\"Review<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On my recent sailing on the Disney Magic<\/a>, there was one restaurant I was really excited to dine at. And that was Rapunzel’s Royal Table. But I was also really excited to get the opportunity to dine at the Disney Cruise Line<\/a> staple – Animator’s Palate! (It was a close second.) I had, since the Disney Magic started sailing, wanted to dine at the original version of Animator’s Palate<\/a>. I was captivated by the face that the room changed colors right before your very eyes. And while I’ve dined at Animator’s Palate on the Disney Dream<\/a> and the Disney Fantasy<\/a>, I had always felt like they were missing the charm that I had assumed was there with the original version of the restaurant.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you…my assumptions were correct and I really enjoyed Animator’s Palate on the Disney Magic way more than the Dream class ships.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the Disney Magic, Animator’s Palate sets the scene by being mostly in black and white. The artwork on the walls is black and white, the lighting is all white, everything is However, as the night wanes on, color starts splashing up everywhere, much like would occur if an animator actually was painting the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let’s get to the food. As you can see from the menus, there are lots of great options and it was extremely hard to choose!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For my appetizer, I went with the Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes. These were pasta purses that were filled with truffle-scented cheese in a champagne sauce. These were incredible. They were so decadent and rich. I probably could have eaten a few of these as my meal and been happy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next, I decided to get the Butternut Squash Soup. This was a disappointment, to be honest. I thought it was just ok and compared to the appetizer, I would have much rather have gotten another of those.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As far as my main meal went, I went with the Ginger-Teriyaki dusted Angus Beef Tenderloin. This was served with wasabi mashed potatoes, bok choy, and a Tamarind Barbecue Reduction.<\/p>\n

The beef was cooked to perfection and it was certainly a decent size portion. I was a little scared to try to the wasabi mashed potatoes. I don’t like spicy food and well, wasabi is right up there with the spice level. However, this had zero heat to it. I didn’t taste anything, what-so-ever. The rest of the veggies were also fine, but when you’re on a cruise, I mean the star is really the meat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During dinner, that’s when things got fun and the show started! I loved the show with Mickey and thought it was adorable and entertaining! It was everything I had hoped for!<\/p>\n
