Ooh, fun! I love when we pretend that a resort designed, built and operated by Disney for some reason needs Disney cartoon characters added to it to be considered "Disney."
How exactly was the resort not "Disney" before? Beyond that, can you explain to me how these specific Disney IPs fit within the theme of the resort? Or is the theme of the resort "Disney cartoon characters who make wishes" now?
Inhale, exhale, repeat.
No one said the resort wasn't Disney before.
You seem really fired up about this but it's nothing to be fired up about.
1900 Park Fair has always been a character buffet. The characters used did not necessarily tie directly into the grand floridian theme. This is not new. It didn't need to be explained then and it doesn't need to be explained now. I will agree with you it would be nice if they did but that ship has sailed.
The restaurant has definitely received a very nice upgrade.... decorated infinitely better than what it was before.
The center space previously had all the aesthetics of a vacant sound stage, now is ornate with beautiful chandeliers, gigantic mirrors and lots of meticulously framed and very large pictures that all represent a moment that a wish is being made or granted from a Disney movie. They are beautiful, plentiful, and there's nothing cheap looking about any of them. You don't necessarily have to love it, but there's absolutely no denying that this is an upgrade from the previous 1900 Park Fair.
If you're nostalgic for the four old carousel critters that used to live here, there are pictures of them in the smaller back room, and they are also on the wallpaper in the entry foyer.
And of course Big Bertha remains. And now thanks to being framed better than before, she truly stands out as a genuine show piece.
This this is not the cheaper version being marketed as if it's better.
This is literally better.
