This was our first time trying 1900 Park Fare for breakfast. The selection of food was wonderful. The character experience was delightful. Everything was cooked perfectly and we will be making this a must do for our next trip.

Let me start by prefacing how much we loved this place on our last trip. This time it was different. The pretzel rolls that we loved in the past with beer cheese soup, have now changed from rolls to soft pretzel rods. No beer cheese soup was on the menu. Also, the schnitzel was overcooked this time and hard to chew. Service was mediocre and we decided that we will not be making this a must do for a next trip. The one bright note was the band was excellent and our table was great.
Pros:
Location, atmosphere, and the entertainmentCons:

In our 10 days of dining, this was our favorite meal. Everything was done to perfection. The waiter was excellent from explaining all aspects of the menu, specials, dining plan questions, etc...The food was delightful and flavorful. Everything was cooked perfectly. This is one hidden gem that will be on our must do list for next trip.

The food here (if you like seafood) is always delicious and the selection is wonderful. We really enjoyed everything we ate. Our experience was not as good this time because of our waitress. At one point she disappeared for 25 minutes. I had to leave early with my daughter who did not feel well and had to go find a manager to let them know my husband would be handling the bill once the server was found.

Made reservations: arrived early and was admitted right away. Vinny was our server and quite helpful. The entrees were very good, but the salads were a bit ordinary. The desserts were a bit disappointing: the self-serve ice cream was just plain. The Chipotle pasta and green beans were our favorites.

I made advanced reservations thru Disney for 8:55 for breakfast. We changed plans and were wanting earlier dining, so we were there at opening. They were very willing to accommodate us. (Generally, we found all the restaurants for which we had reservations willing (eager) to let us eat early, as much as 30 mins.) Wife had scrambled eggs and i had frittata. Hers was very good, mine was good, but I'm just not that fond of mozzarella. Server was good and friendly. Very filling.

The CM that checked my wife and I in was GREAT. She led us to a shorter line to order and pay (the CM there was also jolly). The food was OK, but the drink service was slow; we were in the large dining room. Had another great experience with same CM upon leaving: We asked her to take our picture and she said laughingly, "No, that's asking too much." She took our picture and the second CM joined in the picture (lots of laughs and kidding about ice cream!)

The order was delivered as promised. Everything was top notch except green apples (brown inside), but could not have known until eaten. Would use again.

Stayed through 9/16 for 6 nts. Greg was especially helpful at check-in due to magic band not working at door at first. Afterwards, the magic bands worked great. The hotel was full, but seemed to run smoothly. The hotel is wonderful because of proximity to Epcot and Studios. Staff was friendly and the Concierge helped with tickets. We would definitely stay again.

It certainly has an air of festivity, but the crowds were suffocating. This was my first time visiting during September. I know some people love the F & W festival, but not me! It was as hot as the surface of the sun, and most of the kiosk queues and tables were smack in full sun. It's enough to give you heatstroke just looking at people waiting. Even if you are visiting Epcot solely for the rides, it was difficult to navigate with the crowds. I will definitely avoid Epcot during the F & W festival in the future. This is my first visit that I have not stayed for Illuminations!
