mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Looks like they are bringing over stuff from Liberty Tree and Crystal Palace Kitchens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I know it's a MK location, but that seems pricey for two reasons. 1. No characters. 2. More importantly...no "high priced" entrees. All those choices are Golden Corral-ish. No carved meat, prime ribs or steaks, or good seafood (mahi is farm raised garbage). I'm not a snotty eater....I'm just as happy with burgers as anything. But I don't like being overcharged for meatballs, mac n cheese and rice crispie treats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Dave, isn't Liberty that much for dinner? That's why we don't eat there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Dave, isn't Liberty that much for dinner? That's why we don't eat there. I've never eaten there either. I can make an entire Thanksgiving dinner for less than it costs for one person there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I hate to agree with DIT but that is steep for a basic buffet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 if they even bother to open at all.... 3 weeks and we never saw them open Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 It looks like they're trying to alleviate some of the Christmas week dining crush with this, and at the same time take advantage of the increased "holiday pricing" at many of the TS locations. Holiday pricing at Crystal palace is approx. $43 for adults and $21 for kids. Minus the characters, that puts this in the ballpark, albeit a pretty darned pricey ballpark.

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Great descriptions though for ordinary food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But...unless CP has gone down hill since I last dined there, they had a carving station, lots of great shellfish including mussels, a huge kids buffet, since really great hot dishes with a French flair....it was very nice. I agree with Carol; this sounds like they are carting over a selection of foods from other kitchens. But, they will fill the place up I am sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed this doesn't sound even close to what CP offers. Also agree they'll be jammed full. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
