1900 Park Fare Dinner Buffet & Character Dining

[sretav]

Anyone with any details/reviews of the 1900 Park Fare character dinner?

We're already doing Akershus for the Princesses, Ohana for the breakfast and Lilo & Stitch, Tusker House for Mickey & Friends and Crytsal Palace for Pooh & Friends so we thought meeting Cinderella, Price Charming, Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters would be a nice finale to our 14 days at WDW (6 in the Parks) and it will give us a chance to see the Grand Floridian to boot.

Are you pretty much guaranteed to meet Cinderella, Prince Charming AND Lady Tremaine AND the stepsisters even though they always state "subject to change" in the meal description?

CiNdy and the prince are almost always there, but no guarantee for the others. Sometimes it is LT, or one of the stepsisters. The Fairy Godmother and the mice are also possible.

Typing from mobile yesterday.

The long and short of it is that even though it's Cinderella's Happily Ever After dinner, even Cinderella and the Prince aren't guaranteed, although it is extraordinarily rare for Cinderella not to be there. The other characters do rotate, and it is very common for Lady Tremaine or the step-sisters NOT to be there. 4-5 characters is typical, but given that Cinderella + Prince are usually two, it can be a mix of Anastasia, Drizella, Lady Tremaine, Fairy Godmother and the two mice. I think the two mice are the emergency plan, because furry characters are more interchangeably staffed than face characters.

We went last February 21st for my daughters birthday dinner and we saw Cinderella, charming, lady Tremaine, and both step sisters. They all stop by each table individually and I got great pics with my daughter and each of them. The interaction with LT and the stepsisters beats Cinderella and charming by a mile! They were hilarious! We all said that's the job we would want!

The food was good. Elevated buffet fare. There's a chance for a family photo beforehand and that was appreciated. We enjoyed it a lot.

I like 1900 PF a lot, but would never send anyone there if the only reason is to meet a specific character. Odds are pretty good you will meet the headliners, but there is always a chance you will not, and if that is a deal breaker, best to skip it.

The food is good, always fresh and hot, or cold, depending on what you choose. The service has been very good, and the place is fun.

All good to know. I think the potential to meet any of the Cinderella characters, whatever the combination, will make it worth while. While Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters would be preferred, I wouldn't be complaining if the Fairy Godmother showed up instead (or even the mice).

Boy, I hope we get Lady Tremaine. Last time, 3 years ago, she was the highlight. Given she's no longer at MK, I was sort of counting on finding her there. FG would be a real bonus too.

You will usually find the stepsisters AND Lady Tremaine there, as well as Cinderella/Prince. Its actually rare that LT & Step sis aren't there. Everytime we've been (friends/family on separate occasions) they've always been there.

We have a reservation at 1900PF next week and we're really hoping Lady Tremaine and Step Sisters are there. They were the highlight of our trip last year. Definitely the best character interaction we had. I wouldn't be disappointed meeting Fairy Godmother either as we've never met her.

We were just there at the end of January. We thought the food was amazing! honestly we didnt have high hopes but we were really shocked and happy with the choices, freshness, and temperature of everything. I will say we weren't there for the characters because my 2 year old had no idea who anyone was but it was fine. Prince Charming is always a bit awkward just cause what can you really say to him?? haha but if you have a little princess I'm sure she will love it.
It is great to explore GF and then jump on the monorail a be @ MK in a second. great dinner choice for a MK day.

This should be said for every character meal on property. Folks tend to get used to certain characters showing up and odds are the ones you expect will be there. But none are ever guaranteed that I know of.

Absolutely.

We have done both breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed dinner much better.
The step sisters steal the show!!!
