Several points to consider:
1. We have never eaten at either restaurant
2. We have 2 girls ages 3 and 7
3. The 3-year old will eat anything. But the 7 and 32-year-old are extremely picky eaters.
4. Although the kids like characters, no one is an especially big fan of Pooh in particular
Currently, I have ADRs at Crystal Palace at 5:50. The MSEP starts at 7:00. Originally, I thought this would be plenty of time. But now I am second guessing myself. Sticking around to see all the characters really isn't that big of a deal. And we don't usually stake out a parade viewing spot in advance. So I think it's possible to hit the buffet hard and fast and then run out to see the parade from a less than ideal spot.
On the other hand, I can get a reservation for Liberty Tree Tavern at 5:15 which should allow for plenty of time to dine before the parade. But Josie is pretty picky. She probably wouldn't eat any of the meat offerings at LTT. Depending on her mood, she may not eat much there at all. On Thanksgiving, she usually eats rolls and maybe some mashed potatoes or veggies. CP seems more kid-friendly.
Any recommendations?
