I JUST TRIED TO MAKE P.S ARRANGEMENTS FOR APRIL 20TH (EASTER) AT 1900 PARK FARE & COULD NOT GET A TIME? HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS? ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ANOTHER RESTAURANT?
I just got off the phone and it's NOT TRUE that they're discontinuing the character breakfast at 1900 Park Faire! I spoke with member services at DVC and also with WDW-DINE and both said that the 1900 character breakfast is still on! So far, it's only H & V that's discontinued.
I made many of my PS's for Easter time around Christmas at or very near the 120 day mark. I was surprised at how many times were not available even at that early a date. They may very well be booked up--try back now and again, it appears as many people are changing their plans so they may drop their PS's as well.
We (8 of us) will be eating at 1900 Park Fare for Easter dinner at 8:10 pm. We just made the reservations a couple of weeks ago. We tried to book some of the restaurants that have actual Easter specials, like Chef Mickey's or Olivia's. Keep trying, hopefully there will be a cancellation. You might want to book somewhere at this point, and then check for any openings as you get closer to your trip. Good luck!
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR ADVICE. WE DID GET P.S AT THE WHISPERING CANYON CAFE FOR 6:20PM BUT I AM GOING TO KEEP CALLING BACK TO SEE IF WE CAN GET IN. I TRIED 1900 PARK FARE, CHEF MICKEY'S , CRYSTAL PALACE, LIBERTY TREE, CAPE MAY, OLIVIA'S & THE CALIFORNIA GRILL BUT EVERYTHING WAS BOOKED. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR A PLACE TO EAT FOR EASTER.
I called this morning and was told that the 1900 Park Fare breakfast was being suspended until further notice beginning March 23rd. The person I spoke to even verified it with his supervisor. He also said that the Dinner buffet will remain intact.
I CALLED AGAIN YESTERDAY TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY CANCELLATIONS FOR EASTER DINNER & WAS TOLD THAT THE DINNER BUFFET WAS NO LONGER OPEN ...HAS ANYBODY ELSE BEEN TOLD THIS? HE TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO LOW ATTENDANCE & THAT A LOT OF RESTAURANTS IN THE PARK WERE CLOSING DOWN UNTIL THINGS IMPROVED.
