Animator's Palate |
Disney’s true colors shine in this imaginative restaurant that regales you with a multimedia show. Animator’s Palate—which serves dinner only—is located on deck 4 aft on the Disney Wonder.
Decor—Entering this large, windowless restaurant is like walking into a black-and-white sketchpad, the walls covered in line drawings of classic Disney characters. Where’s all the color? Just wait! The Wonder received an update in drydock in November 2016, replacing the original technology with new HD video screens, though the overall decor remains.
The Shows—The original Animator’s Palate show was retired during drydock in November 2016, replaced by “Drawn to Magic,” featuring new tech, music, and animation. As each course is served in the sketchbook-themed room, color blooms all about and the drawings come to life, all in time to a wonderful musical score. There's now a second show, “Animation Magic” (on the second rotational visit), which is hosted by Sorcerer Mickey and celebrates Disney animation. Guests are asked to sketch characters before the meal, a music-and-animation “remix” enlivens dinner, and at the end, guest sketches magically come to life on screen.
Dress—Unless the evening is formal, semi-formal/dress-up, or “pirate”, dress is resort casual. Polo and camp shirts are fine, but please don’t wear shorts.
Our Review—Animator’s Palate is a fun place for all ages. The “shows” are breathtaking and food is enjoyable, with Italian or Pacific Rim flavors that will please most palates. When you arrive at your table, try to pick seats with a good view of the video screens on the walls.

PassPorter's Ratings for Animator's Palate
Food was good, but not outstanding. I didn't find the old style animation show impressive really, even though we haven't seen the others yet.

This is a great restaurant but you are left looking at the walls"waiting for something to happen".Are the waiters supposed to do something?
