Meal Time Monday - 1900 Park Fare - Cinderella's Happily Ever After Dinner

Time for dinner and it's just a short monorail stop away from the hustle and bustle of the Magic Kingdom. We find ourselves at 1900 Park Fare for Cinderella's Happily Ever After Dinner.  

This is a great character meal that the whole family can enjoy. 



Located at Disney's Grand Floridan Resort and Spa. 1900 Park Fare is one of the nicer, more formal feeling character experiences at Walt Disney World.


After checking in, you get a picture taken by the Photopass Photographer with you in front of Cinderella Castle.  


Once we were seated, Prince Charming greeted us.  We had not gotten our drinks yet and he was at our table!  The kids did not talk much to him, because it seems to take them a while to get warmed up.


1900 Park Fare is a buffet with tons of choices and there is truly something for everyone.  I feel that it may be one of the larger buffets at Disney World.  Clair was satisfied with her meal!


One of the unique items here is the Strawberry Soup.  It is not soup, as much as desert.  It is super sweet and very good.  Don't skip this just because it looks weird or you don't want "soup".  


Next up was Cinderella herself!  She welcomed us to her meal!


Then we met some really interesting folks.  Lady Tremaine stopped by and was her usual rude self.  She turned her nose up at everything the kids said to her.  Clair choose not to be in a picture with her.  It was hilarious.  


Next to stop by was Drizella Tremaine.  The kids asked her a few questions and her answers were funny.  The more you talk to the Characters they more they interact with you.  So feel free to think up something funny to ask them and see what they say.


Finally we had Anastasia Tremaine stop by.  Alden asked her who the better singer was between her and her sister and she yelled half way across the room to argue about it with her sister.  It was funny and Alden enjoyed being the cause for a fight between sisters.


We were celebrating Samantha's birthday with this meal even though it was over a month away, because Alden and Clair got to have their actual birthdays on this particular trip.   They brought her a cupcake with a candle in it.  It would make more sense to do this at a non buffet restaurant because we had access to tons of desserts.




About once an hour they have a formal dance.  Anastasia came running back across the room when it started and danced with Alden.  That is why we encourage the kids to ask the characters some questions you never know what it will lead to!


You can find the menu here!
