When we were there with my 3 year old niece (May 2022) the characters and photopass people were wonderful! It is still one of my favorite memories. Snowwhite went above and beyond with her interactions. However, the food was just ok. Our apps and desserts were the same items but prepared differently and were the best part of the meal. We were also allowed to ask for more of them as well, which we did. The only way I would go back would be for my niece, her joy and excitement was priceless!
The appetizers were very tiny. The main entrée was the only thing that’s substantial to make up that price tag. Is it just me or Disney getting cheaper and cheaper, but charging the customer for more and more for less.
They will bring more of the appetizers. Our CM kept bringing me more of the mushroom bisque because I said it was the best. He also brought me an extra gooseberry tart. We had a great experience.
We went in December 2022 on Christmas. Our server was amazing and not only made sure we had as much of the food (the appetizers) as we want but also made sure all the characters came by. Snow White is my wife favorite movie so this was joy for her. The characters went above and beyond to interact with my family especially with my wife in a wheelchair. The staff during our meal went above and beyond and even gave my wife a special cup with the characters signatures. The characters did not rush us at any point in their interactions.
Same here. I surprised my friend with the experience and we had an awesome server, we had the evening's specials: Salmon and the other dish was gnocchi, my friend is Italian and he is STILL talking about that dish and it was about a month ago (May). For a character meal, this is definiately one of the better ones.
Yes it was a few years back for us too, we got seconds on the soup and the prime rib. But that was a few years ago. I kind of wished they would have asked, so we know if that is still the case.
We were super pleased with our meal there in January! While I enjoyed Artist's Point back in the day, we only went once and it was absolutely dead in there when we did. So I wasn't shocked when they flipped it to a character meal. The vibes are great! Plus my 5 year old LOVED seeing the evil queen. Edited to add: I got the sustainable fish entree and enjoyed it. Also the mushroom bisque was a standout to me.
I've dined there a few different times and always asked for additional servings of the apps and they have happily brought out more. I think I had like 3 or 4 bowls of that mushroom soup, haha.
The food and experience there is so good. I was not sure if it would be worth it, but once we did it, it was totally worth it and so well done. And our table was also all adults.
We went in March and it was wonderful! The food was fantastic especially the mushroom soup and prime rib and the whole experience and characters were great!
I love your reviews and watch these before I book!!! Would you be able to bring a kid with you to some places and they can give their reviews of the kids menu?? I think that would be cute and helpful too!
Lo🎉ve your videos but we had a different experience at Storybook dining. We just went in April. You could ask for more of the apps. We all had either the prime rib or the pork and it was great. The adults liked all of the desserts - character interaction was good but the Evil Queen we had really played up the evil and it was great fun especially if you are a villain fan. We were 7, 4 adults and 3 children - 4, 7, 9 and my only complaint revolves around that it isn't meal friendly for kids. For the kids, we ordered the chicken fingers, on the children's menu, but there was an up charge, which was not cool given the prices. For dessert, there wasn't anything "kid friendly". They had what the adults had. That said, it was an overall enjoyable experience with good food but not a repeat if you are a frequent visitor. Thanks for your content - love you 3 as a team!
We went about a year ago, and the food we had was EXCELLENT both in presentation and taste!! Your meals didn't look as good as ours did a year ago, we were planning on booking this one but I think I might have changed my mind? Thank you for the video...we would have rated it last year as 1 of the BEST restaurants in Disney!
It seems like since the dining plan came back the food quality has started to go back down hill again, i have noticed it at several restaurants around Disney it just seems they are going a lot cheaper on the ingredients
This was going to be a one and done for me the food truly did not impress me. However my daughter and granddaughter really want to go so I booked it again for our June trip. We shall see…
I did it solo and that was hilarious when they brought out the appetizers and desserts. One little item on each plate. I chose the prime rib. It was ok. Not great but just ok. It was very awkward to get pictures with the characters. Their handler didn't automatically offer so I had to keep asking with each one. And the Evil Queen was fantastic. Had fun with her. My server was great - when I sat down I told him in advance I'd give him a great tip if he made sure my drink was full. And he did. I think I ended up having 5 drinks. I loved the decor in there but for me it was a one and done.
We ate there a couple months ago and asked for more appetizers. They gave them to us at no extra charge. We enjoyed our experience there and plan to return.
They used to have a very cool print out menu last time i went 2020. I like a proper menu and not qr code haha feel I’m on my phone enough I like a sit down dinner to feel like a proper one
It's been 5 years since we ate here last, which is kind of crazy to think about, but they seem to keep the same apps and desserts, but change them up. Our Hunters Pie was definitely more of a pie since it was in a puff pastry. I'm pretty sure our miners treasure was like deconstructed cake in a jar and honestly was delicious so kind of a bummer they those portions of the meal went down a bit. Not sure if it's still on there, but the Gnocchi dish was excellent.
Wow Craig liked something lol. Just was there last month, don't think I'd be back but agree the prime rib was very good. Felt rushed and appetizers could have been a little more on plate.
I was there precovid on the dining g plan. It was one ticket not two and the booze was included. The shank was veal not pork. This is a huge increase in price and lower quality. I to.d Grumpythat I wanted his job.
Hannah and Ryno were wrong.... you can get as much as u want...And I love the meatball, prime rib and mashed potates!!!!! Try it folks, you will love it.
I went in 2022 and did not enjoy it. The service was sooo slow. Our server disappeared and we didn’t get waters until after we ate our appetizers. I even asked 2 other cast members if we could get waters but still nothing until we our server showed up 30 minutes after we were first seated. Appetizers were cold. Entres were good though. As well as the character interaction. I dont remember the desserts. And the surprise in the box was just chocolate hearts without the smoke or golden popcorn that everyone else seems to get.
While we enjoyed the character interactions (needed more dwarves) the menu was very underwhelming and odd, loud environment (it was pretty although the paintings did not match Snow White), pressure to eat fast, and very expensive (if anything causes me to part with my dvc, it will be food prices). And yes, we have given it multiple chances, we won’t eat there again. I’d rather CRT if I’m spending a lot on character dining.
We did this last week and liked the food and had a good time but were really disappointed because evil Queen was a guy in drag. They also did not have the evil Queen interact, probably because it was a guy in drag which was the right choice for the interaction. Just didn’t expect the Queen to be a guy in drag when it is advertised that you are meeting with her.
I dislike QR code menus, can’t use them, my phone is too small. It starts off the eating out on a downer for me. I couldn’t even use the preorder at California Adventure, the cast member couldn’t do it either. Another frustration for me. Doesn’t save me any time. I just don’t go back. I do like the theming at that restaurant, too bad it wasn’t the best. Like this group of reviewers a lot.
Still boycotting this place and hoping they kill the character meal. Artist Point was one of our favorites. Former Disney Archivist and Disney Legend Dave Smith used to say it was his favorite Disney restaurant, and he almost never gave an opinion when asked about his favorite Disney character, movie, etc.
Sorry two of you had a terrible expensive experience. My favorite also. Apparently you guys haven't watched any other blogs on this. I know a couple who had 4 entrees. First prime rib then pork shank. She had o e and the writer said you need to try tge gnocchi. It's know it is unlimited appetizers and desserts. Also I think a late night reservation is better. Less kids and staff is less stressed. Sorry.
It’s ok Rhino doesn’t know what a gastrique is, but when his job is literally to review food, can’t he take 5 seconds to look up what it is rather than telling us he doesn’t know? Pretty juvenile

I don't know how this trio is not getting more views. Great chemistry
Nothing says I am dining in the forest like…..shrimp cocktail! The appetizers really could have used some work.
The appetizers were very tiny. The main entrée was the only thing that’s substantial to make up that price tag. Is it just me or Disney getting cheaper and cheaper, but charging the customer for more and more for less.
Great review, I also realized how much I love your ratings being in the resorts/parks
They will bring more of the appetizers. Our CM kept bringing me more of the mushroom bisque because I said it was the best. He also brought me an extra gooseberry tart. We had a great experience.

Ryno’s the cutest!
I'm Grumpy but I hope this drink makes me feel Dopey. We're off to a great start with that one. 😄
It's not advertised, but it is all you care to enjoy. You just have to ask for it. I enjoyed double prime rib!
Yes it was a few years back for us too, we got seconds on the soup and the prime rib. But that was a few years ago. I kind of wished they would have asked, so we know if that is still the case.
I watched a British vlogger last week eat there and they did ask for seconds and got them
Love the all of your themed fits! Hannah your dress is so cute and looks great on you!
We were super pleased with our meal there in January! While I enjoyed Artist's Point back in the day, we only went once and it was absolutely dead in there when we did.

Awesome video. Y’all have a great rapport and loved Craig’s comment about how he would never turn down a meal with Ryno and Hannah
I've dined there a few different times and always asked for additional servings of the apps and they have happily brought out more. I think I had like 3 or 4 bowls of that mushroom soup, haha.
How long ago was the last time you had the additional servings. I wonder if they still do that.
@@theresawolski3255 Last time was January 1st for me.
I came here during my first solo trip and I loved this place! I didn't have anything to complain about and the Mushroom soup was super killer!
Great vid good teamwork
💯 agree!! But this is my teenage daughter’s favorite restaurant onsite so we go EVERY trip and all I think is I paid how much for that?
The food and experience there is so good. I was not sure if it would be worth it, but once we did it, it was totally worth it and so well done. And our table was also all adults.
Also they totally refilled out Apps. They were all delicious. I don't think we got the hunters pie as meatballs.
We went in March and it was wonderful! The food was fantastic especially the mushroom soup and prime rib and the whole experience and characters were great!
I love your reviews and watch these before I book!!! Would you be able to bring a kid with you to some places and they can give their reviews of the kids menu?? I think that would be cute and helpful too!
I would love to hear your opinions one day on the bison burger at Geyser Point there! I just had it and thought it was phenomenal!!!
What a beautiful video everything looks delicious!! Thank you! ❤
I’ve always wanted to try this restaurant. We have stayed at this hotel for most of our Disney world trips. This was a great honest review.
Honestly they were wrong about asking for seconds. This is one of my favorite places to eat.
Very good work!

Dense Jiggly Texture is the name of my band.

I liked the food here
Hello from Texas! Miss you guys!

So wait...which one was Craig, Grumpy or the evil queen? Lol. Sorry couldn't resist
Hannah and Ryno were wrong.... you can get as much as u want...And I love the meatball, prime rib and mashed potates!!!!! Try it folks, you will love it.
The appetizers were VERY skimpy! The 3 shrimp were tiny.
Other reviews say you can ask for more of the appetizers. If that is so, it helps justify the cost.
I have had great meals and very average meals here. I feel the quality waxes and wanes quite a bit.
I'm a HUGE Dopey fan. Unfortunately, this menu is not for us. That's the reason we haven't tried it yet
We started Snowbirding a couple of years ago. Do you guys ever meetup? 🐸
I went in 2022 and did not enjoy it. The service was sooo slow. Our server disappeared and we didn’t get waters until after we ate our appetizers.

5:23 😳
Ryno was NOT impressed!
We just ate there last week and wasn't impressed with the food. Service & character interaction was good. Probably will never go back.
We did this last week and liked the food and had a good time but were really disappointed because evil Queen was a guy in drag. They also did not have the evil Queen interact, probably because it was a guy in drag which was the right choice for the interaction. Just didn’t expect the Queen to be a guy in drag when it is advertised that you are meeting with her.
The food and entertainment were fine when we were there

I do like the theming at that restaurant, too bad it wasn’t the best. Like this group of reviewers a lot.
It seems to me like these meals are becoming all hat and no cattle at a high price point. Bless you for dining so I don't have to.
Still boycotting this place and hoping they kill the character meal. Artist Point was one of our favorites. Former Disney Archivist and Disney Legend Dave Smith used to say it was his favorite Disney restaurant, and he almost never gave an opinion when asked about his favorite Disney character, movie, etc.
Disney is starting to get ridiculous with their dining prices and mediocre food
i literally just had a dream about this review... are yall psychic?
So disappointing :( But Great review!
Sorry two of you had a terrible expensive experience. My favorite also. Apparently you guys haven't watched any other blogs on this.
I know a couple who had 4 entrees. First prime rib then pork shank. She had o e and the writer said you need to try tge gnocchi.
It's know it is unlimited appetizers and desserts. Also I think a late night reservation is better. Less kids and staff is less stressed.
Sorry.
I had the worst meal I’ve ever had on Disney property at this restaurant but everyone always raves about it. Interested to see how this goes!
It’s ok Rhino doesn’t know what a gastrique is, but when his job is literally to review food, can’t he take 5 seconds to look up what it is rather than telling us he doesn’t know? Pretty juvenile
Worst meal we had the entire week we were there! Loud, bad food, bad service.
None of that food looked good
You are all too harsh
Ryno is kinda becoming a new Sean very negative and just not as fun to watch
Just because he gave his honest opinions on the food, and the experience in general?
Sean was honest. He always saw problems and at Disney they just get worse with the current CEO.
Jaded review. Go eat at McDonalds.
It's a Disney channel.
