 Hey friends tonight, I am at the Magic Kingdom and I'm gonna be dining at the Crystal Palace because it just reopened So let's go do this and then after dinner We're gonna actually walk around the Magic Kingdom a little bit because look how beautiful it is It's the season tis the season and like I said the Crystal Palace just reopened And it is a completely different experience if you've dined at the Crystal Palace before This is nothing like that a hundred percent different I'm excited to see what changes they made the last time that I actually ate here was the night Disney World announced they were shutting down I was in here and I had that video and I was actually eating dinner and that's when I heard Hey, they're closing down Disney World and I was like what so I'm excited to be back here very excited Normally it's been known for a character buffet like the Crystal Palace a buffet with character But that's no more not even characters not even buffet So there's gonna be a lot to cover either way I'm very excited because I know what this restaurant can do and I love it. Oh That's me. Oh, thank you I'm just so excited to be back here the inside of this restaurant just literally Feels like a Disney restaurant and that's what I love about it As a lot of you know, this used to be where you can actually dine with Winnie the Pooh and friends And they actually used to come out and you can meet Piglet E or Tigger and even Winnie the Pooh himself But no characters anymore because of you know the pandemic that we're in but they do have some Topi areas here. We have Tigger and Piglet right there and On the other side, you probably got Winnie the Pooh and E or right there Look at them. Isn't that kind of cute and this was the buffet area So you would actually just walk around here and get whatever you want it And they had some amazing food hot wings jambalaya. I remember I really really love the buffet here so I'm excited to see what they have it's a pre-fixed meal now and I'm just happy to enjoy and be here Right here is my table for this evening. I like it. I like the boots and I like the view It's actually a really good view because we have a castle view I love it anywhere. You can just sit down and eat and stare at the castle I feel like that's just an added benefit Another thing that I like about the crystal palace is they actually have a very good beer and wine list and Special cocktails that they actually make in-house and you don't see that in many of the Magic Kingdom restaurants They'll always have like the beer and wine, but specially cocktails that seems like it's something special So I'm gonna have to get one of those as you can see We got the good old bug lights the Michelob and some angry orchard But down at the bottom is where you got the specialty cocktails They have a sparkling wine with orange juice and then a house made white sangria That's actually made with pineapple juice and fruit. So I think I'm gonna go with that. I mean, I'm gonna be fancy here I mean, I guess I'm gonna be really fancy. Look at that It's already here. I'm sure I fancy Wow They really do put the actual fruit in there. Oh, that is delicious Oh much too good for children I Literally can be drinking that all day all day. I say I Just got some amazing news from my waiter actually so coming in here I did know that the actual meal was a prefixed meal and you get your bread and salad and that's all you care to enjoy and Then you order your entree and you have to pick your entree from like the selection that they have But I did not know that the entrees are endless as well So you can actually get as many as you'd like but only the ones that you order So if you get the prime rib you can get another prime rib afterwards, but you can't like swap them up You can't get prime rib and then chicken, which is like a game-changer Especially for the price that blew my mind The bread and the salad just showed up and the bread is actually two different types of rolls They have like your traditional like roll right here and then a bacon cheddar roll and then three different types of butter And it looks like we have a jam and then a honey butter and then this is an onion butter And then the salad looks absolutely amazing and I'm not a big salad guy, but I'm gonna eat some of this I see we've got watermelon and we've got I think walnuts. Yeah. Wow. This is really impressive so far I'm definitely very excited to try the different dinner rolls that they have and especially the butter So I'm gonna start with a just a home style one and then I'm gonna get the honey butter first because we need a pool of honey So I feel like it goes hand-in-hand Yes, a little bit on there, you know, I wish Josh was here because I'd like to get his spreadability with all this butter. I Have to say I absolutely love the honey butter, but now I'm interested on the onion butter. We got a little bit of that. Oh boy, I Really can't even tell you what butter I like the most because they are all fantastic if anything I feel like the onion butter is the most unique tasting But I did not try the cheddar bacon biscuits yet Look at the inside of the cheddar bacon biscuits though. They look very good And I'm not a big cheddar biscuit fan mostly because of the cheddar So I'd like to know how these taste if I'm not a big fan of cheese. I do love bacon the bacon cheddar Biscuits are amazing. I can't even believe I'm saying that right now. I don't know what to say I don't know what I like more. I mean I Don't think you need the butter for the bacon cheddar biscuits I think you need the butter for the other ones. So use that and then eat these just the way that they are Now I'm gonna dive into the salad because this is like one of the most unique-looking salads I've seen and I'm excited. Oh, I see I got some tomato under there, too I'm gonna try to get everything in one bite But it's hard to get the nuts on the actual fork with the watermelon the lettuce and tomato But I think I can make this happen That is beyond amazing I can't believe there's a salad I love as much as this I don't know what's happening here guys. I've never had such an amazing experience from the get-go I have always been a very picky eater like I eat my things very plain I don't like sauces and I don't like cheeses, but recently I've been really Expanding my palate and trying new things and it's been so much fun And I think it's because of the videos so that's also because of you guys So thank you for giving me the courage to try these new things and experience different flavors that I've never even tried before You can take a look at the menu here. We have country fried chicken with a macaroni and cheese and collard greens a Brown sugar glazed bone-in pork chop a fire roasted prime rib of beef That's what I actually ordered a blackened catfish and shrimp and a southern fried cauliflower So they have like a lot of good options and even some really good sides and it's kind of like southern comfort food This is what I really like in this and After you get done with your entree they actually bring out a dessert platter with tons of different desserts on it I'm so excited to show you those as well Normally the buffets can run you about 59 99 But that was prior to the closure in the shutdown now the restaurants have opened up And they've been charging the same price some a little more so like here at the Magic Kingdom Cinderella's Castle is I think like $70 and it's $60 for some I did Hollywood and buying the other day It was the regular price and it was kind of set up like this But not all you can eat entrees, but this one right here is $40 for an adult. That is mind-blowing to me Absolutely amazing. That is the best price. I feel like at Disney. I am shook I'm trying not to eat all the rolls, but I absolutely love them and the more I dive into it The onion with the cheddar bacon biscuit best combination Absolutely, I mean you don't need actual any of the butters for the cheddar biscuits, but they're just it just adds to it and The prime rib is here Take a look at this guys. I am so excited We have a little tiny Yorkshire pudding, which I'm so excited to actually try some potatoes right here and Then these must be the collard greens on this side. Yes I'm just so excited to dive into this looks much too good. I'm gonna try the potatoes first Because they look absolutely amazing And now I'm gonna cut in to my prime rib Oh, this is gonna be so good. I can tell already. Oh, look at that This is it I've got high expectations It's literally just amazing I love it so much I Can't get over it. I think I need some aju like normally that's what you would get with a Prime rib, I would hope and that would be great to just like dip it in there But this is absolutely phenomenal Amazing actually my waiter actually just informed me that even though you can't swap out the adult entrees But you can't go from prime rib to chicken. You can change up the sides a little bit So if you want a different side, they'll let you like play around with that a little bit And that makes me excited because I want to try some other things the potatoes are good But I'm gonna see if they have other potatoes maybe and I've never had collard greens before so that's gonna be the first time I've ever had them Somehow I got caught up in the prime rib and I didn't stop I didn't even get to get that try the collard greens yet, but I'm gonna try them right now It's kind of like a lazy Susan Well friends, that's not even collard greens that is cream spinach and I don't know how I made that mistake But I don't like the cream spinach. I don't know about collard greens because I've never had it yet I'm sure there's a good amount of you guys just sitting there saying that's not collard greens But I guess you live and learn I just put it in order to get another one So it's gonna come with green beans and roasted potatoes a little bit of a change up and here is prime rib number two This piece is a lot bigger than the last one and he noticed I did switch out to the roasted potatoes and the green beans I know I'm gonna love those potatoes, but this is just it's like too good to be true. I Love how the prime rib is seasoned. It is like a perfect Blend of like I can just tell salt and pepper and garlic. It's really really really seasoned well I do like these just roasted potatoes a little bit better They have like a little tiny Italian seasoning on them very delicious Eating two of these is definitely a challenge. I feel very stuffed and I don't want to push it because We still have desserts But I did finish my house made white sangria and I'm gonna reuse all the fruit to put in my water Fancy that and now we have to get down to business and when I mean business, I mean dessert business Lordy Lordy Lordy, what did we get ourselves into here friends? This looks amazing Wow, I gotta give you the breakdown of everything First thing I want to show you guys is each one of these desserts represents Winnie the Pooh and friends Obviously we have tigger and then we got Pooh Bear Then we got rabbit and then we got ER no piglet unless the chocolate sauce is piglet I don't know but this looks unbelievable We have a hummingbird cake a banana cream cake and then this is a cupcake for Winnie the Pooh It's got a little bee on top and it's got caramel or honey in the middle and then these are fritters Kind of like donuts, but this is just so much to take in right they bring this out to the table And this is all you care to enjoy as well The first thing I want to try is that hummingbird cake over here. So we're gonna cut right down in there Oh boy. Oh Definitely, I could just tell I'm gonna love this And now I got to go with the banana Oh that fell apart really easily. It's like a tart. Oh, there we go. There we go You gotta try the other ones towards my favorite. Yep, just like that. I'm gonna take a second bite. That's how good it is Recently I've been noticing Disney's been using these cupcake like wrappers and they've been very difficult to open up Oh, but I think I did this one pretty successfully. So if you guys remember seeing the cupcake that is at Starbucks, it had like Little tiny hint of Mickey in the center. This is gonna have a little something hidden in the center as well I'm gonna try to cut it for you so you can see Oh That didn't go well. Oh, oh there it goes very fun and Then last but not least these little donor fritters They should put this like in a different ramekin because I don't know about the dunk ability here. Let's see. Oh Oh, oh boy that. Oh, what did I do? Oh It's like poop air stuck in a honeypot. There you go. That is way too much chocolate. Maybe we'll do this There we go. Okay. All right. There you go Maybe the donuts are actually for Rue because you don't go Rue, you know, you don't come in there So don't go Rue All of the desserts were amazing, but the banana cream tart was seriously the best thing I absolutely love it I wonder if you can get just all the banana cream tart because I would do that It was literally just that good. I don't know why it's like a perfect blend of ingredients Definitely my favorite dessert in a while, but honestly that was so amazing. I enjoyed every single thing about this dare I say This is my new food experience at Disney like this is my new favorite Disney dining. I'm sorry I said it $40 all you can eat dessert prime rib Beverage you can't go wrong. That is unbelievable and you're staring at the castle while you're eating like this is Iconic and I hope they do this with a lot more restaurants like they can take away the all you can eat buffets I much rather this more like Scenario this setup where you have the entree now I don't know if the entrees are always gonna be endless because I feel like it's one of those California grilled brunch things where it doesn't say that it's all you care to enjoy But they just bring them out so I don't know if that'll change anytime soon But I'm gonna try to take advantage of it as much as I can I think you guys should too Any hails we need to move out we need to get out of the crystal palace and explore the magic kingdom a little bit at nighttime And it's so crazy because you just actually leave and then just take a look at that This is why I love the crystal palace. This is amazing. Isn't it? Casually strolling around the magic kingdom at night, especially during the holidays is one of the greatest feelings ever There's no way anybody could ever come here and experience this and hate disney world I feel like it's just magic, especially during the holidays Just watching people enjoy the magic kingdom and just being all of the castle and taking hundreds of photos I used to be like that used to come on vacation and I probably took more pictures of this castle than any single thing Other than myself and I just absolutely loved the feeling you get I still take tons of pictures of the castle. What am I talking about? The reason i'm kind of being all sappy and emotional is because earlier I did tell you that the last time I ate at the crystal palaces was the night that I found out that disney was closing And I know at that moment I was just like wow, this is real like this is happening and it was such a feeling and Honestly, I didn't know if disney was going to reopen again. Like it was like kind of like a big blow Like it was real shocked I think disney land announced they were closing and that was like a week prior to that And then disney world announced and I was like, wow, I didn't think it was going to happen here But it happened everywhere and it was just such a thing and now look at us I didn't even think we were going to have a christmas this year and Like I'm I'm here. I'm here. I'm in the magic kingdom on christmas. I'm staring at multicolor lights right now There's the tree look at main street everyone's walking down with their cameras in the air just capturing everything And these are all the things we didn't think that we were going to actually get this year The castle the projections. They just recently added a couple of fireworks to it. Like this is amazing We would never be getting this And I guess we're gonna say goodbye to the christmas tree. There's a candle that's flickering right there And it's really catching my attention. I don't know if you're going to be able to see it But when it happens, it's going to be oh, there it is. Do you see it? Oh, I love it Anyhoo's I just love this tree. I just love this place I just love everything Anyhoo's I think I am done here for today. It was absolutely amazing. I love the crystal palace It's literally now my favorite dining experience at disney world at the moment You can't go wrong with the price. I loved it so much. So I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye Tonight we are dining at the crystal palace now This is my first time ever being here actually and it's always been on my bucket list And I don't know I just kind of felt like you know what today's gonna be the day So I booked a reservation party of one And uh, let's go do this Look at them Look at that Look at everyone. They're excited to see you as they're walking by. Hi Or maybe they don't see you. I see you I see you Oh, that is wonderful. Thank you Oh and then right outside the window happily ever after That's awesome Hi poo I was gonna say I'm like, oh wow. I've seen everybody now. Who's here? I love it Yeah, we're gonna head out I know don't thank you I felt so welcome here. What is poo doing? And that's gonna do it for me But on a side note as I was in there I got a notification on my phone and I found out that Disney is going to be closing Yeah They're closing March 16th to the end of the month and I'm just finding out about this so I don't know how many more vlogs I'm going to be able to do at Disney. I'm still going to make videos, but uh Wow, I'm going to have a whole three weeks without going to the parks Well, yeah, I guess it's for the best honestly if we can contain anything with the uh coronavirus I think it's good that we jump on it immediately. So until next time We'll see you. Bye
