Princess buffet at Grand Floridian

[Gomez Gang]

I have heard that there is a somewhat new buffet offered at the Grand Floridian. I believe it is for a dinner and that it has various princesses in attendance. Has anyone been there? Can you elaborate? Price? Food quality? Menu items? How does it compare to Chef Mickey's?
We have celebrated our 2 oldest kids 5th b-days at chef mickey's with great success--we loved everything about it--but this November my youngest daughter will be 5 and she wants to eat dinner with princesses. Yes, I am planning far ahead but planning is half the fun of a Disney Vacation!
Any feedback will help!

We just did the dinner Thursday night. It is at 1900 Park Fare. It is Cinderella and friends. We had Cinderella, Prince Charming, Suzy and Perla (the mice) and the Fairy Godmother. I think the characters can vary slightly (sometimes you get the stepsisters). The cost was $24 per adult I think - children were less I want to say around $16- huge buffet including salads, prime rib, pasta station, kids station, asian food section, lots of other stuff. Very good meal - I would definately recommend.

Thanks too for the info. I hope to take my princess next November. I can't wait to see her little face.

Cinderella is the only character guaranteed to appear, according to the best information I have, "Cinderella will always appear. Other characters are subject to change" and "No other princesses attend."
A wide variety of food, no park admission required, and certainly easier to get than CRT breakfast, though.

The buffet is not a Princess dinner, but insteed features characters from Cinderella. Cinderella, Prince Charming, Suzy, Perla, and the Fairy Godmother are the most common characters who attend, but characters do varry on pretty much a daily basis. Cinderella is always there though and Suzy and Perla I believe are also always there. I have heard that you may see another Princess at the dinner on a rare occasion as well, but usually Cinderella is the only Princess there.

Just sharing our experience that they food was great and the characters were Cinderella, Prince Charming, Suzy and Perla who wandered the dining room. Fairy Godmother was just outside the dinig area in a very accessible place.
