This was our second time enjoying this experience.
The wait staff here is wonderful and the food is very good, lots to pick from. But that is not why you come here.
The royal family is the main draw here and they never let you down. Cindy and her step sisters are the best! Mother is great yelling at them and at people in general who where not where they where suppose to be. LOL They spend lots of time with everyone and the whole feel is relaxed and jovial.
The best moment for us was when Prince Charming finished dancing with Cinderella he came over and asked our prince to dance. To our surprise our usually shy girl jumped right up! No one at home could believe the pictures. LOL I believe that she was chosen because we where near an open area and she was the only child in a princess dress in the immediate area but I can not be sure.

This had always been one of our favorites. I don't know if it was something "special" Disney was doing around the holidays or if this is just the new normal...but 1900 Park Fare breakfast was not the same.
For starters...we noticed the lobster benedict and the bagel spread with the dill cream cheese and lox cream cheese were missing. We had an 8am ADR...so I wouldn't expect anything to be just gone at this point. It also bothered me because these were some of the pricier options on the old buffet and it's one of several meals we've noticed Disney removing the better items. It really bothers me to no end when they continue to raise prices yet give you lesser food.
The biggest food issue though was some very familiar items. We had dinner at 1900 PF at the beginning of our trip. We noticed several items from the dinner buffet were also on the breakfast buffet. A few of the items (like the farro and feta salad) were things I really liked at dinner, so I figured I'd give it it a try. The taste and texture reminded me of a feta rice dish I make and how it tastes and feels after it's been sitting in the fridge drying out overnight. Yeah...I'm pretty sure Disney slapped the word "brunch" on our 8am meal and recycled food leftover from dinner. The ADR name changed from breakfast to brunch at the last minute, but changing the name for an 8am meal still doesn't excuse this. Disgustingly shameful!
On top of this...the characters were back to back and rushing through every single meeting. They were all taking an average of 30-45 seconds per table. We watched them all in a line, moving like a machine. It was never like this before.
Things were paced so quickly with the characters that many people were paid and leaving at the 30 minute mark. We were done at 40 minutes...and that was a struggle. We were trying to work in a little extra food because we were about to drive home.
This also marks pretty much the only time we've talked to a Disney chef about food allergies and they didn't really have a good grasp on things. Not the most comforting feeling when you're just asking for clarification.
All in all, it makes me sad with what they've done to what used to be a great character meal. We won't be going back.

It took over an hour for us to be seated after our reservation time with no explanation or apology. Servers were rushed and inattentive. Characters where ok but no Mary Poppins who we had been looking forward to. (this is froma prev trip in 2018)

My daughter wanted to go here for her birthday (22years) being a fan of Mary Poppins. The food was not good to say the least. The scrambled eggs were cold and watery. There wasn't much to choose from considering it was a buffet. The wait was long if you wanted specialty eggs (omelets etc.). I asked the host if they could sing Happy Birthday and they did with a little cupcake. For the price we paid I think the food should have been better. I expected more considering it was at the Grand Floridian. Mary Poppins and her friends were great.

My daughter and I eat breakfast here little pricey 76.00 for two adults and nothing special about it but the characters , Mad Hatter,Alice,Mary Poppins,and Winnie the Pooh.. I believe there should be more food choices for the price. I would recommend trying once if you are on a dining plan.

Ate here on the last morning at DW, on 6/14. The draw was seeing the Mad Hatter, Alice, Mary Poppins, Pooh, and Tigger. The food was average compared to other buffet breakfast during the week, and on previous visits to DW. Nothing to write home about. Character interaction was great. 3 year old dressed as Alice, so Alice and the Mad Hatter spent lots of time with her. She loved every moment of it!

I like to always do a character breakfast during our trips and we had never done 1900 Park Fare, so we decided to give it a try. I think in the future we will stick to Chef Mickey's. The food was very good, but the characters were pretty lackluster. The Mad Hatter was funny, but the other 4 barely interacted beyond posing for a quick picture.
My husband really enjoyed the corned beef hash on the breakfast buffet. My favorite were the Mickey Waffles. If I were only rating this meal on the food, it would be a 9 or 10, but since the characters weren't great, that is why I scored it lower.
