Who are Cinderella's friends?

[fmingo36]

After numerous unsuccessful attempts at getting dinning reservations for Cinderella's castle, I settled on dinner at 1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian so my dd can meet Cinderella. According to Birnbaum's guide-it list Cinderella and friends as the character that attend the dinner. I know that characters change but could someone tell me which "friends"have been there in recently?

I *think* it is usually Perla and Suzy (her mice) Prince Charming, and Fairy Godmother. I've never done that dinner but I've always wanted to! Have fun!!

In addition, I also specifically remember both Mary Poppins and Alice at 1900 park fare the last time i went... but mind you, this was ages ago.


As for Dining in Cinderella's castle...*sigh*...no clue. I've never dined there either

The dinner at GF is usually Cinderella, Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother, Suzy, and Perla.

I remember Marry Poppins and Alice as well, but like you said it was quite a while ago and it may have changed obviously.

Also, I have eaten in Cinderlla's castle, for breakfast, and I don't know...my family wasn't a big fan of it. I mean, it was neat to eat in the castle and whatnot, but we weren't big fans of the food and it just wasn't what we were expecting I suppose? Mind you again, this was a few years ago, but at the time my cousins and I (we were all at the most 9-12 years old I'm guessing) just didn't care for it...

Can some tell me why they have Suzy and Perla(unnamed mice in
the movie) and not Jaquac and Gus? I would love to meet Gus!!!

We ate there for dinner in January it was pretty good and if I remember correctly Cinderella and Prince Charming came around together and then Susie and Perla came around and the Fairy Godmother was in the Lobby for pictures she did not come around to the tables. Mary Poppins and Alice I believe are part of a breakfast there. My memory is pretty fuzzy about the food and such as my father had a heart attack that night and we ended up leaving early to drive home to be with him.

I think it's because of they are girls and that's a dinner people take their girls to. Also, even if they don't name them in the movie... they are the ones that sew her dress..."leave the sewn' to the women..."

Also, people are right in that Cinderella is at Dinner and Mary Poppins/Alice are at breakfest.

We have done dinner there a number of times. The food is really good.. better than eating in the Castle. We did the Castle breakfest twice, and what you are paying for there is the Castle. 1900 is better food for less money, and more interaction with the characters I think.

We've done both and prefer the castle, but 1900 was still fun...it is one of the few chances to meet Prince Charming.
I would not give up on the castle yet...tables open up occasionally (if someone cant make it, they are more likely to call and cancel since so they can get their money back....unlike other character meals that do not require pre-payment...some people do not bother calling to cancel those). It does takes persistence...keep calling, and once you are there stop by and ask if they have had any cancellations. It is worth a try!

Thanks for the info. I'll think my dd would be happy to see the Prince, but I'm going to still keep trying for the castle. The more princesses the better!!!

 

[LivingtheDream]

we went back in 05' and Genie was in the lobby playing around with everyone and signing autographs and getting his pic taken ... he made the wait very enjoyable

Just an FYI though:
1900 Park Fare will be changing soon. It will be Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine and Anastacia and Drizella. I can't give an exact date as to when it'll be happening, but it will be soon.

If you after alot of princess you might be better off having breakfast at Epcot at he Princess character Breakfast at the Akershus Royal Banquet hall restaurant. You get to see Jasmine, Belle, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Maulan, and Mary Poppins. Sorry no Cinderella.

Definitely try for Princess Storybook Dining at the Akershus restaurant in Norway. We did a dinner there last trip and we saw Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, and Snow White. It was Princess heaven for DD. I also think the castle is pretty overrated. I wouldn't be too bummed if you don't get it. We were rather underwhelmed at the CRT breakfast we did last Sept.

Seriously? I didn't think that they were switching.

When we went to 1900 Park Fare last summer, in addition to Cinderella, we saw The Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Suzie & Perla.

I think my dd would like to see Anastasia. She knows her from Cinderella 3-A twist in time. If anyone knows when or if this change has taken place, please let me know.

Thanks!

My family had dinner at the Castle in April, and the only opportunity to meet Cinderella is in the lobby. She sits in the lobby and each group gets a photo with her (and an autograph, I guess). Then, you go up to dinner and at some point while you are dining, the Fairy Godmother, accompanied by Suzy and Perla, do a little performance--the FG sings a song while they all dance through the restaurant and finish up on a little stage at the front--then the mice circulate through the restaurant for pictures and autographs. That's it.

You are probably better off with the GF dinner, it sounds like you will have more of an opportunity to interact with a greater # of characters, including Cindy herself.

That will be a fun character meal!

I know! I would love to eat there with those characters.
