July 2024 short dining reviews

[ThatDisneyGal]

My family of 5 just had a wonderful visit to Grand Floridian ( mom, dad, son 11 and 5 yo twins). This is our reviews of where we dined!

1900 Park Fare - I was really looking forward to this and had never been. Although my daughter loved the princess interactions, I found it to be way too loud, chaotic, and crowded (and this is from someone who usually loves character dining as seen with the Crystal Palace review). I am used to loud in Disney restaurants but the volume was just way too much for me. I will not be returning for that reason and there was nothing on the buffet that would bring me back either, although my husband did like the made to order omelttes

Round- Up Rodeo - Out second time here and it was even better than before! We loved it! Although my hubs is from Kansas City so he wasn’t all that impressed, but the rest of us loved it and I especially noticed that the brisket had much improved since last year! Still love the potato barrels, Mac and cheese and biscuits. My husband missed the pickles but we had great service, it was so much fun and the AC was pumping! We will definitely return!

Narcoosee’s -Out first visit absolutely amazing! The filet is delicious! They had chicken tenders and fries for my kids and they were so welcoming and great to my family with young children! The setting is beautiful and we can’t wait to return!!! Bread service was also a plus!!!

The Crystal Palace- We had such a great time with the 100 Acre wood characters and the breakfast was absolutely delicious! The churro waffles were amazing. I wasn’t expecting much as we’d been there before for dinner pre-COVID but WOW this place has improved immensely!! We had a 10:30 adr so we also got to taste their lunch buffet and it was also wonderful!

Citricos- another first visit that definitely won’t be the last! Great with kids and such friendly service! Filets were delicious and we actually liked their bread service better than narcoosees! But they are both equally delicious with great service!!!

Good to hear fries are available at Narcoosees. I am taking a very fussy teenager next year, who loves filet mignon but none of the accompaniments on offer. He likes a very simple dish (and food separated on the plate!)

Thanks for taking the time to review- we have been considering Crystal Palace, glad to hear it has improved!

What was your experience with the time it took to be seated and get through the meal? We went last June as a party of 3 and it took up nearly three hours of our day - we were seated 20 minutes past our ADR time (despite checking in 15-20 minutes early), and then the meal itself took over two hours. We enjoyed the food and theming/atmosphere, but boy, what a time-eater. We’re returning next week as a party of 8 with family who haven’t been yet and I’m wondering whether it’s gotten any more efficient or if I need to be prepared for another lengthy experience (especially given our larger party size).

We were in and out within an hour for our party of 5. We found it to be very timely! Sorry to hear about your 3 hour experience last year. That’s so frustrating! We also went last July but we were in and out within an hour too so I don’t know if we just get really good luck there both times but I hope you have a great time!

That’s great to hear. Thank you!
