1900 Park Fare

1900 Park Fare is the Character Dining experience at Grand Floridian.  Here you can dine with your favorite English characters including Mary Poppins, Alice, Pooh and friends for the Supercalifragelistic Breakfast.  At dinner, you will get to experience the Happily Ever After Cinderella meal complete with Cindy, her prince, and her step mother & step sisters! You will even get to witness the happy couple’s first dance! Both character meals are buffet and should be pre-booked well in advance to ensure seating.  There is often a wait here for people who DO have reservations!

    It is perfectly acceptable for adults to attend a character meal without children…especially this one at dinner. Cinderella, the Prince and the Step family spend plenty of time at each table and they even play with adults. The buffet is divided into sections by type of cuisine/country, so there is something for everyone. I think it has the best food of any character buffet.

    We just had breakfast here on 1/16/2012. We were very late for our reservation due to Monorail delays. It was no problem and we were seated immediately. The strawberry soup was wonderful. The lobster eggs benedict was good. The bacon was the thickest on the whole WDW property-all our other breakfasts the bacon was so thin you could read thru it! Delcious orange,guava,passionfruit juice. The whole buffett was fresh and delicious.Great character interaction.Great service. We will be back.

    My mother-in-law and I visited this restaurant for the first time on our last visit to WDW – it was charming! Alice in Wonderland, in particular was funny and engaging and all of the characters took time to chat with us. Make sure to try the cold strawberry soup!

    We made reservations for this restaurant last visit in 2009. It’s been a little while, but we really enjoyed it as did the kids. My son who says he ‘doesn’t like princesses’ makes an exception with Cinderella, and he thought the stepsisters were just hilarious! The food was really good I thought, as opposed to many other reviews about it all being bland and mediocre. Hey, if you can’t enjoy prime rib, what’s wrong with you?! We found the whole visit (photos included) to be a fun and filling venture :)

    We visited this restaurant for the first time last September. I had no idea it even existed until this last year and we’ve made many trips to Disney World. The food was very good for buffet and they had a good variety. The characters were great, and customer service was great. They were about an hour late getting us in for our reservation, and this was incredibly frustrating with a busy barely 4-year-old, but profusely apologized, and they made sure that we got to meet each of the characters, even though it was past the time they usually close.

    We went for the first time for dinner (Dec. 23, 2011), and we really had a good experience, the service the food and the characters were great. Stepmother and stepsisters are awesome.

    We really like dinning at 1900 Park Fare. The characters give you alot if table time and the food is good. Love the cold strawberry soup.

    We went for the first time for breakfast in Dec 2010. We saw Mary Poppins, the Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland, & Winnie the Pooh. I agree with Jamie, the food is pretty standard, but the character interaction was something special. They made the experience more than the more typical “stop & take a pic” – partly because the characters are allowed to speak, but also because I think they have a bit more time to spend at each table. We would definitely return.

    What a great dinner buffet. My whole family enjoyed the evening. My daughter was 10 and was in awe with Cinderella and Prince charming when they came by and talked just to her. My son and nephews age 18-21 had so much fun joking with the step sisters and the wicked step mother took a special interest in my husband and even danced with him in the special dance at the end of the evening. All the characters were truly awesome and stayed in character the whole evening. We all still talk about how much fun we had that evening. A Disney memory that I hope my children will remembered for a long time. :)

    We have enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner buffets. I didn’t feel the food was the best to be had at Disney. That being said the character interaction is top notch. You also meet up with some characters that may be hard to find in the parks. (Mad hatter, Prince Phillip, Step mother and step sisters, etc)

    Date of meal March 2009. I have to say that as a character meal, the best characters here at 1900 Park Fare for dinner is Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella. As funny as it sounds, they are warm and funny and real “people”. The Prince and Cindy were polite and aloof as real royalty being nice would be. Not too human an interaction. I loved that the characters all circled the room about 3 times by the time we finished our 1 hour plus meal so there were lots of photo ops and interaction opportunities. During the first dance, they invite all the little lords and ladies out to the floor as well which is fun. My daughter was on her Make a Wish trip and got to dance with the Prince. We appreciated that nice attention. :) The service was ok on drinks. The buffet meal was a total disappointment. After reading rave reviews on the disboards about the strawberry soup and the rest of the food, I was expecting Disney magic -not top of the line 5 star, but at least 3 star. The food was a little bland (and I generally like bland) and not seasoned well enough. Most of the buffet stations were just warmed/overwarmed up food. We had a 6p sitting and didn’t get in until closer to 7p. We had ordered a custom cake – it was terrible. Don’t waste your money. The chocolate sculpted roses were made with gum paste – yuch! I wish they had just used chocolate frosting as it would’ve tasted better. The custard filling was horrible and made the cake soggy. We didn” even finish one slice.
