1900 Park Fare reservations and alerts

1900 Park Fare is a beloved character buffet at Disney's Grand Floridian, reopened after a long hiatus to happy crowds. Its mix of characters and all-you-care-to-enjoy dining makes it one of the harder tables to secure at Walt Disney World.

What you get at 1900 Park Fare

1900 Park Fare is a character dining buffet at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, serving a rotating lineup of Disney friends across breakfast and dinner. Guests move through an all-you-care-to-enjoy spread while characters make the rounds.

It returned in 2024 after several years closed, and the reunion has been popular — which is exactly why the tables are hard to come by again.

Why 1900 Park Fare is hard to book

Character dining is always in demand, and a newly reopened favorite draws even more. Weekends, holidays, and larger family parties are the first seatings to disappear when reservations release 60 days out.

Getting there from Magic Kingdom

1900 Park Fare is at Disney’s Grand Floridian, one monorail stop from Magic Kingdom and walkable from the park for most people. That makes it easy to fold a character meal into a park day rather than surrendering a morning to travel.

It also means it competes with the in-park character restaurants for the same bookings while having a resort hotel’s capacity, which is a large part of why it disappears so quickly.

A short walk along the lagoon at the Polynesian, 'Ohana serves breakfast with Lilo and Stitch.

In the same building, The Garden View Lounge serves a proper afternoon tea, with a children’s version too.
