A hush fills the night air as the sparkling lights in the Enchanted Forest tree branches above begin to change colors and a song begins – “Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work we go” and scenes from Walt Disney’s first feature-length animated film Snow White is brought to life. Grumpy and Dopey – of the Seven Dwarves fame – prance out to the song and children and families clap along as dinner is served at Artist Point.
There’s been a change in the program at Artist Point with the recent addition of “character dining” and a new prix-fixe menu. Guests visiting Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort can now book “Storybook Dining at Artist Point with Snow White” — a delicious, fanciful dinner with table side visits from favorite characters such as Snow White, Dopey, and Grumpy. Make sure to visit The Queen lurking at her lair for a photograph – some say she was once the fairest after all.
Dinner is a prix fixe menu, including shared starters, a choice of individual plated entrees, and ‘sweet spells’ to top off the meal.
Quench your thirst from the list of creative and fun cocktails (and mocktails) and a variety of beers in bottles and on draft. Choose from cocktail options including The Smoking Mirror, The Antidote, the Enchanted Apple, Alchemy, Evil to the Core, and A Brew of Peaches. A wine list with a focus on the most highly rated wines from Oregon and Washington State rounds out the beverage menu. These specialty drinks are extra on top of the prix fixe menu prices.
The Smoking Mirror – rosemary smoke, Johnnie Walker Black whiskey, wildberry and lime.
The Enchanted Apple – Skyy Citrus Vodka, DeKuyper Pucker Sour Apple with white cranberry juice.
Begin with shared appetizers including Hunter’s Pie, Winter Squash Bisque and Wicked Shrimp Cocktail.
