1900 Park Fare reopening in April at Grand Floridian

Before the character dining restaurant’s closure, Alice, the Mad Hatter, Tigger, Winnie the Pooh, and Mary Poppins appeared during breakfast, while Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, and the stepsisters appeared during dinner. When it reopens for breakfast and dinner, guests will be greeted by familiar and new faces, including Aladdin (as Prince Ali), Cinderella, Mirabel, and Tiana in her new look for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure who will “celebrate the power of a wish.”

The buffet will also include include new and returning dishes, including the famous strawberry soup. Chefs have come up with dishes that honor the characters and stories celebrated throughout the restaurant.

Guests who’ve visited 1900 Park Fare before, can rest easy knowing that Big Bertha, an antique organ that has called the resort home since 1988, will be on display as the grand centerpiece in the main dining room.

The restaurant continues its carousel theme, starting with a new mural, which serves as the focal point of the restaurant’s entrance. One of the adjoining dining rooms will even have drawings of carousel animals inspired by classic Disney films like “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Little Mermaid”.

Twelve new portraits created exclusively for the restaurant by Disney artists will be on display throughout the main dining room. The portraits are inspired by the impressionist art style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with each one featuring a different Disney character “as they hope, dream and wish upon a star (or even a magic lamp or a wishing well).”

Guests can begin reservations for 1900 Park Fare beginning March 5, 2024, for dining beginning April 10, 2024. Reservations can be booked online or via the My Disney Experience app. Dining Plans are not accepted at this dining location.

The character dining experience has been closed since March 2020. Are you excited to see its return after all this time?
