Opinion on changing 1900 park fare characters

[emmaandrewdad]

This restaurant is always available. Maybe if they had some relevant characters. What kids these days even know who Mary poppins, Alice and the mad hatter are? I guess it sort of makes sense with the theme of the hotel but change it up some

mary poppins, alice, the mad hatter, and pooh & friends are only there for breakfast. lady tremaine, anastasia and drizella, and sometimes prince charming are there for dinner. what characters are relevant for some people may not be for others.

 

[CAPTAIN HOOK]

Completely disagree with op. Mary Poppins and Alice In Wonderland are classics and should remain within the appropriate setting of The Grand Floridian

And maybe it's just the time u r going but I seem to never be able to get an ADR here...

There's no replacing Mary, she's practically perfect in every way.

I have an 11 am ADR this week and lady on phone said Alice Mary Mad Hatter and Pooh and Tigger? Or she said EEyore. I think The Pooh and friends are more off being there than the others.

She's "supercal........." Mmm, its not in my dictionary :-(

In what capacity do you work for Disney?

I think the characters there are perfectly appropriate. Who would you add? Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy? And make it exactly the same as Chef Mickeys, Tusker House and Cape May Cafe? 1900 is great because the characters are DIFFERENT than all the other character meals. Since you think those characters are so "dated" couldn't the same be said for Ariel? And Belle? After all their movies came out in like the early 90s.. Why should young children these days know who they are, but shouldn't know who Alice and Mary are? They're all "classic" characters in a sense that their movies are all over 20 years old.

We loved it! Great meeting classic characters. My kids love Mary and Alice! We went last week of October and it was full the whole time we were there.

Can you change the thread title please? It implies you have news about character changes, but it's really just your opinion about changes they should make.

EDIT: Thanks!

 

[Zummi Gummi]

Ridiculous.

 

[PolynesianPrincess]

Snow white is 76 years old....

But yet she is still relevent! lol I was just trying to make the point of it doesn't matter if the characters are from "older" movies, they're all still VERY recognizable.

Snow does look good for 76!

 

[emmaandrewdad]

Totally agree with everyone's comments. I did not mean to come off too negative. My kids do not know those characters but that doesn't mean other people don't enjoy them. I would rather go somewhere I know my kids will recognize everyone. For the price of these meals I want them to embrace every character

 

[JillC LI]

Those classic characters are precisely the reason I wanted to eat breakfast there! And it didn't matter that my kids hadn't seen Alice in Wonderland yet when we ate there because the Mad Hatter is a hoot regardless.

 

[CAPTAIN HOOK]

My kids do not know those characters

Why not ?? The characters are Disney classics, and the DVD's are an essential part to anyone's collection

 

[TB4244]

The other thing to consider is all the characters are British based to fit in with the theme of the restaurant. Even with the cockerney accents

We have had dinner at 1900 Park Fare on 3 separate visits, with Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, and the 2 'sisty uglers', Drizella and Anastasia. Is Cinderella no longer there?
