Hello friends! I am so sorry for the delay in finishing this trip report! Especially since there is only a little bit left! But life has been uber crazy and I have just had no time to sit down and put the effort into an update that I needed! Between work being busy, throwing our annual Halloween party and going to Disneyland for the very first time its been a whirlwind! (BTW we LOVED Disneyland! That's a story for another TR though haha) But here we are so let's get this wrapped up!
Day 5 Part 2 Monday June 17th
Once we had the luggage all squared away (we dropped our carry ons with bell services as well), we made our way back into the Grand for our breakfast at 1900 Park Fare! Now, I realize that we had a completely free breakfast available to us in the club lounge but when I booked our stay here I KNEW we had to have breakfast here! This was my family’s go-to, token Disney meal when we would come every year or every other year. I think between the buffet options and the fact that it guaranteed my Mom a trip to walk around the Grand Floridian, it was always what we picked!
So for the pure nostalgia factor, this breakfast had to happen!
We checked in and were seated almost right away. 1900 Park Fare, like Port Orleans French Quarter on our December '18 trip, was like stepping into a time warp. I was very excited for breakfast!
Our waitress warned us that Mary Poppins would be around soon so we decided to wait until she stopped by before going to get any food.
Mary Poppins was completely lovely and practically perfect in every way!
The face of someone enjoying life! (This breakfast was the spoonful of sugar I needed to turn my day around!)
Next up was the Mad Hatter. I was most excited to see him because I remembered how crazy and zany he would be, I knew it would be an awesome character interaction! And it was!! He told me I looked like a lemon wedge in tea and told Dan he looked like Earl Grey haha I guess he had a tea party on his mind!
This is one of my favorite pictures since both of us have crazy eyes! haha
Next up was Alice who overall was a nice interaction but was probably my least favorite character we met. It wasn’t bad by any means but after Mary Poppins and Mad Hatter it was hard for her to live up!
I think after Alice we noticed a decent break between the characters and made our way to grab some food. I was pleasantly surprised with all of the options that they had! And everything actually tasted SO good!
I even tried the famous strawberry soup! Which just tasted like strawberry yogurt to me lol it was good but I definitely scooped out way too much of it!
The last characters to come around were Winnie the Pooh and Tigger! I had read some reports that sometimes they have Tigger meeting out in a hall which I imagine they do as apart of crowd management and getting people out of the restaurant. Today seemed very quiet though so they were just making the normal rounds! (Or we were just one of the last breakfast groups!)
While we were eating I was feeling like I hadn’t snapped or storied enough on insta since we were vlogging and taking pictures on our actual cameras so we the Mad Hatter walked by I asked if he would take a selfie with me and he happily obliged!
I think its one of my favorite character pics ever! Haha
Overall, I was VERY happy with our breakfast experience at 1900 Park Fare. The food was way better than I expected it to be, the characters were awesome and spent a decent amount of time with us and our waitress was awesome too! I definitely want to go back sooner rather than later, totally recommend!!
My original plan for getting over to EPCOT this day was to walk to the Polynesian/TTC from the Grand Floridian but Florida weather had other plans. It was raining pretty hard so we decided to take the long way round on the monorail.
In all honesty, it probably took us as long as walking would have so it all worked out in the end!
