I'm afraid I also have to add another negative review for 1900 Park Fair. I almost cancelled after reading some of the reviews but decided to give it a try, as I'm pretty open-minded and laid back when it comes to dining options. I also thought it would be a great start to our vacation and was looking forward to enjoying the ambience of the GF. BIG MISTAKE! It was a miserable experience and the food was terrible.
First the ambience was really disappointing. I thought the restaurant looked like a glorified cafeteria and the acoustics were deafening. Even my nieces (age 7 and 12) were overwhelmed by the noise and chaos.
The food was an even bigger disappoinment. I understand it's just a buffet, but for the money spent it was ridiculously bad. The prime rib was so rare, I (and several other guests) asked them to put it on the skillet and cook it longer. When the chef put it on my plate... blood still ran all over my other food, to the point where I had to get a new plate. The other food options were limited and not very appetizing... although the strawberry soup was good.
The characters ,especially the Stepsisters, were entertaining but not worth sitting through a terrible, overpriced meal. (We also were able to see the Stepsisters often in the Magic Kingdom.)
I feel bad complaining, but I feel others should know what to expect... and of course, everyone's opinion differs. But for our entire family, it was such a bad experience, we ended up cancelling our lunch at Princess Storytellers in Norway. We did however enjoy the Ohana's character breakfast on our last morning.
