I was a chef here at artist point back in 2002, as part of my externship for the Culinary Institute of America. I was so proud of what we served there; themed to the “wilderness” of the Pacific Northwest. Two of my menu contributions were on the menu for quite some time after my departure! I’ll be back for the first time since then this coming September. I’m trying really hard not to go into the experience with a sour mood, but im still quite bitter about the changeover to storybook dining. This was one of the few good “adults are the center of attention” places on all of Disney property.
Took our 9 y/o daughter and 12 y/o son. She adored it, and Grumpy was the only character we were able to get him to pose with all trip. Win-win. The Queen was fantastic. Food is delicious. Absolutely worth the excursion. The Smoking Mirror is tasty and fun. Portions were fine. We still had leftovers, and it was refreshing to not have an epic mountain of food for once.
We ate here on a whim one year and absolutely fell in love with it! The food was delicious, the characters were wonderful, that Evil Queen was absolutely hilarious. Would definitely eat here again and highly recommend it
I am so glad I stumbled on this video! I had to check if I could make a reservation right away! The theming and characters are so up my alley! It just looks so awesome and makes me so excited for my trip! Thanks for the video!
We had dinner here the first day we arrived at the Wilderness Lodge for our vacation and it really set the tone for the rest of our trip. I think it was worth every penny 🤗
I was trying to resist watching this one because I have a reservation here in less than a month that I’ve been HIGHLY anticipating. I didn’t want to spoil it for myself, but I couldn’t resist, and this video just made me even more excited!!!
I was at this restaurant just last week and yes the appetizers did very slightly. We happened to visit a good majority of the character meals but this one by far was our favourite! The atmosphere and the food was definitely 10/10!
We just ate there last week. Prime rib is fantastic, and character's were great. Also, they dont tell you, but it's all you can eat. Whatever you would like more of, just tell them and they will bring more. Great restaurant!!
We LOVE this location. We got to have dinner here in 2019 and my then 4 year old loved it so much it is one of 2 places she requests to eat now; the other is brunch at Trattoria. WL is our home resort for DVC, which makes this spot my husband's favorite; no travel.
We ate there in 2019 and just loved it! The interactions with the characters were so fun. The Queen (she doesn't like to be called the Evil Queen) was very "in character" and had everyone follow proper etiquette before meeting her. She had to invite you to stand by her you couldn't just walk up to her. Even my 20-something daughter felt intimidated a bit.
From other Disney World channels, it seems that this restaurant is "all you care to enjoy" (all you can eat, essentially). You can request more of anything says Paging Mr. Morrow and other channels. Not sure if true still!
We are counting down the days to return to Disney, AJ your videos and advice and tips are honestly a life saver. We are excited to try Storybook Dinning, and a few other character meals.
my sister and i ate here in 2019 and we had so much fun. meeting cindy, the dwrafs and the evil queen was a highlight. And the food was presented in a fun way and tasted good. we'll go back to this one again.
Do little ones still have an opportunity to dance at this dinner event? My toddler granddaughter loves Snow White and loves to dance! Hope she has the opportunity. Looks like so much fun! Thanks AJ again for a wonderful introduction to fun at WDW.
I’m hoping to be able to snag a reservation this fall. The last time we ate here was pre Covid when you had 180 days out. It took me 4 months of checking everyday to get an ADR.
Ahhhhhhh! I've been UPSETS with your videos for a long time now, my family is playing a Disney world trip in September and your videos have just made it 1000X easer so thank youuu!
Ugggh we ate here last month and it was our most expensive meal of the trip, coming in at over $400 for 3 adults and 3 kids (and no fancy cocktails!) It was also my worst meal of the trip. My herb chicken was like rubber- completely inedible. We also did not get that cool box of chocolates at the end for dessert which was disappointing. The characters were top notch, and the atmosphere and overall experience was absolutely wonderful, but it was a one and done for us unfortunately because it was way overpriced for the quality and quantity of food, even for Disney.
This dining experience would have been fun when my daughter was little. We have never dined here, although it looks cute and fun. We have done chef mickeys, crystal palace, and 1900 park fair.
Really miss the previous version of Artist Point -- it was great! And much as I like Snow White, I will likely not go in its current format. Reason: There are plenty of character meals in more accessible locations if I want that.
At Disneyland, the Star Wars Cantina is a 60 reservation. My question is that is not enough? On the day of the trip, you must wake up at 5am to get a second reservation? Should you just consider doing that for every themed restaurant? If you have not been to Disney for more than 10 years do your research, it has changed a LOT! Get both Apps the Land & world apps if in Florida. Peace & have fun!
We are planning to experience this for the 1st time this summer and my 6 year old daughter LOVES the Evil Queen ❤️ I’m just wondering how long does this character dinner experience last for? Great review! Simply cannot wait 🥰
@@kristenburt7055 right...my son don't eat none of that stuff either every time we go to the restaurant all he get is chicken tenders / chicken nuggets and Fries he don't even eat dessert😫
I thought this restaurant was fun but the food was just ok, not worth the inconvenience of this restaurant’s location and the difficulty of obtaining this reservation. It ended up being a huge hassle to get from the parks to wilderness lodge and then back to our hotel. We were totally exhausted and the kids were just spent since we had to book this for our last day bc it’s such a difficult reservation to get. Only way I would eat here again is if I was actually staying at WL. Unfortunately, One and done for us.
I wonder how much this costs after the price increase in the world ; / 200$ lately... legit NOT too bad. (Sadly) afraid it would be ALOT more in 6/ w.e/ 2022
Just went on 10/26/24. Food was good. The entire experience was a rush. Must say the characters were fun. But still would not recommend it based on price and overall rushed experience.
We had the worst service ever by a server called “ Gypsie” . We never even received the treasure box. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged us.
I ate here in 2019 and had an amazing experience. The food was top notch and the character interaction was incredible! Yet, I went there recently for the first time since the reopening and had the exact opposite feeling. The food quality is way down. The chicken was dry, my brothers meat was way undercooked, and the cocktails were not made correctly (major strong alcohol taste). Also the desserts were not the same they were before. The hunters gift to the queen still came in the box but only contained chocolates this time. The presentation is cool but very disappointing. In my opinion, save your money and dine at the much better options all across property. Hopefully this is a temporary set back because this was an incredible experience once.
I just went here on my trip last week. It’s so pretty inside & the characters were very cool (especially the evil queen!); but….this is a one & done for my family. The appetizers were the best part of this meal. The soup was the absolute best but we didn’t care for the entrees or the dessert. The desserts were pretty but nothing great. We didn’t get the Carmel corn & the chocolates were just a solid piece of chocolate & all the same. (Not different chocolates like in your vid.) That being said, the appetizers & characters don’t warrant a trip back here for us. The meal was a let down & disappointing considering how much this meal costs! (6 adults 😕). We had an awesome dinner at Ohana. No characters; but don’t mind the cost as much when the meal is well worth it!
We ate there lately I didn't understand the hype about it yes food is good the we felt so rushed to eat and leave I was expecting a little interaction between snow with and evil queen nothing just caractor passing are server was annoying we felt like for the money it cost its a disney trap I don't mind paying but please don't make me feel like a number
My 18 yr old daughter and I dined here on our arrival day (a Monday in May). We Ubered from All Star movies. Wilderness Lodge took my breath away, beautiful! Restaurant is also beautiful! Apps and desert- not impressed. Our entree was great! Characters were amazing and Snow White got me emotional! Dopey spent soooo much time at our table. My cons- our meal felt so rushed. Apps, meal, was all thrown at us so quickly and servers were visibly in a hurry. I felt so rushed. The manager was so loud while “managing” felt like an airport with “when you finish your meal go stand there…. Now stand here… next party”. Again - felt so rushed especially for the price. One and done for me, just wish the manager didn’t over shadow our character experience.
Went to Hollywood Studios and Magic kingdom this week and besides the horrible stay at reunion resorts it was the worst experience and waste of money ive ever experienced in my whole life and this is my 15th time visiting disney. Worst service, worst lines ever, and don’t get me started on that god awful genie plus fast track service. Our Universal park experience was the exact opposite. Fun, easy, great people working there and it was so much fun I’m taking my wife and 3 boys back tomorrow.

How was you visit in September

Yep. In March I can book dinning. Fingers crossed I can get it for 2 of us!

We had Christmas Eve here in 2019 and it was Enchanting! The Queen was amazing!
I was at this restaurant just last week and yes the appetizers did very slightly. We happened to visit a good majority of the character meals but this one by far was our favourite! The atmosphere and the food was definitely 10/10!
That's good to hear. We booked it for August (wife loves snow white) and I'm glad it's worth it!

AJ’s daily Disney Food vlog is like Magic story with so much important detail on Dining at Disney!! Woo Hoo!
We are counting down the days to return to Disney, AJ your videos and advice and tips are honestly a life saver. We are excited to try Storybook Dinning, and a few other character meals.
Anyone planning on going, please know it’s all you can eat. They will bring you more apps. I’m pretty sure you can get another entree too….
We enjoyed an incredible dinner here pre-COVID. We hope to go back again next year. We are definitely hoping the dining plan returns soon!
my sister and i ate here in 2019 and we had so much fun. meeting cindy, the dwrafs and the evil queen was a highlight. And the food was presented in a fun way and tasted good. we'll go back to this one again.
Absolutely love all of your vlogs !! They are soo informative and enjoyable to watch !! Thanks !!!
Do little ones still have an opportunity to dance at this dinner event? My toddler granddaughter loves Snow White and loves to dance! Hope she has the opportunity. Looks like so much fun! Thanks AJ again for a wonderful introduction to fun at WDW.
We've booked this for our final night of our trip and we're SO excited
I’m hoping to be able to snag a reservation this fall. The last time we ate here was pre Covid when you had 180 days out. It took me 4 months of checking everyday to get an ADR.
Have you been to Ruth’s Chris lately? It cost us $300 for a family of 4 and that was without alcohol. And no characters other than our waiter.
Ahhhhhhh! I've been UPSETS with your videos for a long time now, my family is playing a Disney world trip in September and your videos have just made it 1000X easer so thank youuu!
Did you mean obsessed and not upset?
I managed to get a reservation here when we go in August. I am very excited.
We are staying at Wilderness Lodge July 10th. Thank you so much for these amazing tips.

Interesting.
Did you ask them to fix the chicken? It about the box? I suspect they would have made it right
These are the videos I remember when I stated watching several years ago!
We booked a dinner there for our august vacation! Excited to check it out (and also walk around the hotel for a minute)
Excellent, as always!
I can't wait to go! I finally snagged a reservation for October
We loved our experience there a few months ago! The character interactions were SO fun and I loved the themed food. But I'm a sucker for theming.
My wife and I went last November, really enjoyed it, we'll do this again :).
This dining experience would have been fun when my daughter was little. We have never dined here, although it looks cute and fun. We have done chef mickeys, crystal palace, and 1900 park fair.
Question, do Disney CC holders get 10% off here?
Surprised & delighted at hearing both my hobbies collide with a mtg reference drop in a Dfb video 😂🤣 Love it!
Where can you get the tickets for Disney World
Did it repeat “when it comes to your table” around 7:30
We’re at Disney now and looking forward to the experience with Snow White.
Really miss the previous version of Artist Point -- it was great! And much as I like Snow White, I will likely not go in its current format. Reason: There are plenty of character meals in more accessible locations if I want that.

Get both Apps the Land & world apps if in Florida. Peace & have fun!
We will be there in about 2 weeks! This makes me more excited!
Any word on 1900 Park Faire opening? Thanks
We were just at Disney in May and we tried our hardest to get an reservations. 😔
We are planning to experience this for the 1st time this summer and my 6 year old daughter LOVES the Evil Queen ❤️ I’m just wondering how long does this character dinner experience last for? Great review! Simply cannot wait 🥰
13:36 Is that Phyllis?
I wants to try the Snow White restaurant all I wants to know do they have chicken tenders and Fries for the kids because I got picky eaters
I want to know if there's anything more picky kid friendly as well. My daughter won't eat grilled chicken, fish or prime rib.
@@kristenburt7055 right...my son don't eat none of that stuff either every time we go to the restaurant all he get is chicken tenders / chicken nuggets and Fries he don't even eat dessert😫
@@kawanaworld1981 haha I used to be that kid. Just the chicken tenders, no fries and no sauce. Good times lol.
Looks Good!! 😍😍😍
Fun fact: Before Storybook Dining, Artist Point offered breakfast with Pocahontas and later Winnie the Pooh (who you can dine with at Crystal Palace)
Could you update this review please?
Can non resort guests make a reservation here?
Yes!
Really hoping to go here for the first time in October :)
Aj.. did you come up with the “Heigh-Ho, Heigh-tail’it out of this restaurant” bit? 😂
Your momness is totally showing. ;)
-A fellow mom
I’m already looking forward to it.
Hey, AJ, do you know if Mickey’s barbecue at Fort Wilderness will come back?
For me this comes down to whether you consider “Cinderella’s Royal Table but not Cinderella’s Royal Table” is a pro or a con.
I thought this restaurant was fun but the food was just ok, not worth the inconvenience of this restaurant’s location and the difficulty of obtaining this reservation.

Disney is great !!!
It’s certainly had its ups. Then again it’s certainly had its downs. More downs in the last few years… it’s still a fun place to be in tho
I wonder how much this costs after the price increase in the world ; / 200$ lately... legit NOT too bad. (Sadly) afraid it would be ALOT more in 6/ w.e/ 2022
Is alcohol still included in the price?
No
Aj’s back yeah
Those looks nice 🥰
Just went on 10/26/24. Food was good. The entire experience was a rush. Must say the characters were fun. But still would not recommend it based on price and overall rushed experience.
It's raining right now 😞
We had the worst service ever by a server called “ Gypsie” . We never even received the treasure box. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged us.
Sounds delicious
Yessss love it
The characters in the mascot type costumes freak me out
My 10 year old is a vegetarian. Can she just order sides?

Worst character dining experience we have ever done.
Tip: don't dine here if you don't like character dining. 🤣🤔
Good for you for saying feed 2 birds with one scone. It's what vegans are taught to say
