We were really looking forward to this meal since it was one of the highlights of our last trip two years ago. This time it was a complete let-down. Food options seemed to be greatly reduced and the food was just OK. Worst of all....no step sisters, who IMO were the highlight of the meal. We'all be skipping this one next trip.

Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Smaller food selection than last time and no STEP SISTERS

We at here the night we arrived on September 24, 2016.

I hardly ate anything, nothing really looked appetizing to me. I ate a few shrimp and kids pizza. My son liked the pizza. My friend's daughter loved the strawberry soup.

We loved Lady Tremaine, she was hilarious. The step sisters spent a bit of time at our table, joking and taking picture. Cinderella and Prince Charming left pretty quickly, took pictures and left.

It was nice the way each characters is introduced as they walk out.

Our waitress was good. The food was just ehh. 3 adults all agreed it wasn't anything we would do again.

Pros:

Lady Tremaine

Cons:

Food wasn't so great

1/21/16 We arrived at opening, was a bit chaotic, if you have a family member who loves Cinderella, this is the buffet for you. Great photo op is the only reason I could think of anyone going here. I had read so many great reviews of the food,I frankly was shocked over how blah, the food was. The typical Disney buffet, blah, not "bad" but not good food. The beef, sliced paper thin was tasteless and the turkey tasted like processed turkey, very heavily salted, not very appetizing. If you are on the fence about this one, choose something else. Desserts were the best thing about the meal. I also think the service here was slow, and it may have been from the "guaranteed tip" due to us being a party of six. We will not be back and again, if you expect more from this than good character interaction and a few ok desserts, you will be disappointed.

Pros:

Great Character interaction! Desserts were ok

Cons:

Food is fair, mediocre at best,disappointing

I took my son here to see the characters, specifically the stepmother and stepsisters as I heard they were hysterical. I am bringing 3 teenagers later this summer and thought they'd get a kick out of it. We are not coming back.

The food was good. We were there for almost an hour and a half and the stepmother and sisters never got anywhere near our table. One was speaking to a group of young men for a long time near us, but then left and started all over again across the room. I can't tell you if they were funny or not, since they were always far away. It seems if you get in the middle of the room, you have a lot of interaction, but none if you are not there. Cinderella was weird. She said something about the mice eating all her cheese, that neither of us understood. Prince Charming was nice, but I don't think he knew what to make of a mom and son at the dinner, and it was a little awkward.

Overall, a disappointing experience.

We had 12 people in our party. 4 people were stuck on the Monorail for 20 minutes and there was no problem with them holding our reservation. We were put at a round table that had all the chairs crowded together. We had a difficult time getting up to take pictures with the characters. The characters were extremely rushed. Never had a character meal like this before. Food was good. I am a vegetarian and had plenty of food items to choose from. The food was good, but the crowded surroundings and RUSHED characters make me never want to come back here again.

Pros:

Food

Cons:

Very Rushed with Characters

It PAINS me to remove 1900 dinner from our 'must eat at list'. In just four short years this place droppED' from 1 of our top 3 dining experiences to...not on the list at all and went from a 10 to a 4. Menu has gotten bland as did Cinderella and the Prince. The step-sisters were the hi-lite. They even took away the ice cream machine. OUCH! If you like to be rushED' and taste doesn't matter, then this place is for you. HOWEVER! Breakfast is a different story. That review coming soon.

Pros:

not as many as before

Cons:

food and characters

In two trips to WDW this was by far our worst dining experience.The cast members were non-Disney-like in both attitude and demeaner,the food wasn't very good in quality(the strawberry soup was very good though.),and unless you like all kinds of salads,the selection was minimal.What really upset me though was after I had told the cast members,when I checked in for our reservation,that it was our 13th wedding anniversary ,we were seated in the "hallway"and not acknowleged in any way-while out in the main room several large groups had birthday's celebrated(come to find out they had bought the picture packages and we hadn't!).We also observed management walking around in the main room talking to the tables but no one came out to our area.Our server was responsible for almost all the tables in our area-water being refilled was an experience!-felt bad for her-she was frustrated and it showed.We would have left but our 10-year old daughter really wanted to see the characters and I'm glad we did.She got to meet all of them-they were all wonderful but the step-sisters and stepmother were great in staying in character and just fun to meet.We weren't the only one's who had a less than Disney time-talked to a family on the monorail back to Magic Kingdom who felt almost the same as us, and we will definitely not come here again.VERY DISAPPOINTED!

We had a reservation on May 28. We arrived 30 min early and we were seated within 5 min. I will begin by saying I was expecting more from a restaurant within the Grand Floridian. It took the first characters nearly 45 min to get to our table. The interaction was hurried. It felt like, "lets take the darn picture so I can get to the next table." The service was actually good, but the food quality was poor. The food was below average and the buffet had a limited selection. Much better food quality at Cape May. This is not worth the money or dining credits. If you want to see princesses go to Akershus breakfast in World Showcase.

Pros:

Cons:

Overall quality

The food was good but the noise level was almost unbearable. The wait staff was good but rushed. The most important reason for coming to this buffet are the characters and I found them to be lacking. They were not very interactive and because we were at the end of their rounds they rushed. Anastasia was by far the best. I have dined at CRT and the princess lunch at EPOCT and prefer the character interactions there. The chef was very helpful in dealing with our allergies. We did enjoy our evening however, due to the cost and characters I cannot recommend.

Pros:

food and chef

Cons:

characters and noise level

Food was mediocre, characters were amazing. So much fun with the step sisters! It's only worth visiting if you want to see the step sisters or the evil stepmother.

Pros:

Great character interactions. You get to meet with Cinderella and prince charming after the meal for a pic.

Cons:

Food isn't great
