Unexpected magic at 1900 Park Fare

[doconeill]

This is one of those things that make you forget all about how much it costs...

For the first time we decided to book a meal for our kids at 1900 Park Fare. Usually we've done something like CRT, CP, or CM, but we heard good things about it.

We had a 4:30 ADR, which apparently is opening time. We checked in early, second in line, right behind a rather large group, waited for the picture, and then simply waited for opening.

On of the CMs, Julianna, who I believe was a manager, approached both of our DDs and started chatting with them, and then asked if they'd like to open the doors to begin dinner. So when it was time she took them, gathered everyone around and announced the opening of 1900 Park Fare with the "Princesses from the Kingdom of Massachusetts". Then everyone said "Bippity Boppity Boo", and my girls opened the doors, to see Cinderella and Prince Charming walking up and greeting them, and taking them by the hands to our table. We were then seated, right near the kitchen door, which I thought wouldn't be all that great, but the server said that it would be the "best seats in the house". That's because that is where each character would make their grand entrance, and after a brief walk to the middle of the room, would come back to our table first!

The food was also good, although the choices seemed limited compared to other buffets, and one of the chocolate ice cream dispensers obviously wasn't cold enough, but the experience was priceless...

Good to know...I want to go there on our first night when we go in Sept. I can't wait to see my little girl's face when she sees the people from her favorite movie right in front of her (she'll be two by then). Sounds like you all had a great time!

We love to eat there. It's just such a beautiful resort in the first place and then to eat dinner as Cinderella & the Prince walk by, it's just magical. And I'm 40!

We had a totally magical park fare experience as well. It was our first character meal the first day of our first ever trip. I made DD5 the pink dress from the Cinderella to wear to dinner. She really got a kick out of all the Cm's calling her princess, and commenting on the dress. Of course it got a rise out of the stepmother and stepsosters who told her that she looked much better in it than a certian someone they knew. She was totally in awe of prince charming, and he was sooo sweet to her. The pic of him kissing her hand is priceless. The biggest hit of the night was when Cindy told her "When the music starts, stand right here" and showed her a sopt by our table to stand. We had no idea what was going on, but when the played the waltz, Cinderella came and got her for a dance. The look on her face alone was worth the cost of the whole trip!
