Thoughts on 1900 Park Fare

[USCAnna]

My DH and I are not huge fans of buffets. We've tried a few, but prefer the traditional style restaurants. That being said, we are looking at changing our ADR from CRT to 1900 Park Fare for dinner so we can experience Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters. We've eaten at CRT and really enjoyed it, and the convenience is certainly a plus. But dinner at 1900 Park Fare seems like such a unique experience...thoughts on the food? The experience?

The experience is great. Cinderella is just like she is everywhere. There is nothing better or worse about her there. The step-family is never disappointing. They are funny and have been on point every time.

The food is kind if average. There are a ton of choices so you are covered and the kid's area is always an option because I can eat pizza, chicken planks, pasta, Mac n cheese, etc. anytime. The salad bar is good too.

We were on the fence this trip but added it.

We ate there in 09 and 12 and there are pics from my trip report when it was fresh in my mind.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much. This is very helpful!

We haven't eaten at CRT yet, so I can't compare the two, but we had a wonderful experience at Park Fare two years ago. The characters were great, my daughter loved seeing the step-sisters (who were perfectly in character!) and she even got to dance with Prince Charming at the end. It was truly amazing!

The food was good, not anything spectacular though.

We've done both, and liked them both just for different reasons. I would say the experience of dining inside the castle was amazing. We got one of the tables by the window, so we could see the carousel going around, and not to be cliche, but it was magical. Our party was two adults, and they gave us each a Wishing Star and Magic Wand that I really like having as souvenirs. For us the interaction was better with the princesses in the castle than it was with Cinderella's family at 1900. We were one of the last parties seated at 1900, so that might have had something to do with it. Food-wise we preferred 1900. We liked that there were so many more choices, the food was good, and it was all you can eat. More bang for our buck, so to speak. Location was also a factor for us, so it might be for you? If in the park, I'd definitely go with CRT to lose as little park time as possible. We did 1900 on a non park day, so we could spread out the Disney magic without using one of our WDW tickets. Have fun deciding!

We had a great time and thought the character interaction was great as the step sisters were hilarious, but we didn't like the food. With that said, if you've never been, I think it's worth going at least once to see the step sisters (just my opinion).

We did the breakfast buffet and it was good. Omlet station was the best part. There were a few characters that we would not have met otherwise. We have young kids 4, 5 and 7 so the character experience is worth it.

We have done the breakfast and dinner and agree that the food was just ok. The characters at the dinner are THE BEST.
