Late Buffet Ressie - How's the Food?

[DiggleBelle]

We have one of the last ressies of the night at 1900 Park Fare. We are concerned that the food won't be replenished or as fresh as early in the evening. Also will the characters continue until they have been to all tables?
Can anyone share their experiences or let us know we are just looking for things to worry about.

We haven't had a late dinner ADR at 1900PF, but we had one of the last breakfast ADR's (around 11:20). We were one of the last 5 or so tables to leave and they were basically still bringing food out when we got up. Everything tasted as fresh as a buffet normally tastes, so don't worry about that.

The characters will see every table, so you will see everyone, no matter your ADR time. We got some extra time with some of the characters. Alice and the MadHatter were very playful with the tables that were left (we were all in the same basic area) as well as with eachother. It was very entertaining.

Thanks for the reply We will stop worrying about that. Now on to worrying about the snow storm that is coming right when we are supposed to leave!

We did a late dinner at Park Fare in mid October. They did keep the buffet stocked up and we saw all the characters, some a couple times. The character handler stopped by our table to make sure that we had gotten time with all of the characters before they retired for the night. We really enjoyed having dinner late because it wasn't very crowded (maybe 10 tables of diners) and the characters were able to spend quite a bit of time with us. Cinderella had a whole conversation with my toddler daughter and I thought she was going to pass out from the sheer excitement of it!

we did an 8:30pm or maybe 8pm ADR and the food was hot and plenty. The caracters interaction was good and hilarious for some of them and the caracter cm came over to make sure we had seen all the caracters when we were ready to leave. we saw some caracters twice and the Prince charming was sooo nice. My daughters were shy of him and he kissed their hands and danced with one of them.

Our family has eaten late at 1900 Park Fare and have found the buffet to be absolutely fine. It actually is easier at a later seating to get near the buffet and to be able to look around and not just choose the first item you see. As a handicapped person later always works better as I don't have to fight the crowds.

We tend to eat very late and have literally "closed down" both 1900 and Cape May more than once. The food was always fresh, and the server or chef asked us what we wanted more of so they could make sure it was there.

Character interaction at 1900 dinners is great, and when you get toward the end with fewer patrons, it gets even better.

You will have a great time!
