Wow 1900 Park Fare sounds like an amazing choice
Great pics you were able to get of everyone with the characters

What an outstanding evening, despite it being relegated to "buffet status". I guess the interaction and "charm factor" made up for it. I"ve never heard a bad review of the place, which makes me sorta want to give it a try.
I can see how you could say it was an outdated flowery cafeteria, though, any place with THAT much use, could get worn in a hurry.
Your sunset pix were really great! Couldn't have asked for a lovelier evening!
Great review! I can't wait to go there in a few weeks....I think it's going to be a hoot!
What a fun evening. I can't get over the gorgeous sunset pictures you got. Those are amazing. I am not a buffet fan either but your dinner sounds fantastic. And sounds like those handlers are really on top of things!
Hope you catch the show AND that it stays dry!!
Sounds like you had a wonderful evening. Great pictures, too!
Great sunset pics. Really pretty. We ate there in Dec and your review is much more favorable. There was no dancing and I had 2 very beautiful princess-one even a mini Cindy. They seemed rushed-it was Dec. The buffet was ok and I totally agree with you on the decor.

Cynthia, I'm glad you enjoyed your night at Park Fare! We just wanted our little princess, DN, to meet Cindy, but it turned out we all enjoyed our Park Fare very much, and would do it again with another little princess.
ITA about the decor, but it goes with the period decor, I think. I think too many of "those" chain buffets used that type of decor in the 80's and 90's so it makes us think of those
First - beautiful sunset pictures!!
Second - I agree with your review of 1900 PF. The food is pretty good IMO (nothing too exciting), but the character interaction makes it top notch! We had great interaction with the stepmother and sisters. So much fun!
I'm glad your family enjoyed it!
Really would love to do Park Fare, but only because of the stepsisters. I do not like buffet food.
I have been on the fence about dinner here, and I am glad to hear your opinion of it... I think next time dinner will be on the schedule. Your boys and those sisters, TOO funny! I love seeing all the princesses and the little girls when I am at WDW. It is so neat to see their adoration of those characters! My guys really liked the "face" characters too -- the interaction was so much more fun for them! Hope you see the show!
I have been thinking about this character meal for quite some time now and one thing that allways put me off was that I thought that the room looked like cheap decor.... Good to know that someone who saw it in person confirms my suspicions... With the way the prices for Disney buffets are going, I don't see myself eating at them in the future, though... Just as you, I am not a buffet person. I really prefer my meal to be plated, it looks prettier.
I've got to meet those stepsisters someday, they look like a hoot.
My kids aren't really into the characters anymore, but I think they might like this one. Like you say, they're "real" not "fur", and seem like a lot of fun.
Nifty update Cynthia!
It had me cracking up a couple of times.
What a fun night!
Your sunset pictures are just beautiful! My favorite one is Space Mountain with that huge orange sun right behind it!
Cinderella dancing with the princesses sounds so sweet! I miss Chelsea being a little girl!
I got a huge kick out of all the pictures with the stepmother and the stepsisters. They look like they were a scream to be around!
Fun update! Glad you really enjoyed the character interaction. I have not eaten there yet but I would really like to try breakfast. I agree with you, the restaurant needs an update in appearance. Funny how things age and what was probably so cute not too long ago looks like a cafeteria now.
Great pictures of the kids, especially Kendall and the prince. Great fun!
as of today we officially have plans!Sooooo excited for your trip to Germany!!! I hope you are able to meet up with Magdalene!! I know I am repeating myself from my email today....that is what happens when you get so behind on the Dis
I like Starring Rolls but I do not like the line there! The Commissary scared me to but hey, when you are soggy and starving you...punt. And are grateful it's edible! And ecstatic when it exceeds that expectation.I have never eaten at the Commissary either....it kind of always scared me honestly Usually for any CS at HS I head over to Starring Rolls...mmm mmm mmm!!
Beautiful sunset pictures...what a pretty night and then a fun dinner!! The stepsisters crack me up....they are so in character. My oldest niece and I met up with them last year and Anastasia was making funny comments to my ginger niece...she is more strawberry blondish than red but they had a fun dialog going back and forth!
Are you packed yet? LOL!!! Just kidding!!!

Hey Cynthia...I am FINALLY all caught up!
Glad to hear everyone enjoyed Raglan Road. We love it too. The food is fantastically surprising. We tried it for the 1st time in 2007 and were expecting glorified pub food. How wrong were we??? I agree with you completely...it can compete for some of the best meals in WDW.
Loved the review of TL. We have yet to do a waterpark, but hope to do so on the next family trip.
Too bad you were rained out at HS and at the pool. But sounded like a heavenly way to pass the time out there relaxing on the balcony with book and beveridges.
Glad your crew enjoyed themselves at PF. I would not have seen that one coming!
Looking forward to more!
The water looked beautiful on your trip over. How relaxing! I'll stay at WL for the boat alone.
Hmmm. 1900 Park Fare. We went for our first time this trip. Definitely agree with you on the ambience factor - it was lacking. In fact, the whole set up was weird, don't you think? The waiting area and the entry were just, not working for me. It seemed like they took an old banquet room and dressed it up a bit so they could fit another restaurant in. However, I did think the food was pretty good. Especially the Coq au Vin and the strawberry soup. I think we were just buffet-ed out by that point. Amazing character interaction, though! Love the pic with Taylor.
What a fun dinner - and what a gorgeous sunset! Hope the rest of the evening turns out as nice as e beginning was!
1900 PF looks like so much fun!! I can't wait to check it out with the Spectrum Moms in just a few weeks!
