1900 Park Fare

Loved the experience, don’t make reservations for 8:10pm. They ran out of food and started serving black and blue prime rib. Too rare for my stomach. Mashed potatoes and aujus were my favorite part. Special Mickey Mouse Cake for birthday’s is the best and coolest add on you can buy for that special someone. Must mention while checking in to get it.

Overpriced and rushed. Took my daughter for dinner, food was basic - similar to a hospital canteen and disappointing that you had to help yourself. We waiting at the entrance for 10 minutes to be seated in a half empty restaurant with many staff standing around twiddling their thumbs. 3/4 characters had come round before we got a chance to get up to the buffet, the interactions were quick and lacklustre. We ate our meal expecting the characters to mingle around - no they shot off out the back and that was it, when I asked if they were coming back out I was told no they’d seen everyone and were away, this was soo disappointing, I didn’t expect they would continually greet everyone individually but I did think they would be walking around even 1-2 at a time. Upon returning from getting desert (2 mins max) the table had been cleared of everything - drinks, cutlery and was being cleaned for the next guests, says it all really. The experience cost $87 including tip (for bringing us two drinks), that was for one adult as my daughter is under 3. A total rip off and forgettable experience. Definitely disappointing and not what I was expecting from Disney world. Won’t be doing it again, save your money.

The food was way better than I thought. The characters were all VERY nice and made sure that they didn’t leave anyone out. My complaint is for my waitress. She was great all the way until I gave her my card to pay for the meal. As soon as she processed my payment she completely changed. While we were finishing our dessert, someone came around with a clipboard asking if we met all the characters, had a good experience or needed anything. My son asked for a refill (we asked the waitress earlier by the way). The woman with the clipboard ASKED if he wanted it to go. He said yes. So we all asked if we could get one to go. She said absolutely and told us she would let our waitress know. The waitress eventually came and threw the cups on the table and walked away. There was nothing to pour in the cups. Which is why a refill was asked. We were in disbelief and when the woman with the clipboard came back we explained that we were just given cups. The waitress came back around with 2 refills, a half smile and walked away. There were 4 people at the table. I left a 20% tip anyway and I wish I hadn’t. The next night we went to Chef Mickey and our experience was MUCH better. Despite everything else, a terrible waitress will always ruin the experience. I don’t remember her name but she was an older woman from a City that starts with O in NY.

I would say the restaurant is overall a positive experience, It is on the first floor in the Grand Floridian Hotel, The restaurant is a meet and greet restaurant, several characters such as Cinderella and Aladdin will visit your table, with a photo opportunity available with each character, They make sure that all characters pass by your table at least once. The service is also great, the server is attentive, and you will not be waiting long to have your plates removed (It is a buffet). The one downside is that for $70 per person, The buffet is not very impressive, It is a fairly small buffet and the selection is not particularly large, overall it is probably overpriced when considering what you get for your money, I am referring specifically to the food. Overall this is a 4 star restaurant, with the only downside being the quality of the food.

Me and my sister went for breakfast and had meet and greets with characters. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was top tier. Our server was Tania we went on 10/10 she Is absolutely phenomenal and definitely deserves a Raiseher friendly demeanor and warm smile really made the experience amazing.

Located at 1st floor of the luxurious Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, 1900 Park Fare is a character dining buffet restaurant that recently reopened on April 10, 2024 after being closed since 2020. This restaurant offers both breakfast and dinner with Disney's characters interactions, making it a delightful experience for families and Disney fans. **Pricing (as of July 2024):** - **Breakfast (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM):** $54 for adults / $34 for children - **Dinner (4:00 PM - 9:00 PM):** $66 for adults / $41 for children The characters at 1900 Park Fare are a bit different from those you might see elsewhere, featuring Aladdin, Mirabel, Princess Tiana, and Cinderella. We made our dinner reservation at 4:20 PM exactly 60 days in advance. By the day of, the app was already showing that the walk-up list was full and unavailable to join the line in person. This restaurant is great for families, but for small party like 2 of us would be arranged to be seated in the area sectioned off by three square columns. This area only has two tables either for party of 1 or 2 which we were fine with it because we were literally sitting in the center of the restaurant and could see the whole dining area. When we were seated, the server gave us a postcard and a pencil to write down a wish. During the dining, four characters gathered for interaction with all the guests, and if you've written down a wish to interact with a specific character, they would try to make it come true when they reached your table. For example, a princess might take your child on a little walk around the dining area. One thing we noticed was that while the characters did move around the restaurant frequently, they only stopped at each table ONCE for interaction and taking photos together --unlike in other character dining experiences where characters would come back multiple times for interactions. **Food:** The food was overall decent, though the selection wasn't extensive enough if it charges that much. The dessert options, however, were plentiful and mostly delicious. One standout was the Strawberry Soup--definitely worth trying! After we were stuffed, we took a stroll around the hotel to explore more. The hotel is conveniently connected to Magic Kingdom by the monorail, which drops you off on the second floor of the hotel, just a short walk to the restaurant on the first floor. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I recommend it to anyone who especially loves these characters!

Fantastic meal. I ate probably three plates worth at breakfast, sampling as much as I could fit from the vast buffets. I went for the food, but there were also four characters that came through and stopped by for a photo and to say hello with each table. If you're traveling with small children, I'd probably advise them in advance how the characters will make their way around as it may seem like a long wait to the littles. Staff was very attentive with refilling my juice - I don't think it got below half before it was topped off. Overall the staff were friendly and helpful. The decor isn't anything crazy; it's more subtle than some Disney restaurants, but I liked that. If you're an adult traveling without children, definitely be advised that most of your table neighbors will have kids, so keep that in mind if that vibe is/isn't for you. It is more pricey than your regular breakfast option, but the experience makes it a fun treat meal.

Incredible experience. We went for our 1 year olds first birthday and seeing her face light up when “Mirabel” stopped by the table will Never leave my mind. As with the rest of Disney it’s definitely a little pricey but the experience is well worth the money. We were able to meet Mirabel, Aladdin, Tiana and Cinderella! My daughter absolutely adores Tiana and Mirabel and the actresses did not disappoint they spent several minutes with our little one, signed her book, took multiple photos, wished her their own unique happy birthday in character. The buffet was exceptional, staff was helpful and courteous. Highly recommend!!

10 stars... seriously!!! This was a First time here for my daughters... I have been to Disney world 8 or so times. We had a character dining experience in 2021 and it was awesome...but this was fantastic!!! This experience made the trip!! The smiles on my girls faces and they talked about it every day of the trip... Makes my heart warm. We had a reservation and the app worked flawlessly. We got checked in at the host station. Seated quick and greeted quickly with a smile from Helen She informed us about how the menu items work and took our drink order - I ordered a mimosa- so cheers- that was a great thirst quencher. Eggs, sausage, Mickey waffles, a fresh fruit platter, donuts/sweet rolls,cheesy potatoes,bacon, ham, yogurt w granola. .. the bread pudding was over the top!!!!. Yummo. I left full as my stomach allowed. The kitchen did a fantastic job! Mirabel, Tiana, Cinderella, Aladdin did amazing on the character dining experience. Our next trip to Disney we will do this again!!! Super clean bathrooms! Staff seemed to work well together and seemed happy so kudos to them for a job done well. This was well worth the premium price! Walt Disney World does a marvelous job of keep it the most magical place on earth! Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

11/16/15 it's 75$/ adult no matter what you get off the buffet. So for my son noodles with marinara- beer extra. My wife: a cheeseburger- $75 My daughter-in-law- breaded chicken cutlet- - $75 grandson- potato pancake- $45 (children half price And I had a small serving of pot roast for $75 . Perhaps 200 guests and 3 characters had to hit every table.

Located inside the Grand Floridian hotel, I have mixed emotions about this experience. We did the character breakfast, and the cast members were all enchanting and amazing as expected. Truly, Aladdin, Tiana, Mirabel, and Cinderella were absolutely flawlessly in character and were great with the kids. Cinderella, in particular, was perfect with her mannerisms and in the sweet way she interacted with my nieces. Even the servers were genuinely friendly and welcoming. As for the food, the standouts were the cheesy potatoes, beefy hash browns, chicken sausage, and bread pudding. The chocolate muffin was delicious, as well, and the kids loved having gummy bears with breakfast. Unfortunately, the pork sausage was tough, and I ended up spitting it out. The egg on the eggs Benedict still had runny whites, which is always gross. As far as ambience goes, the furnishings and decor are very dated. I realize the theme is era-driven, but I've seen this done properly, in a way that feels fresh while preserving the charm. Rather than fresh, the room emits drab and granny. Glad we did it for the characters but will probably try a different restaurant next time.

We made reservations for a party or 8 on a busy Sunday morning right before Thanksgiving, when we were guided to our tables it was the back area at 2 tables that were separated from each other which we were all a bit taken back. Our reservations specifically included there were 2 children including 1 infant and the tables were not even pushed together. Not sure why the wait staff would think we did not want to be seated together at one table. I mean at least push them together! So when we asked the host to do so the tables were unleveled making it difficult to sit our 1 year old comfortably. We were then moved to then the loud noisy dining area in the front. It was loud and difficult to talk or hear each other. You could see the characters right away which the wait staff made sure your table got to see every character however, that's probably the only positive thing I could say about this place. Food was edible, not good, definitely not great. The best thing was the tater tots which you could easily get from frozen from the store. The eggs they were wet and runny, not true eggs. I asked the server if I could order an omelette which was better but the server does not mention omelettes as an option and the only cheese option is cheddar cheese. When I requested the omelette order it seemed as though our server was annoyed by the request. The dishes seemed dirty as if they were steamed sanitized and on to the next guest. My fork was extremely bent making it not fun to eat from. For paying $60 per adult there's definitely better food options. If your child is into Cinderella or the other characters then yes sure go here otherwise skip this it's a huge let down.

This was such a cute character breakfast. We truly enjoyed the food offerings as well as the interaction with the characters. If you're at Disney and don't feel like going to the theme parks this is a great alternative.

Cane here for a breakfast Character dining. It was awesome! I met Princess Tiana, Mirabel, Cinderella, and Aladdin. The food was amazing especially the ham. I asked the chef for the super crunchy skin and he made me a plate because i had to wait. So sweet! Its a small intimate dining place and its really beautiful. I love character dinings! Happy eating!

Try the Strawberry Soup!! This is a character dining spot inside of the Grand Floridian resort. Having said that, I probably don't need to tell you that it's going to be more expensive than traditional buffets on property. But, bring your autograph book and camera, because they have some wonderful characters there! The food is very good, for a Disney buffet! I wasn't kidding, the strawberry soup is by far my favorite dish. Light, flavorful, unique... it's so good! They have substantial offerings, though, if fruit soup isn't your thing! I tried the breakfast pizza, smoked salmon with fixings, and several other items. I was surprised how much I liked the pizza; I thought it was going to be more of a novelty, but I legitimately enjoyed it! The service was stellar as well. You always hope for this at any Disney experience, but it was particularly noticeable here. For the décor, it definitely fit the Victorian era bill, though perhaps a bit too restrained with the walls. The ceiling was stunning, though, and the overall vibe definitely fits the locale and the theme they were aiming for. Overall, I have nothing but high praise for this one!

Excellent dining experience from the outstanding service from cast members to the hot, tasty breakfast buffet. The strawberry soup is amazing and worth a try. Also, don't forget the POG juice (passion fruit, orange and guava juice)! Character interactions make it worth it. Nice atmosphere, you never feel rushed.

Wow! This place was definitely a treat! We wanted to find a place to use our dining plan to make the most use out of it! And this place was it! All you can eat prime rib, salmon, Tiana inspired dishes, and all of this even included either a non alcoholic beverage OR an alcoholic beverage!! We of course wanted the booze haha!! I got to try their Spicy Paloma and hubby got their French 75. What makes this place more amazing was the character interactions!! They made sure that ALL 4 make it to your table which was so nice! They all took their time to interact with our kids and had the opportunity to take photos with them as well! Service from our server was nothing short but amazing! She made sure we were happy and told us to not rush as we were approaching closing time, they won't clear out their buffet until everyone has left the restaurant which was SO nice to enjoy to it's full content! This place is located in the Grand Floridian and overall reminds me of the old architecture style from the country side but VERY clean and organized! Parking was located across the street which was weird but they offered a "shuttle/putt putt" to take you back to your parking area so you don't need to walk too far! We'll be back whenever come back to Disney World!!

Magical breakfast filled with the amazing Disney service. The food was delicious considering it was a buffet. All four characters were superb when they stopped to visit our table. I loved the decor of each wish on the wall. The Grand Floridian is a gorgeous hotel and it was fun visiting for our meal.

This was a great character breakfast experience for my family and I. My girls love the princess and the frog and they got to meet Tiana dressed in her Bayou outfit. She was so kind and engaged with them really well. We also met Mirabel, Prince Ali, and Cinderella. The food was also really good. They had many of the standard breakfast buffet options, but everything was very tasty. I think this is a great option for character dining. It's a nice mix and a variety of characters.

For character dining especially buffets, the food is usually not up to par, as characters are the main attraction. I must say the buffet food here was probably the best one at Magic Kingdom area. It's very nicely decorated with portraits of all the princesses. You take pics with Aladdin, Cinderella, Mirabelle, and Tiana. Our server was very nice and cleared our empty plates and made sure we get pics with all of the characters. Now for the food. Best prime rib! The creamiest mashed potatoes and so good. Delicious salmon, chicken curry, and sausage. Really liked the gumbo soup too. So many vloggers raved about their loaded potato salad and I must agree, it was really good! Was so full for dessert but did enjoy their chocolate lava cake. A must for character dining and also enjoying some real good food.

I booked this breakfast on a whim while trying to find good homes for my dining credits. I'd never been inside the GF before and was so excited to go! This restaurant is so lovely and cozy, also getting to walk through the doors to the restaurant felt very elite. However that's probably the whole GF vibe. I loved all the paintings of the characters who "had a wish" The buffet breakfast was great and fresh. I loved the strawberry soup and the breakfast pizza! We didn't have to wait long for the princesses to come by at all. We would absolutely return here especially as a more cost effective choice than Cinderella's table.

When I found out 1900 Park Fare was going to be back open during our stay at the Grand Floridian I had to make reservations! This restaurant has been on my list for years now and I'm so excited I was finally able to dine here. With plenty of seating, whimsical decor, amazing character interactions and a wide variety of delicious food, there is nothing not to love about his place. All the food was outstanding and it was some of the best buffet food I've had. Everything was seasoned perfectly and very enjoyable. I even went back for seconds for the salmon, garlic sausage and Tiana's Gumbo. I highly recommend trying those items! Also, all the characters did an amazing job interacting with my kids and they really enjoyed the experience. We would definitely go back!

I'm not really too sure if I like this buffet. There's only four characters that roam around that don't really make sense and I kind of miss the old theming. Tiana's jambalaya was probably my favorite of all of the offerings on the buffet line. Everything else seem to be very standard. I don't think it was worth the money .

The food was delicious! The service was really quick! The atmosphere was really fancy!

Sub par food for 79 per person. Only 4 characters and very short visits to your table. Not worth it.

We loved this restaurant for dinner! It is all you can eat and had a variety of food selections. This tea is located on the first floor of the Grand Floridian main hotel and was easy to find. We decided to try this character dinner as well as walk around the grand Floridian. They had Tiana, Cinderella, Aladdin and MIRABEL!! All of the characters were great and we were able to take cute photos. The food was amazing and we had everything from the cheese and crackers to meatballs and mashed potatoes and desserts. They also had carving stations and pizza! Everything was so so so good. All of the employees were extremely nice and very pleasant. One of my new favorite spots!

We haven't been here since pre covid for the Cinderella dinner, so it was about time to visit for the wish maker theme and for breakfast as well. What a fabulous visit. Our server, Belle, was the best server I've had in awhile. I need to go put in her cast compliment after writing this review. She was on top of everything throughout the service. Breakfast was fresh with ample options. Loved the eggs Benedict and of course the Mickey waffles. Prince Ali was the best to meet! He spoke to us about a magical garden Genie created.

A fun buffet with character meet and greets at the Grand Floridian Hotel in Disney World. We went for the dinner buffet and the menu was great. The carving station featured prime rib and roast turkey. Aladdin, Tiana, Cinderella, and Mirabel all visit the tables and pose for photos. You are given a card to write a wish on. It's a fun experience for both kids and the young at heart.

Nice and clean great fresh look after remodel. Nice to see four face characters together. It's buffet and just very pricey for what it is. Wish there was an omelet station or eggs cooked to order. We had only scrambled as a choice and paper bacon which doesn't make sense with cost of $60 pp. service was ok. She forgot water and tea twice.

Super busy dinner service and we were a few minutes late to our reservation due to transportation issues but we didn't have to wait long to be seated. With 3 Disney princesses and a prince in the house it was not a quiet meal but it was the best of the buffets we had at Disney. Located at the Grand Floridian Resort it was a great restaurant and it was a bonus to see the resort lobby and the giant gingerbread house. Highly recommend this character meal. The prime rib was excellent as were the sides and the desserts.

1900 Park Fare was shut down for a long time. It closed in March 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic and didn't come back until April 2024! There were definitely some changes. The decor was updated, as were the characters, and the menu. I love the new paintings, high on the wall. The theme is Wishes which is really cool, but it's also really strange that Asha from Wish is not here, if that is the theme. We came for dinner in May and checked out breakfast this week. At dinner in May we had Prince Ali (Aladdin), Bayou Adventure Tiana, Mirabel, and Cinderella. At breakfast this week we had all of the same except Snow White instead of Cinderella. My problem is Tiana. I love Tiana. I love the movie. I hate this outfit. My kid was like, who's that? He didn't recognize her in that outfit. Can you please put her in any of her other outfits? She has a beautiful gown, or the blue gown she is wearing when she makes the wish, or the white flapper dress she wears in the restaurant. Why does she look like a jungle skipper? This is cross promotion gone wrong. I'm also hoping with the wish theme we can bring in and/or rotate some characters because when I think of wishes I think of Asha and Pinocchio in addition to the characters that are there. Regarding the food, we really enjoyed our dinner experience. The carving station had a really nice ham. I was very happy to see the return of the famous strawberry soup this restaurant has long been famous for. The mashed potatoes were out of this world fantastic. Sadly breakfast did not hold up as well as dinner, and I feel like it is usually the opposite at Disney buffets. Thankfully, they still had the strawberry soup. Mickey waffles are always fantastic, and the fresh fruit, yogurt, and cottage cheese were great. The cheese grits were super good, so it's not like we starved. However, the biscuits were dense. The gravy was so salty it was inedible. The bacon was also terribly salty. The eggs benedict were cold and the egg was not runny. My husband literally said yuck when he bit into it. The cinnamon pull apart bread was hard on one side and the scrambled eggs were a weird texture. Finally, our service both times was lackluster. We had to flag down our server for drink refills and to take our plates. For this price the food should be better and the service should be a lot better.

Finally got to try this place and I have to say I was torn. You know what to expect when you do character dining for dinner. The food was great and I hope it continues to be as great considering they just reopened a few weeks ago. The location was very busy, the tables were very close together, there was only one buffet line and our server took a very long time with drinks and checking in on us. I will say the characters were amazing they were wonderful with children and adults alike. We enjoyed our interactions with them immensely.

My friends and I had breakfast here during Wine and Dine weekend and have now been to 3 character breakfast and I would rate this one probably the best out of Contemporary, and the Polynesian. Unfortunately I would still rate the breakfast meh at best. What was good : cheesy hash browns, the crispy bacon, and the bread pudding. What I would not get again: biscuit, sausage, and gravy. Croissant breakfast pizza. The chilled strawberry soup. The service was very good and we noticed if someone had a food allergy the chef would come out to the table to talk to them and go over what could be done. Also , they made sure that you were able to get the photos taken with all the characters. The restaurant was very clean and put together nicely. I would try their dinner since it appears people liked that better.

New theme is a tad odd for the ambiance/aesthetic of the restaurant. I do think Mary Poppins is greatly missed at this meal. The strawberry soup didn't live up to the expectations however the bread pudding was to die for. Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie and he was my first crush. Mirabel is also adorable. A random assortment of characters with tasty food. I do wish this was a family style meal and not a buffet.

My family made reservations here and were happy we did since the entire hotel that the restaurant was located in was jam packed with people. The selection of food was American style with some of my favorites being the mashed potatoes, prime rib, and chicken curry. Some of the other dishes were a little bland or watery however. The establishment is beautifully decorated with the cast members visiting every table. Overall, I had a fun experience and would like to come again.

We had reservations here for a character dinner, and we had a wonderful experience. Everything from the food, character experience, dining experience, and service was top notch. It is all you can eat, so bring your appetite! The characters were very engaging and kind with our little ones, and the food... oh my, I still think about it days later! Although they offer cocktails/extras for purchase, the food was so good it didn't need anything else! The chocolate chip cookies were so yummy! By far, our best character dining experience in Orlando.

Food - phenomenal! Service - wonderful! Lost a star for me because of the randomness of the character experience - we loved when it was just the Cinderella theme complete with the stepsisters and Prince Charming couldn't beat that!!! So sad they changed it to just a mix of random characters - why???????

This has been on my Disney bucket list for a bit. Did it live up to the hype....I'm not quite sure. Probably had it had Mary Poppins and former characters. My little guy was mostly un-enthused by the characters except for Cinderella. He had the biggest smile of the entire trip when taking a picture with her. Is it worth it? That's all relative. While everything at Disney is pricey, this is definitely on the spendy side, especially for a child....$41 plus tax and tip, coming out to $52ish....pricey even though there are characters. My son ate 2 bites of food and loaded up on gummy bears. Would I come back with a picky eater, nope, not worth it. However, I would say this is a high-quality buffet with lots of higher end options including cold shrimp, prime rib, porchetta and salmon. The salmon with the butter sauce was DELICIOUS!! I went up for more sauce for the salmon and rice (which our waitress went and got for them when she saw me walking up with my plate). I was even able to order POG juice with my dinner which I appreciated. I did try the famed "strawberry soup" which was strawberry yogurt I believe and I was taken back and off-put. I was expecting something else. Overall, service was solid and dinner was excellent. Probably a one and done for the child price and the very little he ate.

The experience was amazing , our server Belle was so great. Interactions with her and the characters did not disappoint. We saw Mirabelle, Snow White , Tiana, and Aladdin. The decide is beautiful with portraits of princesses. The food is buffet and very fresh. Get the strawberry soup and you will not be disappointed. I will return!

Character Magic, Food Meh... This was definitely a come-for-the-characters and not-the-food kind of dinner. Let's start with the positives. Every character interaction was amazing from Tiana to Mirabel and beyond. Your family and little ones will make memories that will last a lifetime. The restaurant itself was surprisingly small which led to one of our first big complaints - It's loud. I mean can't hear yourself think loud. Between the buffet, talking, characters, and more all I can say is pack your ear plugs. For the main event - The food. When we arrived the buffet seemed rather picked over in most spots and the kitchen seemed to be having trouble keeping up with the demand for food. I was a big fan of the unlimited shrimp, and also had a slice of fresh prime rib. The star of the night echoed by all at our table were the mashed potatoes. Creamy, buttery, and so delectable. For what you are paying here there are far better character meals on property. We're glad we tried it but won't be returning in the near future.

Best dinner we had at Disney. It's at the grand Floridian hotel which is only a quick ride from the monorail for anyone staying at the contemporary or Polynesian. I highly recommend making a reservation and going for so many reasons. First, the food is excellent and is such great quality so you feel good after you eat. They also have characters which the kids will love! Service is excellent. Ambiance is beautiful, light, and airy. It is expensive though. For kids it's like $41 and for adults it's like $65 each. We also went to 'ohana at the Polynesian and we do NOT recommend it. You can't pick your food at a buffet at ohana. They bring you a bunch of mediocre and dry food.

Had an amazing time today dining for breakfast! It's very small so it can get loud, but the decorations and overall theming were great. The four characters were fun and great to interact with. The staff too was wonderful, our waitress explained how the characters went around the restaurant and also at the end of our meal came by to make sure non missed our table. I'm glad we did breakfast over dinner because the food for breakfast seems better. The croissant pizza was the best and everything else too was great. Would for sure come back!

Overpriced and below average food quality. Had the prime rib and it was tough meat. My daughter got sick on the food about 2 hrs. after eating chicken soup, pasta, and some deserts. She did not touch her prime rib and mashed potatoes, and they would not let me take it back to the room at the Grand Floridian even though it was her first and only plate of food. Chef Mickey's did accommodate my child who is also special needs. I know it's a kid's character dinner, but parents let their kids run all over the place which disturbed other diners. Characters make one stop at your table for pics. We will not go there again for there are many other restaurants with great food and half the price.

I was impressed with the food quality at a character dining place. And having it at the grand Floridian was extra special. The service was very good and kid friendly. I wouldn't expect anything less from Disney. The desserts were lacking though and I know it's cheesy, but an ice cream machine would have been great. I am cheap and I know I shouldn't complain, but at a Buffett, it's unfortunate that you have to tip so much. They got us a few drinks and cleaned off our plates, not really much else. And it was weird that we had to place the tip amount before giving the credit card. Regardless, it was a fun experience and I was hoping that the characters would stay a little longer but I get that they have to entertain everyone in the restaurant.

For our last day in Orlando we made reservations at 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. This place brings a lot of nostalgia for me since it was our to go buffet when I was a child. Here you can meet characters from Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland. The buffet includes a lot of typical food salads and meats and here you can find one of the best bread pudding with warm vanilla sauce. The staff were very friendly and fast moving.

First off, have full knowledge that this is at Walt Disney World and being a destination location, things are very expensive (presently dinner runs about $200/2 adults) and that's not going to change. They do accept DVC and Annual Passholder discounts, which is about 10%. This is a buffet restaurant located inside the Disney Grand Floridian Resort. The food is slightly better than average. They do have many offerings that kids will eat, as well as adults. This is a character meal, so while dining, 3 Disney Princesses (our night it was Cinderella, Snow White and Mirabel ) and Aladdin will come around to each table. Photos are allowed. I do recommend reservations, as they fill up quickly. The cast members are extremely nice and attentive, always refreshing drinks and removing finished plates. They will treat you like royalty and they should always be treated with the greatest of respect as well. It's well decorated, with tables and chairs, as well as some bench seating. The waiting area, until taken to your table is filled with comfy sofas. With all the people talking and eating, it does get quite loud. When making a reservation at any Disney World restaurant, they will take your credit card info to hold your reservation. If you don't show up, you will be charged. This restaurant is not tightly spaced, so there's room for walkers and wheelchairs to get through safely. We had a very enjoyable meal.

Good food... super over priced for what you get. Really wish we would have just gone to the place next door again.

Service was excellent as before closure. We went here for breakfast this morning. Our $40 lunch at Starlight Ray's is so much more satisfying! The gravy had way to much salt. In the eggs benedict, the whites were runny, eww. The ham in the eggs benedict was dry and over done. The pastries were dry and hard. What was supposed to be soft was hard and what was supposed to be crunchy was mushy (Crossiant pizza). Very disappointing for the price. Would NOT recommend. The characters are kind of eh too. It was much more fun and entertaining with the step sisters and mother!!!!

My goodness. We came to 1900 Park Fare to eat dinner for the first time a couple weeks ago and I was so surprised at just how much I enjoyed myself. This is a character dinner where you get to meet Cinderella, Prince Charming, Drizella, Anastasia, and Lady Tremaine. I was excited to meet them and man, none of them disappointed. The stepsisters were hysterical, Prince Charming was so sweet, and we didn't have a single bad interaction. Our table was in the perfect spot... right in the middle of the room, which was next to Cinderella and Prince Charming as they danced. It was so sweet! Now. The food. This was the aspect that surprised me the most. I thought since it was a buffet I'd like the food but it would be nothing special. Wrong!!! The salmon (my favorite!) was cooked to perfection as was everything else I tried. But the dish I can't stop thinking about was the butternut squash ravioli. Oh. My. Word. It had some type of pecan crust on top and I just daydream about it!!! It was so good. They also had a kid's section of the buffet that was at their eye-level and I loved that the children could serve themselves. Oh! And the strawberry soup! Definitely worth the hype!!! Everything at the restaurant was neat and tidy. I really also enjoyed getting to check out the Grand Floridian Resort (as the restaurant is located just inside). If you're in the area and considering stopping here for dinner, please do. I can not recommend it enough!

LOVE the new breakfast. Honestly my new favorite breakfast spot on disney property and I don't usually love character dining ... but these characters were SO sweet and interactive in a fun way. They have such great personalities. Food was amazing. Cheese grits are the best around, and the potato and pepper hash with a sweet hot sauce? SO GOOD. Strawberry soup was great as always but loved Tiana's bread pudding the most. A lot of cinnamon and vanilla. My kids loved it and appreciated the "kids"-size stations where they can get their own plate. POG juice is always a great add, too!

A great all you can eat place. We've visited 2 times this place at the breakfast. While it's not the cheapest on property, it's one of the best. The buffet have many different dished, some I didn't saw at other buffet. Everything is tasty and versatile. There's also 5 different character to meet, Tiger, Winnie, Mary Poppins, madhatter and Alice. They are every funny, will stay with you and come at your table. Don't be affraid to miss one of them by going to the buffet, if that happen, either just ask a cast member to see the one you missed or a cast member will ask you if you saw everyone. It's on par with the price of other buffet around Disney. For the food, the menu can change but you have the normal cereal, biscuit, pancake, waffle, eggs, bacon, sausage, but also a DIY egg wrap with many choice of filling, salmon, etc. For the current menu, visit Disney website.

I didn't even know that adults could do Character dinners without kids the first time I went to 1900 Park Fare. Since then I have visited most of the character dining at Disney. I have fond memories from our visit to 1900 Park Fare, but nothing to make me super eager to rush back. The decor of the restaurant isn't anything to "ooh and ahh" over. It is definitely a kid friendly buffet setting, and man it was loud in there! When we were seated we were greeted by the chef to take care of the people in our group with allergies. Then the rest of us set off to the buffet. We attended during the dinner buffet. There was a good selection of food. My favorite was the beef with chimichurri sauce. I also liked the butternut squash ravioli. Character dinners are a time consuming experience waiting for each character to make it to your table. This is a wonderful thing, because they actually take the time to interact with you instead of just a pose and move on. You also need to time your trips to the buffet accordingly so that there isn't an empty table when the character reaches your table. There is something so special about watching a little girl in a Cinderella dress meet Prince Charming. Every 15 minutes or so one of the characters would be formally "announced" to the room and sometimes they would do a quick dance. The characters all did a great job staying spread out so there was always someone near by. The whole experience was about an hour and a half to two hours long. It was a very fun experience, but definitely something that can be a one and done and not a Disney tradition for me. If you (or your kid) are a die-hard Cindy fan you may have a different perspective. The food was good, but nothing worth fantasizing about after you leave.

1900 Park Fare is located on the ground floor of the Grand Floridian and serves as a character buffet for Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter as well as Mary Poppins. The breakfast food here is pretty standard as far as WDW buffets go - eggs, waffles, pancakes, pastries, bacon, sausages etc. They do however, have an omelette station which is made to order as well as red velvet pancakes which is something some other buffets don't have. The servers here are friendly and prompt. Characters pop in and take photos and since the restaurant isn't that large, getting those snapshots is pretty painless. Value - Dining plan (1 meal - good food and fun characters albeit not the most popular), Cash - definitely better food than other buffets so a definite yes.

Unless you are under age 12, and Mom and Dad are paying for it, avoid this place. A rather unhealthy brunch (think sugar-coated Mickey-shaped waffles and other similar options) that winds up being $50 a head with no posted menu or pricing at the entrance is what awaits you. The room is windowless and charmless. It filled with primarily the heavier of Disney patrons gorging on the sugar waffles, etc., accompanied by kids that seem to run screaming freely throughout the place. The premium price may have to do with the Disney-dressed character actors roaming around and chatting up everyone. It was fun the first couple of times and we snapped pics with Mary Poppins and the Mad Hatter, both of them funny in character. BUT then it became obvious with the third character that some of them have in their scripted lines "don't leave until they take a picture with me" The food would have been $10 per person at an IHOP, and that means 2 character pics below cost about $40 per person. This pricing, like many other things at Disney these days, fells calibrated to separate parents from their cash in outrageous ways to appease screaming kids. The waitress was very nice and we tipped accordingly, but we had to shoo off the continuous character parade just to be able eat. We should have robbed one or two of the more aggressive characters for $40 each, but we didn't LOL

Poor service, unprofessional staff and mangers, disgusting customer service, go elsewhere. staying at the resort, made reservations months in advance, arrived and checked-in both on the app and in-person with staff, waited over half an hour, observing numerous parties of two and more be seated Only to be told that they had no seating for two for me and my child. managers And Disney customer service were of no help.

We had breakfast there for the first time today. We LOVED it! The seating was nice. The tables and chairs aren't too close to the others as they are in some restaurants. The food: Huge selection. Everything we tried was delicious. Strawberry soup sounds strange but, is sooooo good. The service: All of the Cast Members were very helpful and extremely friendly. The characters: Great! We loved every interaction and took lots of pictures. *But, remember, the characters have to visit & take time with all guests so be patient & try to be understanding about their limited time.
