Reopening 1900 Park Fare Post-COVID
To ensure the health and safety of guests and cast members, Disney has implemented several health and safety measures at 1900 Park Fare and throughout the resort.
These measures include enhanced cleaning procedures, physical distancing guidelines, and the use of face coverings if necessary again.
As of today, reservations are still closed per Walt Disney World’s website. However, we’d guess that they will be opening sooner rather than later. It’s also worth noting that 1900 Park Fare once operated in partnership with the Disney Dining Plan as a character table-service option. Although the website currently states that the dining plan is not accepted, we’ll let you know as soon as it’s updated.

The new character line up stinks. Why not throw in characters from Wallee, Bugs Life , and Coco while theyβre at it? They should have stuck with Alice, Poppins, and the Cinderella characters.
