A First Look at the New Menu at 1900 Park Fare

If you’re a Disney fanatic like me, you’ve probably been eagerly awaiting the reopening of 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Well, the wait is almost over, my friends! With reservations now available for the April 10 grand reopening, Disney has given us a sneak peek at the mouth-watering new menu. And let me tell you, it’s fit for a king – or a princess, if that’s more your style.

Breakfast Fit for a Disney Prince or Princess

Let’s start with the most important meal of the day – breakfast! The 1900 Park Fare Breakfast Buffet is a feast for the senses, with a tantalizing array of sweet and savory options to fuel you up for a day of Disney magic. Indulging in the delightful buffet spread at 1900 Park Fare has always been a highlight of any Disney vacation.

From fluffy Bread Pudding with vanilla crème anglaise to the whimsical Doughnut Holes tossed with shimmer, every bite is a taste of pure enchantment. And don’t even get me started on the Grand Floridian Strawberry Soup – it’s like a hug in a bowl.

But wait, there’s more! The breakfast buffet also features classics like Classic Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce, Croissant Breakfast Pizza, and Smoked Salmon. And for my plant-based pals, fear not – there are plenty of options for you too, like the Double-Chocolate Muffin and Spiced Tofu Scramble with Vegetables. Plus, there’s an assortment of fruit, cereals, pastries, and breads to round out your meal.

Dinner Delights Fit for a Disney Feast

Now, let’s talk dinner. The 1900 Park Fare Dinner Buffet is a veritable smorgasbord of delectable dishes that will make your taste buds sing. From Peel-n-Eat Shrimp with cocktail sauce to Tiana’s Gumbo with spicy andouille sausage, the flavors are bold and unforgettable.

And the mains? Carved Prime Rib, Curry-roasted Chicken, and Baked Salmon with saffron-lemon butter are just a few of the highlights.

But the real showstoppers are the sides and desserts. The Couscous Salad with dried fruits, almonds, mint, and parsley is a refreshing palate cleanser, while the Grand Floridian Financier and Toasted Coconut Cake will satisfy even the sweetest tooth. And let’s not forget the Grand Floridian Strawberry Soup – it’s so good, you’ll want to lick the bowl clean.

Quench Your Thirst

Of course, no Disney meal is complete without a delicious beverage to wash it all down. The 1900 Park Fare Beverage menu offers a variety of soft drinks, as well as a selection of expertly crafted non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages for an additional charge. Sip on a Lavender Lemonade or So Many Wishes for a refreshing treat, or indulge in a Passion Fruit Daiquiri or Strawberry Rosé Spritz for a more grown-up experience.

Reserve Your Spot at the Table

Ready to dine like royalty at 1900 Park Fare? Reservations are now available for breakfast and dinner from 8 am to 12 pm and 4 pm to 9 pm daily. The restaurant is also on the Disney Dining Plan and requires 1 credit. Pricing is still to be announced, so keep an eye out for updates.

And the best part? While you’re enjoying your meal, you’ll have the chance to rub elbows with some of your favorite Disney characters, including Aladdin in his Prince Ali attire, Cinderella, Mirabel, and Tiana in her new look for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. This refreshed character dining experience celebrates the magic of wishes and adds an extra layer of delight to the meal.

There’s certainly quite a mix of opinions about the character lineup for the reopened 1900 Park Fare. Some fans are disappointed with the changes, feeling that the original characters like Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the Tremaines were integral to the restaurant’s atmosphere and theme. They’re concerned that the new character choices don’t quite fit the Grand Floridian’s elegant ambiance.

Others are excited about the addition of new characters like Aladdin and Tiana but still miss the old favorites. It’s clear that the character lineup is very important in guests’ dining experiences, and many are hoping for a return to the original charm of 1900 Park Fare.

On the other hand, the iconic Big Bertha organ, a fixture since 1988, will also remain a centerpiece in the main dining room. Additionally, the restaurant’s carousel theme is woven into every detail, from the impressive mural at the entrance to the whimsical drawings of carousel animals inspired by classic Disney films.

Reservations for 1900 Park Fare opened on March 5 at DisneyWorld.com. Guests can also explore other enhancements at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, including refurbished guest rooms and dining experiences like Cítricos and Enchanted Rose Lounge.

So don’t wait – book your table now and get ready for a dining experience fit for a Disney prince or princess.
