Walt Disney World - Magic Kingdom - Crystal Palace Sunset
The Crystal Palace is pure old school, "Vacation Kingdom of the World," Walt Disney World. The beauty--the grandeur--everything about it just embodies the Disney look and feel of the Resort's early days.
While some criticize the location for having character dining, I don't think the dining is fatal to the restaurant's allure in this era (full disclosure: I am a strong proponent of character dining). Although the restaurant could "speak for itself," I actually think the character dining makes people appreciate the restaurant more. In most instances, when character dining exists at a restaurant, you spend more time at the restaurant, and take in more of its details (because you're looking around at the characters, you inadvertently notice other things).
Plus, If the character dining is that much of an issue, you can always just ignore them and enjoy your meal (and even if you don't have kids and/or don't like characters yourself, it's fun to experience the joy vicariously through their interactions with the characters, and in my opinion, witnessing others having the Magic made for them is one of the great things about WDW). Finally, I think this is one of the best (second to Boma) buffets at WDW.
