1900 Park Fare

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite character dining experiences, 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian resort. We have found the food to be great and the character interaction is in my opinion the best on property!


This dining area has whimsical touches that enhance the character meal experience."Big Bertha", a turn of the century organ, takes center stage. Built in France, this beautifully crafted instrument plays while you're dining.


We have eaten both breakfast and dinner here and would recommend both. The breakfast is buffet and has a good variety for all tastes. The characters at breakfast are the most unusual combination! Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter are the main characters, but you may also see other characters you might not expect! When we ate there we also saw Belle, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. Most character meals have a character group that is common, but this meal is good for those that like surprises!

I enjoy this meal with Cinderella more than even Cinderella’s Table in the Castle and here is why: the character interaction is incredible! Not only will you have the opportunity to dance with Cinderella, but also Prince Charming is there for the boys to get princely tips. He taught my son how to stand with his sword and look knightly. My son, dressed as a knight, danced with Cinderella and my daughter, dressed as Cinderella, danced with Prince Charming – what great pictures! The other part of the meal that is really fun is Cinderella’s step family!

Lady Tremain, Drizella and Anastasia are so much fun to watch!

Lady Tremain adds the Disney Villain touch to the meal and Drizella and Anastasia are really funny! My son got engaged to Drizella – she asked him as soon as she saw he was dressed like a prince! Once he accepted she yelled across the room to her mother to announce her ‘catch.’ It was really a lot of fun! Both my kids left with big lip prints on their cheeks from the step sisters giving them kisses.








If you are on the dining plan, 1900 Park Fare is one table service credit.
