After being closed for over four years, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is finally set to reopen its fan-favorite 1900 Park Fare restaurant on April 10, 2024. When it welcomes guests back, this restaurant will feature a refreshed menu for its breakfast and dinner buffets, as well as a new character lineup including Aladdin in his Prince Ali attire, Cinderella, Mirabel, and Tiana in her Tiana's Bayou Adventure outfit.

In addition, the restaurant's decor has been updated to include a new entrance mural, which will serve as the focal point of the restaurant’s entrance and new artwork depicting carousel animals inspired by classic Disney films like Alice in Wonderland and The Little Mermaid sprinkled throughout the adjoining dining rooms.

Reservations for this reopening restaurant will be available on the official 1900 Park Fare website beginning on March 5.
