Character dining is one of the most loved and unique experiences of visiting Walt Disney World. While many people pine to eat at Cinderellas Royal Table in the Magic Kingdom, one spot that has been increasing in popularity since it opened is Story Book Dining.
Story Book Dining is considered table dining and is themed after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. You will see characters from Snow White, Disney’s original animated motion picture! You will also experience dining in a beautiful enchanted forest.

It is rare to see any of the Seven Dwarfs or the Evil Queen at the Disney Parks, so this truly is a unique experience! The seven dwarfs typical only show up at special paid events. You may even see Grumpy, Dopey, and Snow White sing the Silly Song together while you are dining at Story Book!

What is the Menu at Story Book Dining at Artist Point?
Story Book Dining is a prixe fixe menu. This means that your table will share appetizers and desserts but you will be able to choose your own entree.
We love that the food at Artist Point is themed to go along with the classic story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The shared appetizers are Wild Mushroom Bisque, Hunters Pie, and Wicked Shrimp Cocktail.
There are several options for your main entree. You may choose from beef stroganoff, a vegetable gnocchi dish, two chicken options, prime rib roast, slow braised pork shank, and “Bashful’s butter poached sustainable fish.”
Dessert includes Miners Treasures (chocolate panna cotta), Poison Apple (dark chocolate apple mousse with a sour center), Fairy Tale Gooseberry Tart (meringue and gooseberry) and The Hunters Gift to the Queen (its a surprise!).
There are three kids entree options – grilled chicken, rib roast, and fish.

Artist Point Atmosphere
Story Book Dining has become a huge hit since it opened in 2018. This is in large part due to the incredible atmosphere. Guests rave about the enchanted forest and how you truly feel like you are in the story.
The lights on the trees glow and sparkle. They will even change colors depending upon who is entering the room!
