1900 Park Fare before MNSSHP...Good or Bad Idea???

[DisneyInDel]

I was just wanting to get some input on my reservations for my wife and I. This is the first time we've done WDW without the kids..and boy are they ticked!! (kidding, of course) This is for my 50th and we thought after 27 years and three adult daughters we were overdue for a second honeymoon.

O.K...we have..

9/16....Coral Reef
9/17...Mama Melrose (for Fantasmic)
9/18...O'Hana
9/19...Wolfgang Puck
9/20...Le Cellier
9/21..1900 Park Fare (before MNSSHP)

Did I do O.K.?

It is a really bad idea cause it is closed then. They are refurbishing it. The only reason I know this is because I tried to book it for our trip too.

Good luck with somewhere else.

O.K..I just called and the 1900 Park Fare character dinner will be held at the Grand Floridian Cafe instead..same dinner, different restaraunt..

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

DisneyInDel, I was offered the same thing but WAS told it was a different meal as it is not a buffet at the Cafe, which is a much smaller venue, (I think). They might have the same characters though if that is what is important to you.

Good luck, SG

It's a pre plated meal, with I think a choice of a few different items. Thats a shame too because the buffet is really good. Mmmm, strawberry soup!

Yes, it's preplated. Appetizer was a choice of salad or soup, there were maybe five or six entree choices, and dessert is a shared plate of mini desserts.

I don't see a problem with it before MNSSHP since it's only a short monorail ride from MK. However, I don't know that I'd want to choose a character dinner that night if the kids weren't with us, at least not a princess one. That's just personal preference though. I'd go with Kona Cafe or Concourse Steakhouse, or even the Plaza inside MK.

We have done a resort dinner before MNSSHP ('Ohana) and last year lucked up and were able to be seated at LTT after a 20 minute wait with no ADR (we had ADR for Concourse, which we love, but we went on to the party at 4PM). I think that with 1900 not being the buffet it's going to be a madhouse, noisy and maybe even a little cramped. As a PP stated, without kids you might be happier at a non character meal.

I cant thank you guys enough! The buffet was the reason we were going, so now we changed our plan...decided to do a CS meal the night of the MNSSHP and upgraded our Fantasmic dinner from Mama Melrose to the Brown Derby...Thanks again!
