Disney has unveiled the first look at the characters meeting guests at 1900 Park Fare, including Tiana in her adventurer gear from Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, as well as a look inside the restaurant for the first time since it closed four years ago.
1900 Park Fare Characters
Ahead of the April 10 reopening of 1900 Park Fare restaurant at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, guests are getting their first look at the characters they’ll be able to meet during breakfast and dinner service. The characters chosen for this revamped dining experience all “celebrate the power of a wish.” This includes Princess Tiana dressed in her adventurer gear, which she will also wear on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — which opens this summer at Magic Kingdom.
Also meeting guests will be Mirabel from “Encanto.”
Aladdin, dressed in his Prince Ali look will be walking around to meet guests.
Cinderella will greet guests as well. In the previous iteration of 1900 Park Fare, “Cinderella” characters were featured at dinner.
We’ve also been given a look at the previously announced portraits in the main dining room. Created by Disney artists, each one highlights a different Disney character “as they hope, dream and wish upon a star (or even a magic lamp or a wishing well).”
Big Bertha, the organ that has called the Grand Floridian home since 1988, will also remain on display in the main dining room. This enhances the dining room’s homage to the late Victorian period and the carousel theming that can be found throughout 1900 Park Fare. In March, Disney revealed the full menu and prices for the restaurant, which includes new additions and old favorites.
1900 Park Fare has not been in operation since the entirety of Walt Disney World Resort closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For a time, it was used as overflow seating for Grand Floridian Cafe. In 2023, it was announced that the restaurant would remain closed for remodeling.
Before its unexpected closure in 2020, the restaurant offered a buffet featuring “Cinderella” characters. During the Wonderland Tea Party add-on, guests could also encounter “Alice in Wonderland” characters.

I’d gladly replace Cinderella with Peter Pan, because Cindy was already at two other meals on WDW property
No. I would if Mary Poppins was still there.
