Is 1900 Park Fare the only restaurant still closed ? What else would be on the list?

Restaurant Marrakesh (but I think that one’s definitely not coming back?)
Garden View Tea Room
Trattoria Al Forno has breakfast, but character breakfast hasn’t returned…

That’s all I can think of

IIRC, that restaurant came back after Covid but closed due to other reasons.

It’s been way too long, but Disney says the parking lot trams are really going to return to EP and HS next month, September. :white_check_mark: But no specific date given. :x:

The parking lot trams are finally back at EP and HS! At least WDW met the September month they’d stated in August.

Wait, what?! I haven’t been near 1900 Park Fare since 2006. Were they still the Mary Poppins characters plus Alice in Wonderland? Up until the pandemic, I mean. Aladdin seems… incongruous at first glance.

Wow I’ve missed this thread! (But glad it’s not happening anymore) I’m all for modernizing characters but could they have picked a more random bunch? That’s such a pretty and old-fashioned setting. I know people will really miss the step sisters.

Breakfast was Pooh, Tigger, Mary Poppins, Alice and Mad Hatter. Dinner was Cindy, Prince, Lady Tremaine and Ugly Sisters.

I wish it had been the tea room.

That was my thought too. Though, the more I think about it - the more Cinderella seems like the misfit here? Ultimately though - I guess they’re all ‘everyman’ characters?

Any rumblings about the character breakfast at Trattoria coming back?

Nothing about TaF bringing back the characters.
