  • Guests can start their storybook adventure with a wickedly refreshing cocktail like the Enchanted Apple with a hint of sour apple. The Royal Prime Rib Roast and the vegetarian A Stroll Through Nature are both returning as well as the decadent “Poison” Apple dessert with dark chocolate-apple mousse.
  • Elsewhere at Walt Disney World, Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside will be serving up their Southern specialties for dinner starting on December 14th. Reservations can be made starting on December 2nd.
