The Artist’s Palette!

This spot serves as a quick service restaurant as well as a convenience store and shopping area for the resort!

A look inside!

There’s a lot of seating inside and simple art to bring the room to life. It also has tall ceilings, and the sound tends to carry in this spot.

When it comes to ordering, you can mobile order or order at the counters.

But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?!

If you’re heading to the parks or packing a picnic lunch, you can grab some larger groceries as well.

And now, onto the main event — the food!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Avocado Toast with Chips for $10.99! This is made with avocado, cherry tomatoes, radish, Pickled red onions, arugula, and “aïoli” on toasted sunflower bread, and it’s served with a side of Saratoga Chips. (Just noting, Disney has aïoli in quotations on its website but doesn’t detail why.)

The avocado toast!

This is served all day long. The bread itself was pretty soggy, so we don’t think we would call it toasted. Luckily, that’s the end of our complaints because the rest of the item was super fresh and reminded us of a garden.

A closer look!

It has a lot of arugula, and the red onion offers a great bite. Everything pairs well with the avocado, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for some vegetables. We also enjoyed the housemade chips thanks to their crunch and seasonings.

The Avocado Toast!

Next, we grabbed the Hot Italian Panini for $13.49. This came with a side of tomato soup that we found pretty thin and lumpy (which, hey, some people might enjoy!)

The panini!

The panini itself was amazing! It had a strong pepperoni and meat flavor, but the sweet and spicy relish balanced it well with a bit of a kick. The cheese was mild and very light on flavor.

A closer look!

The bread was amazing and crispy, which made the entire thing even better. We would happily get this again!

We also wanted to grab a little something sweet, so we started with the Hole in One for $5.99! It’s made with a fudgy brownie filled with caramel sauce and pecans, topped with vanilla cheesecake.

The Hole in One!

The brownie itself was pretty dry and didn’t offer a ton of flavor. The chocolate isn’t super sweet, and it’s a cakey texture. The caramel and nuts inside offer a nice subtle addition.

The inside!

The cheesecake was light and fluffy and lightly sweetened. The design was very cute, but that might be the best thing about this one. Finally, we grabbed the Bullseye Cupcake for $6.79.

Bullseye Cupcake

This one is made with a chocolate cupcake filled with peanut butter mousse and topped with chocolate and peanut butter buttercream with a Bullseye white chocolate coin. The frosting was very light, almost like whipped cream.

Inside the cupcake

The cupcake was a bit dry, but it did have a nice level of chocolate flavor and that amazing peanut butter filling to help it out. It was rich, creamy, and lightly chilled, which was amazing on a hot day.

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

  • You’re staying at this resort
  • You need a post-golf lunch
  • Or you love a Toy Story-themed dessert!

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

  • You want a fancy meal
  • You’re looking for adventurous flavors
  • Or you would have to go out of your way to get there

Overall

Overall, this is a pretty solid, especially if you’re staying at this resort! It offers more variety than typical theme park fare, but it won’t give you any life-changing experiences.
