Something WEIRD Is Happening with Reservations at This Popular Disney Restaurant

September 10, 2025 ,

There might be nothing more magical than sitting down and having dinner when your favorite princess greets you at the table and chats with you for a minute. You get to eat some great food, all while meeting different characters without ever leaving your table.

Dopey!

We love character dining at Disney World, but one of our favorite restaurants is having some scheduling issues right now that you should know about if you’re planning to visit next month.

Disney Vacation Planner

Story Book Dining at Artist Point, located at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, isn’t showing any reservations past October 5th. While all of the dates could be booked out, we find that unlikely, and this might be hinting towards downtime.

Some of our readers have brought this up to our attention, and when we went to check it ourselves, we weren’t able to book past October 5th. We spoke with a Cast Member who mentioned that the dates might have filled up, so we should keep checking back and try same-day reservations.

Appetizers

This could also have been a glitch in the reservation system, as restaurant hours are still posted for those dates. When Disney starts hinting at a closure, temporary or permanent, they usually adjust the times to reflect the changes.

Evil Queen

If Story Book Dining is on your “must do” list, we highly recommend continuing to check for reservations since the system could open more. You can also try same-day reservations, but it might be helpful to have a backup plan in case it is going under a refurbishment. Closer to October 5th, we should hopefully have more answers.

Grumpy!

This restaurant is one of our top character dining spots at Disney World. You get to meet Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy, and the Evil Queen. We find this restaurant is usually a bit calmer than other popular spots like Cinderella’s Royal Table and Chef Mickey’s.

REVIEW: IS STORY BOOK DINING THE BEST CHARACTER MEAL IN DISNEY WORLD?

The whole space is a little darker (but not too dark that you can’t see your food) and lit up with a gorgeous tree with twinkling lights. They offer a prix fixe menu that always has us coming back for more. It can be hard to find a character dining restaurant that offers great food along with a fantastic character experience, but Story Book Dining is usually near the top of our list for it.

The menu

We’ll keep checking back for more updates, but in the meantime, make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more tips and tricks for your next vacation.
