Storybook Dining at Artist Point With Snow White Review
How-do-you-do everyone!
Disney's Wilderness Social club is the setting for Storybook Dining at Creative person Point with Snow White, a new character meal that is located in Creative person Point, the former Signature Dining eating place. It is a prix fixe meal, currently $55.00 for adults and $33.00 for children 3-ix plus tax and gratuity. Information technology is just one entitlement on the Disney Dining Plan, which I retrieve is a adept value. Plus we received a 10% WDW Almanac Pass discount.
When nosotros arrived to cheque in, we were told that Dopey would non be there considering he was working in the mines that night. We decided to cancel and reschedule, but by the time we finally figured out what we wanted to practise elsewhere for dinner, Dopey did arrive and Artist Point seated us. The proper noun of the meal includes Snow White, so she should be guaranteed – that was something that was emphasized to me 20 years ago when I worked at the Disney Reservation Middle (a graphic symbol named in the meal title should always be at that place). Only each of the characters is so unique – especially Dopey, then hopefully they can brand sure he is at that place too most nights. Someone on Twitter said that Grumpy wasn't at that place the night he first planned to dine.

Before going into my written review with photos, we also have our Mousesteps Weekly YouTube Show #295, where we talk almost the experience.
Nosotros were seated at the back of the eating house, near an entrance where the characters come and go. It was actually a fantastic location considering of that – especially every bit characters were appear. The decor is really prissy inside Creative person Point, and I'd recommend dining subsequently dark to be able to see the lighting better. Because it'southward also decorated for Christmas right now, the wreaths make the restaurant look fifty-fifty more beautiful.
The napkin "ring" is an apple tree, with the names of the 4 characters who should be at the dinner on ane side.
The Evil Queen was announced.
When we were sat, at that place weren't many characters in sight. But the restaurant isn't huge and not all the tables were full, so they seemed to come effectually pretty quickly – Dopey, Grumpy and Snow White stop at tables and we were told when to meet the Evil Queen at her backdrop. Each graphic symbol stopped at our table twice while we were at that place. It was a relaxed meal, non rushed at all.
This is what the exterior of the menu looks like.
There isn't a lot to the inside. There is a story about the dinner to come.
Plainly there was a folio of drinks not in our menus, so in that location were a total of three "Wickedly Refreshing Cocktails" – the Enchanted Apple, the Evil to the Core, and the Transformation Potion (the last being not-alcoholic). No beer or wine carte du jour folio or other cocktails were noted. Underneath the drinks is the shared appetizer listing, and I'd be surprised if some items didn't change seasonally.
This page has "The Cadre of the Story Entrees". Guests can choose ane. At that place are besides "Sweetness Endings Shared Desserts". I didn't really understand the shared part as much considering there is ane for each person as far as appetizers and desserts – except the shrimp jar, there is ane jar.
That is it for the menu, with "The End" at the end.
Dopey arrived to the table.
He checked out the dissimilar appetizer items.
Here is our video with all the characters.
Snow White also soon arrived.
I ordered the Evil to the Core, with Patrón Argent tequila, habanero, blackberry and orange juice. It was a good beverage, simply a fiddling sweeter than spicy.
The three appetizers were brought to the tabular array.There were two small cauldrons of Winter Squash Bisque with a caramel loli & granola; ii mini Hunter's Pies with chicken, black truffle, and rock fruit preserve, and the Wicked Shrimp Cocktail with soy, miso, avacado, Thai chili and greens. Noted on some menus (and the Disney Parks Blog from Oct) online is a From the Garden appetizer including fruit and vegetables. It may be merely for kids, merely I would accept taken that over the Hunter'southward Pie.
The Winter Squash Bisque with caramel loli was creamy and what a bisque should be. This is a small-scale portion, really a sample size of information technology as other appetizers and desserts are.
The Hunter's Pie was tasty but didn't really gustation like chicken within. I'thousand not actually sure what flavor stood out, but I'd non have realized chicken was within if not listed on the card. The stone fruit preserve was probably the all-time part of this dish and in that location wasn't a lot to spread it on. So while I thought this was fine, I would bandy information technology out for vegetables, fruit and a coil if I could.
Jeff said the Wicked Shrimp Cocktail was his favorite appetizer, with large shrimp. He had both since I don't eat seafood.
Grumpy stopped by the table and lived upwards to his proper name. The characters overall here are very unique, the just i I can recollect of that you tin can run into hands elsewhere would be Snow White.
Every so frequently, a song plays – like The Silly Song – and the characters dance. Information technology's a fun part of the meal.
I ordered the Brother'south Grimm Roasted Chicken with confit potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, apples and chestnut butter. This was a actually squeamish dish, I especially liked the potatoes and Brussels sprouts – those were perfectly cooked and the chicken was as well. I took half of information technology home – the size of the entree was really pretty large.
Jeff ordered the Slow-braised Veal Shank with celery root mashed and wilted winter greens. It was very tender and did not demand a pocketknife.
This is the Enchanted Apple drink, with Skyy Citrus Vodka, DeKuyper Pucker Sour Apple, and White Cranberry Juice.
There is a sliced apple inside.
The lighting is really quite dainty, and the restaurant looks very similar but with some changes like the tree branches. The lights do modify color.
We were told that information technology was fourth dimension to come across the Evil Queen. There was no expect for her, and I didn't meet one all night. The properties is really nice and I have been asked if she meets in the Territory Lounge – she doesn't, she meets inside Creative person Point.
Hither is our video with the Evil Queen.
She poses with the Magic Mirror.
Dessert included Miner'due south Treasures, which is a sponge cake with chocolate gems and buttercream icing. Information technology reminds me of a cupcake in a jar, a sugariness dessert that may take been my favorite.
There was also this "Toxicant" Apple tree with white chocolate-apple mousse, and it is supposed to have a sour centre just it didn't seem very sour.
Fairy Tale Gooseberry Pie with meringue and gooseberry is next – I don't know that I have e'er had gooseberry before, and it was actually quite a care for.
There are three desserts, just then one last one later on we received these.
The terminal dessert was The Hunter'southward Gift to the Queen, which includes Cracked Maple Popcorn and a Ganache Heart – and what appears to be dry water ice inside. The server put gloves on for it and it'due south quite the presentation. It is an unusual dessert given the story, but also the chocolate was quite succulent.
Our server dished out the popcorn and hearts.
This is the serving size.
Our server was Stephanie, she was first-class. Each Cast Fellow member wears a special nametag.
I recommend reservations for Storybook Dining at Artist Signal. While the restaurant was not completely full when we dined, I think it was partly because of anybody being in the parks instead of resorts. This will be an extremely popular meal as more guests find out about it.
Here is a look into a unlike department of the restaurant.
There is also a nicely designed children'south carte du jour. The entrees include the Royal Rib Roast, forth with a Prince and Princess Pasta, Vegetarian Steam Bun, and Grilled Craven. Chicken Tenders are available on request, which is a good selection. The "Shared Appetizers" hither do include the From the Garden appetizer that looks delicious.
Snow White merchandise can be purchased both in the Wilderness Lodge mercantile and near the eatery.
The overall feel of Storybook Dining at Creative person Betoken with Snowfall White was terrific for the current toll. Honestly, I hadn't eaten at Artist Point in a number of years, it was a more frequent restaurant feel for me back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I know that this is a loss for those looking for a Signature Dining feel in the setting of what is i of my favorite resorts, Disney'south Wilderness Lodge. But for those who dearest character dining, it will be a welcome improver with harder-to-meet characters and decent and unique food offerings.
