The Disney Character experience is probably high on your list of reasons to dine here, and 1900 Park Fare does not disappoint. In his Prince Ali attire, Aladdin, Cinderella, Mirabel, and Tiana, showcasing her new look for Tiana's Bayou Adventure, are all available during breakfast and stop by each table to hear all about your "wishes."

Every hour or so, the characters take part in a dining room-wide celebration moment, narrated by Jiminy Cricket. You can see that in the video below, along with a look at the buffet and dining room. (4K YouTube)

1900 Park Fare Pricing

Breakfast is $54 and $34 for ages 3-9 plus tax and tip. Dinner is $66 per adult and $41 per child. 1900 Park fare is on the Disney Dining Plan and requires 1 credit.

Pricing is in line with other character dining offerings at Walt Disney World Resort, and for a family of four, expect to be in the region of $200. While an expensive proposition for breakfast, remember that this includes character greetings that give your family individual attention from all four characters during your breakfast. This extra benefit may push the offering to be of reasonable value to your party.

Breakfast is served from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and Dinner – 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Reservations are available now and are highly recommended.

For the prices Disney charges I think it is very reasonable to expect a backup to be in place, especially since we all know we aren't really going for the food in the case of most of these character meals.

Chef idea Mickey`=1 day ago

Ohh yeah totally! For (any) Prince at a Character Dining is the most unique! Makes me wonder if they don't have a backup in any case means they basically don't take the new* lineup of characters here seriously 🙄 or it doesn't matter really.

I more meant unique as he is currently the only male face character at a character meal. For female face characters, you have CRT, Akershus, and Storybook Dining. Aladdin is the one and only male face character currently available. Back ups should be in place.

No, the DDP started well after 9/11. It's nearly always a money loser for guests and a huge money winner for Disney, but people like it as it allows them to feel like it's an all-inclusive trip. Sometimes Disney would offer "free dining" promotions, which came with a dining plan, but you'd be paying essentially the rack rate for the room, so there was little savings.

Mmm. I don't see Aladdin as unique, you can easily find him or meet him at Magic Kingdom. The only unique thing is him wearing his Prince Ali outfit which that alone is unique here!

Thanks for the reply. We only ever started going to WDW in 2009. My understanding however, is that the dining plan only started after tourism was negatively impacted by the 9/11 terror attacks. Is that accurate?

The number of restaurants has improved overall, with Disney Springs adding quite a few good options. The quality of the food at the Disney-owned restaurants was decimated in the late '00s due to the emergence of the Disney Dining Plan. With it, they forced restaurants to cut down menus, use cheaper ingredients, homogenize the sourcing, etc. If people were paying in advance, they had every incentive to make the food cost as cheap as possible to save money. Famously the head of F&B, who had seen taking WDW from a burgers & fries resort to a world class food destination in the 90s/'00s with places like Citrico's, V&As, Jiko, etc left because he didn't like how they were no longer allowing restaurants to manage their own operations and menus, which was a key part to his effort. https://scottjosephorlando.com/dieter-hannig-leaving-walt-disney-world-co/ If you'd have gone to Chef Mickey's 15-20 years ago, for example, you'd have found that nearly every dish was made from scratch in-house (RIP to the homemade parmesan mashed potatoes). Now most things are either Sysco or prepped off-site.

Exactly. The only male character shouldn’t be absent on day 3. I stand by my 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂😂

drizgirl8 days ago

The face palm was likely because it was only day 3. You'd think they'd have backups ready. It can't be a surprise that people get sick.

DisneyDreamer088 days ago

I do think the food looks good and it’s been getting good reviews. 1900 Park Fare used to offer unique characters that you couldn’t meet elsewhere or would be difficult to meet elsewhere. Now it just feels like a standard character meal. It’s not something I would necessarily prioritize.

DisneyDreamer088 days ago

Yeah I just feel bad for kids looking forward to meeting a somewhat unique character only to have him replaced with a character that is relatively easy to meet. Especially on day 3 when people are all hyped up for the grand opening. You would think they would have backups in place.

I watched that. The character breakfast actually seemed to be pretty cute. The wishing interaction part was fun, the characters were engaging and the food looked pretty good.

While potentially disappointing for guests, I’m not sure it’s worth facepalming over. If the actor was unexpectedly ill or otherwise suddenly unavailable, you kind of have to do what you can to make it work, and I imagine Aladdin is a role with fewer people available to fill in on short notice.
