1900 Park Fare

1900 Park Fare, historically one of our FAVORITE character meals was one of the last to reopen after the 2020 pandemic (still waiting on you, Bon Voyage Breakfast!), and once it did, it was quite a bit different. Now focusing on the power of wishes, 1900 features a new host of characters whose wishes were realized instead of the UK-centered breakfast crew and the Cinderella cast at dinner. I’ll leave the legacy info below because I just adored previous 1900, but for the most updated info, check out the beginning of the post.

Although the dining room has undergone a refresh, the overall feel is very similar to pre-COVID shutdown. Once you’re inside, the restaurant itself seems very understated. Muted colors, calming, simple decor. Brass touches around the restaurant add a little shine. 1900 Park Fare is also home to Big Bertha, a gorgeous organ on the wall above the main dining room.

Also, be on the lookout if you’re seated on the wall.  There are several outlets in this restaurant, and you could easily fuel your cell while fuel yourself.

The Food

Despite the varied reviews, we’ve found the food here to be consistently enjoyable. The menu changes with the seasons and the chefs, but it has remained one of our favorite character dining spots not just because of the fun atmosphere, but because the food actually delivers too.

The buffet may look a little smaller than some other options around property, but don’t let that fool you. There’s still a nice variety of choices and plenty of dishes that are both familiar and delicious.

I’ll admit, though, my absolutely unreasonable love for the signature strawberry soup (available at both breakfast and dinner) may be influencing my overall rating just a tiny bit. But honestly? I stand by it. 🍓

We were major fans of the previous dinner at 1900 Park Fare, so we’ll admit we approached the new experience with a little hesitation. While it’s definitely a different vibe now, we’ve found that there’s still a lot to enjoy. The light, airy setting, the playful character interactions and the consistently good food keep it on our list of character meals we’re happy to revisit.

If you loved the original 1900 Park Fare, you may miss some of the old details. But if you’re walking in for the first time, we think it’s a fun, relaxed character meal that brings something a little different to the Disney dining lineup. And there’s still strawberry soup!

PhotoPass

After checking in, you’ll primp here for your big PhotoPass photo shoot.  Sometimes literally.  If it’s somewhat slow, they’ll take two dozen pictures of your hungry faces. During the holidays, there’s a Christmas tree to make it just that much more festive. These pictures will show up in your account after you scan your MagicBand with the photog.

Characters

Both breakfast and dinner offer characters.  Breakfast plays host to Winne the Pooh, Tigger, Alice, Mad Hatter and Mary Poppins, typically, while dinner brings in Cinderella and her family. And dinner is what keeps us coming back over and over again!! Cinderella may seem to be the headliner at this dinner party, but this show is all about the Tremaines! Anastasia, Drizella and their mama, Lady Tremaine, steal the limelight 100%. They’re flirty, loud and hysterical! Prince Charming rounds out the crew at dinner, and he definitely has his moments, too.  And when he doesn’t, he’s just nice to look at (amirite, moms?!)

Breakfast Characters

Cinderella

Prince Charming

Fairy Godmother

Lady Tremaine

Now, don’t get me wrong. A Fairy Godmother is useful and all, but this crew prefers our mothers Wicked Step as opposed to Fairy God. Lady Tremaine is far more our style!

Anastasia

Drizella
