1900 Park Fare - Looking for Reviews

[Chip126]

I am looking for all of your reviews on the dinner at 1900 Park Fare. I might be trying this character dinner in December. I have never been there before and I will be with a party of 7.

So, to all the Diser's out there..........please let me know your reviews.........good or bad? Also, is Prince Charming ALWAYS at the dinner? We will be doing CRT the same morning, but I know Prince Charming is not always there. My 4 year old niece just can't wait to "dance with Prince Charming"!

Thanks in advance!

I really enjoy 1900 Park Fare. Everyone that we have ever taken there always wants to make sure they go back on their next trip. The Strawberry Soup is WONDERFUL. Prince Charming was there for each of out visits, since the Princess Dinner started. (2) visits.

The only negative thing I find about the restaurant is the Calyope (sp?) It can be very noisey, when it plays, if you are in the main dining room. The last 2 visits we were in the back dining room and it was not bad at all.

If you have a little girl with you its great. For adults, unless you are really into the characters it may be a let down. In January Prince Charming and Cindy were outside for pictures, the girl mice and Fairy Godmother were inside. Our DD loved it, we dressed her up in a long dress and Cinderella gave her advise on how to hold her skirt out like a princess. Food was good for a character buffet. The noise and excitement level is very high. The other children were wonderful to watch.

We're planning on going in Dec. and want to schedule a dinner at 1900 Park Fare, both for the dining experience and to see all the decorations at the GF. I have a 6-year old dd and six-year old ds. Do children typically dress up for these dinners? My daughter had a Cinderella costume she'd love to wear, however, I wonder about the logistics of wearing the dress since we're coming from DTD. Should she wear it over there, or maybe bring it and change into it there? Or, she might want to wear her new Christmas dress. My ds isn't interested in dress-up. How comfortable would we all feel in resort casual, or should we all plan to dress up some?

We LOVED the dinner.

The character interaction was wonderful, we did have Prince Charming. He was so sweet.
The food was a buffet & everyone found something to eat & everyone managed to eat themselves silly.
I agree the "strawberry soup" is wonderful.

We do plan on doing this character meal again.

Btw--we just came from Magic before going to dinner. So we were just in our park attire, no dressing up here. I did see some little girls in Cinderella or other Princess dresses though

We ate there on July 4th and was pleased that Cinderella, Prince Charming and the mice were doing the rounds in the restaurant. We were worried when we only saw Fariy Godmother and Goofy in the lobby! Based on the reviews of other character meals, I didn't expect much from the buffet, but was pleasantly surprised. It was much better than I expected. It was a noisy and the service was a little slow, but they were absolutely packed. They were turning away everyone that did not have a PS and with a PS, it was a 30 minute wait.

We just did this buffet last Friday and thought it was above average, but not fantastic. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and thought the character interaction was very good. The prince was the best we've had. The food selection was just average. I did think the redskin and sweet potato smash was very good. If this was your only chance to see Cinderella I think it's a fine choice, but as for other character meals we liked Chef Mickey's better. Have fun whatever you decide.
