The moment we’ve all been waiting for has FINALLY arrived!

1900 Park Fare has finally reopened as of April 10th at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa! This restaurant has been closed since 2020 and we’re thrilled to finally be able to dine here once again. So, of course, we’re taking you with us for a review!

It’s time for breakfast at 1900 Park Fare in Disney World! This buffet restaurant serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner with characters and we’re here to check it out for breakfast — let’s get into it!

Atmosphere

Disney promised some decor changes when they announced 1900 Park Fare would be reopening, so of course we had to check those out! Since it is a character meal, you will need Advance Dining Reservations to eat here. When we arrived, we stepped through the new, blue doors and waited to be seated.

We knew that there were going to be refurbishments inside the dining room, which you can see here. New decor has been added, which you can see in the video below! We especially love

As part of the refurbishment, Disney has updated the theme of the restaurant as well. It’s now themed after wishes that characters have made and that have come true. In addition to the characters you’ll meet during this meal, you’ll also see nods to people like Arthur and Asha…

…Rapunzel, Ariel, and more!

After taking a look around the restaurant for a bit, we found our table and had a seat.

When you’re seated, you’ll get a wish card that you can write your own wish on. And, it’s also signed by the characters you get to meet here, too: Aladdin, Mirabel, Cinderella, and Tiana.

And all guests get a wish card (that you can write your own wish on!) signed, of course, by our hosts Aladdin, Maribel, Tiana, and Cinderella! ✨

Once we took our seat, we had a look at the beverage menu. Speaking of which…

…now that we’ve taken our seat — let’s find out what we’re having to EAT!

Menu

We got a full look at the breakfast menu before the restaurant opened. You’ll find so many different options to eat and drink for breakfast at 1900 Park Fare! There are specialty cocktails…

…and more specialty cocktails…

…plus, typical breakfast offerings like carved ham, cereal, cheesy potato casserole, and a BREAKFAST PIZZA!

There’s also scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and more.

At this character buffet during breakfast, adult meals are priced at $54 per person, while children’s meals are priced at $34 each for ages 3-9. Dinner is priced at $66 per adult and $49 per child ages 3 through 9.

You will also be able to use the Disney Dining Plan to pay for your meals at 1900 Park Fare, and character buffets can be a good use of credits if you were already planning to enjoy one.

Characters

Characters at this refreshed dining experience include Aladdin in his Prince Ali look, Cinderella, Mirabel from Encanto, and Tiana in her new look for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. They will all be present to “celebrate the power of a wish” at Wish Makers Enchanted Dining! During our meal, we saw Aladdin…

…Cinderella…

…Mirabel…

…and Tiana!

We spent a few minutes with each character before they moved on to other tables. This can be a great way to meet multiple characters and get a meal in at the same time!

Eats

Since this is a buffet, there are LOTS of options to choose from — no matter what you’re in the mood for! You’ll find plenty of options to choose from, including traditional eats like scrambled eggs…

…chicken breakfast sausage…

…bacon…

…biscuits…

…sausage gravy…

…cheese grits…

…and oatmeal.

Plus, some other items like the famous Strawberry Soup, served with fresh strawberries and whipped topping!

Trust us — this stuff is delicious and it’s so unique!

Vegetarians and vegans can enjoy the Spiced Tofu Scramble…

…while others may enjoy Eggs Benedict…

…or sliced ham from the carving station!

There’s a beef and potato hash…

…along with a cheesy potato hash, too.

Can we talk about this BREAKFAST PIZZA for a second?!

And, of course, there are Mickey Waffles…

…along with pancakes…

…guava and cream cheese danishes…

…yogurt with granola…

…fruit salad…

…croissants…

…and other breads and bagels.

You’ll find some bagel accouterments as well…

…along with some sweeter pastries like muffins and doughnut holes!

We were SO excited for the return of the strawberry soup, so of course we had to try it first! This is the moment we had been waiting for and we’re happy to say it did NOT disappoint. It tastes similar to a thinner strawberry smoothie or yogurt, and keep in mind that it is served cold. You can top it with whipped cream and strawberries as well!

We tried the Mickey Waffles, which were pretty standard — albeit a bit on the soggy side, which tends to be par for the course at buffets. The scrambled eggs with cheese were a step up from regular scrambled eggs and we enjoyed them — not too overdone or dry. Note that there are omelets available here but you need to order those through your server. The chicken breakfast sausage was smoky and had a great snap just like you want it to. The bacon was on the crunchy side when we had it, but your mileage may vary there.

We tried the biscuits and gravy, too, which were just alright. The biscuits were dry, but the gravy was the shining star. It was more like a brown gravy than a white, sawmill-style gravy which helped the dry biscuit. The carved ham we had was on the dry side as well, but it could have just been the piece we had. The cheesy grits were so, so, so good — for a breakfast buffet, these were creamy, cheesy, buttery, and hit the spot. The cheesy potato casserole was incredibly rich and cheesy, which we’re certainly not complaining about.

The cinnamon pull-apart bread was also incredible and we could have eaten it until we got sick — it was that good. It’s served with a creme anglaise that helps keep it moist, but it didn’t even need it in some cases. This bread was soft, warm, sweet, and spiced thanks to the cinnamon. The breakfast pizza was another standout. It’s made on a croissant crust so it’s perfectly flaky and buttery, with sausage gravy, cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon on top. It was a super fun option and the flavors came together nicely. Kiddos would probably like this one too!

We were pretty impressed with the Spiced Tofu Scramble, even as non-vegetarians! It had a nice spicy, southwest flavor thanks to the veggies and it made for a great option other than hash browns and eggs for those veggie-eaters.

Of course, we had to wash all that food down with something!

Drinks

You’ll find some regular and specialty beverages here, and we kicked things off with POG juice and some coffee! If you’ve never had POG juice, it’s a tropical fruit drink made from passionfruit, orange, and guava, and it’s a staple around Disney World. It’s fruity and sweet — and we love it!

We got POG juice (‼️) and coffee, but there’s a menu of all specialty cocktails to choose from!

We got the nonalcoholic So Many Wishes drink for $6.29. This is made with Pomegranate Green Tea, Hibiscus, Lemon, and a dash of Star Dust. We really enjoyed this! It was heavy on the pomegranate flavor and almost tasted like raspberry to us without that tartness you normally get with it. The gold star flakes are a super fun touch and would make this a fun drink for kiddos!

The Lavender Lemonade was $6.29 and is Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade with flavors of Lavender inspired by New Orleans’ influence on American cuisine. This was WAY more lavender than lemonade to us — we’re not sure if it was just the mocktail we got, but the lavender syrup was much stronger than the lemonade. It was floral and tart but not in the best way!

Let’s get to the menu! We are reviewing some of the drinks first. Here we have the non-alcoholic So Many Wishes ($6.29) and Lavender Lemonade ($6.29).

As far as cocktails go, we tried the Cold Brew Martini for $16. This is made with SelvaRey Chocolate Rum, Tia Maria Liqueur, and Joffrey’s Coffee Cold Brew. This was a pretty standard espresso martini — which isn’t to say it wasn’t good! It was perfectly balanced and a nice breakfast cocktail, but we wouldn’t go out of our way to get it.

 

So, should you book a table at this restaurant?

Overall

Breakfast here is not one to be missed if you’re a fan of these characters or are looking for a nice, sit-down meal while you’re staying at the Grand Floridian or are heading to Magic Kingdom for the day.

We didn’t get a ton of repeat interaction from the characters, but we did get some more quality interactions with them instead. Give 1900 Park Fare a try on your next Disney World trip!
