at 8am if possible on first morning as we're awake at stupid o clock anyway with the body clock time difference - same as most people I expect.
