Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
Nearly four years ago, Walt Disney World Resort was forced to close its gates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resort was closed for four months — something that never happened before. When the parks finally reopened, the Disney experience was only a shell of what it once was.
Guests were required to wear face coverings at all times, could only eat and drink in designated areas, and were required to remain 6 feet apart. There were also strict capacity requirements.

All of those COVID protocols are now a thing of the past, and Disney World is nearly back to what it was before the pandemic.
However, there is still one glaring thing missing — the ability to dine at 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The popular character dining spot closed when the pandemic hit, and its doors have remained shut since.
1900 Park Fare Is Returning!
However, in February, Disney finally announced that 1900 Park Fare will reopen on April 10. Reservations for 1900 Park Fare are currently open!

What changes at 1900 Park Fare are you most looking forward to experiencing? Let us know in the comments!
You didn’t mention the most salient factor in deciding where to eat dinner….THE PRICE!!!
The new character lineup stinks compared to the original ones. I won’t be going there again.
No Lady Tremaine and stepsisters?! They were the best part!
No Mad Hatter & Alice?! No Mary Poppins?! No Cinderella & Prince Charming?! Might as well have just made this another barbecue buffet & changed the name, too. New character lineup not worthy of GF elegance. Another big mistake to drive away loyal Disney-philes.
We have been there about a dozen times. We’ve had wonderful experiences with both the characters of breakfast and at dinner.
One of the best experiences was my *Now, 16-year-old grandson, having the Tremaine stepsisters all around him, talking to him And making his five-year-old face so red with embarrassment! we still love to show him that! Lol
It won’t be the same with the new characters. I guess I won’t be spending my money there again.
I am not sure who Disney thinks will be going to any of these buffet restaurants. If you do the math dinner for two adults plus tax and a 20% tip you are talking about $167.64 with out a glass of wine. With the wine you are talking about nearly $200.00.
A family of nine with five children and four adults your talking over $550.00 without wine. My wife couldn’t eat $66.00 in her best day nor can I anymore. Overall the restaurant prices at Disney are out of sight and what your getting doesn’t begin to qualify to what they are charging
