This iconic Victorian restaurant at Grand Floridian will function returning visitor favorites together with a newly refurbished eating room and different particular touches. Identical to earlier than, carousel theming is woven all through 1900 Park Fare. This begins with a brand new mural that’ll function the focus of the restaurant’s entrance.

The creative touches proceed all through the primary eating room of 1900 Park Fare, the place you’ll additionally discover 12 new portraits created solely for the restaurant by Disney artists.

This additionally means the costs must be in Chef Mickey’s territory, which might imply $66 per grownup and $41 per youngster for dinner; $54 per grownup and $34 per youngster for breakfast.
In fact, 1900 Park Fare may find yourself being much less or extra, however our expectation is that it about maxes out the 1-credit worth vary for the DDP. Assuming the precise price is in that ballpark, dinner at 1900 Park Fare will probably be an wonderful (high 5) use of a Disney Eating Plan credit score and breakfast will probably be fairly good.

Turning to commentary, I don’t have a lot so as to add provided that we simply mentioned this very matter in final week’s put up, Why Walt Disney World’s Modifications to 1900 Park Fare Are Controversial Amongst Followers.
The extra I take into consideration this character meal, the much less it is sensible. And actually–the extra reader dialogue and debate, the extra I’m persuaded that my preliminary response was incorrect. (That’s one cause I like an lively feedback part the place folks aren’t afraid to argue–respectfully–and disagree!)
I’m nonetheless going to withhold judgment till experiencing 1900 Park Fare in particular person, however I believe the factors about this being an odd assortment of characters are well-made. The existence and enduring reputation of Story Guide Eating with Snow White at Artist Level alone refutes a number of the potential arguments in favor of those adjustments.
The menu that they’ve teased to date for 1900 Park Fare doesn’t assist. I get why they’re serving Tiana’s Gumbo provided that she’s a personality on the restaurant, nevertheless it simply feels like an odd spotlight for a turn-of-the-century Victorian-meets-Floridian restaurant.
Once more, I can’t assist however wonder if it is a check or non permanent measure till Tiana has her personal restaurant, both in Frontierland or subsequent to Fort Wilderness. However that might take years! (On a associated notice, a former character ‘good friend’ did clarify within the feedback to a different put up that Tiana not sporting her costume might be because of a scarcity of clearance between tables.)
The adjustments to 1900 Park Fare strike me as a too many cooks within the kitchen kinda deal–in figurative and literal senses. Like there have been three competing ideas for a personality meal substitute, certainly one of which revolved across the film Want. When that turned out to be a flop, as an alternative of scrapping the thought and beginning over, they simply threw the entire concepts collectively and altered the idea to “needs” to elucidate away how the grabbag suits thematically.
Needs just isn’t actually a cohesive theme, although. It’s a type of generic Disney buzzwords (like desires, magic, fantasy, or marvel) that’s so open-ended it may imply something and all the things. Maybe the precise execution in particular person, mixed with the brand new decor and character portraits at 1900 Park Fare, will make the “needs” theme work. We will see!
