Review: 1900 Park Fare - Happily Ever After Dinner

This was not our first time visiting 1900 Park Fare for the Happily Ever After dinner.  Well, at least my daughter and I's, as we dined here during our girls only trip back in September 2013.

1900 Park Fare is located at the stunning Grand Floridian Resort off the monorail at Magic Kingdom. I love walking around this hotel, it is just beautiful and majestic.

Once you check in, you will get your photo taken just outside the restaurant against a lovely backdrop.

This past trip we opted to do the Memory Maker, which is hard to justify when you are a photographer.  But I really wanted some of the character photos they include for our photo albums and the ride photos.  This is the "lovely" photo we had snapped before we had dinner.


Once you are called back to be seated, you get settled at a table with a waiter that will tend to drinks and clearing of the table.  This dinner is buffet style.  There were many delicious options available. 

The Heirloom Tomato salad was good, but lacked salt.  However, the caesar salad was delicious. My daughter loved the mac n cheese at the kids station.  I enjoyed the chicken marsala. My husband got his feast on with the various seafood options. 

Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, and the Step Sisters all made rounds at each table. Since it is really hard to find all of these characters (minus Cinderella) in the parks for meet & greets, this character dining is a great way to get to see them.  We even asked Cinderella about her mice friends, which gave us great interaction. And the Step-Sisters are really funny!

These are all photos that I took with my Canon 6D







We opted to do this dining on our off day from the parks.  This way we could have a relaxed day, not have to rush around, and just get to enjoy the evening.  Since we got to the hotel early, we were able to participate in the marshmallow roast down by their beach.  These are nice, quiet, fun experiences that several of the hotels offer and I highly recommend you check them out as they are not typically crowded.  At least they weren't for us.  We did one at our hotel (Port Orleans French Quarter) as well.
