“Will Not Be Going Back” — The Surprising Problem This Fan Faced at a Chaotic Disney World Restaurant

Some dining experiences at Disney World are super interactive.

For example, there are character meals that allow you to meet multiple characters at once. There are dinner shows like the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue, and there are restaurants like 50s Prime Time Cafe where the Cast Members really get in on the bit. There is one restaurant at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge that is known for its chaotic dining experience and fun Cast Member shenanigans, and that is what we are talking about today!

Whispering Canyon Cafe is an all-you-care-to-enjoy restaurant open for all three meal periods. Cast Members really get into character and interact with guests via various shenanigans. The AllEars cast even coined this restaurant as “Disney World’s Most Embarrassing Restaurant.” You can watch their experience below!

For example, if you ask for ketchup, your server may bring you multiple bottles and draw attention to you. It is all in good fun, but if this kind of experience is not something you are looking for, you may want to dine elsewhere.

Did you know that you can leave reviews on our site for all things Disney World-related, like restaurants, rides, entertainment, hotels, and more? We were scrolling through recent reviews of breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe and came across an interesting review left by one of our readers.

They said, “My wife and I came here because of the shenanigans that they pull. We arrived and got seated but were quickly disappointed when we found out that the shenanigans only happen on certain nights when certain Cast Members are working. It was definitely not worth the amount of money we spent. We will not be going back.” On the bright side, they also commented that their food was good.

It can be super disappointing to come in with high expectations of a restaurant and leave feeling like you missed out. Cast Members are not required to put on the act that is well known at restaurants like this one, so your experience can really vary depending on which Cast Members are working during your dining time.

It is important to note that sometimes dining experiences at Disney World are not always what you may initially think. In the past, we have had team members dine at Whispering Canyon Cafe and were relieved that they had a server who did not go along with the bit.

This can also be the case in some character dining experiences. Sometimes, characters only have enough time to visit your table once; other times, you may get to meet with a character multiple times. The characters follow different rotations depending on their restaurant, so a character may walk right by your table. However, it is not because they are ignoring you; they are simply following the rotation and will eventually make their way to your table.

While it can be super disappointing not to get the dining experience that you hoped for, it does not hurt to ask at the host stand when you check in to be seated in an interactive section. The same goes for requesting a more calm section.
