We recently dined at Walt’s during our honeymoon at Disneyland Paris, hoping to end our trip on a special note. Given its reputation as one of the park’s iconic table service restaurants—named after Walt Disney himself—we had high hopes. Unfortunately, it was far from the magical experience we expected.
We had an 8:15 PM reservation, which was oddly canceled while we were on our way there. Confused, we decided to stop by anyway, and they told us to wait. We were seated about 15 minutes later, which wasn’t a big issue, but things went steadily downhill from there.
Our server took about 10 minutes to greet us. I ordered the signature Shirley Temple, and my husband requested coffee, a cola with his main course, and tap water for the table. For my 3-course meal, I ordered the chicken pot pie, chicken, and was really looking forward to the lemon tart—only to be told it was unavailable, so I reluctantly went with the mille-feuille. My husband chose the same starter, the chili, and the cookie for dessert.
Drinks were served shortly after—coffee and cola came together (despite the cola being requested with the main) and my Shirley Temple arrived. But no water. We asked again when the appetizer arrived. Our server acknowledged the request, but never brought it—only returned to clear our plates. We asked again when the main course was served. Still nothing.
Meanwhile, we noticed the table seated after us had to flag down another server just to get olive oil, and she apologized on our waiter’s behalf. We quickly asked her for water as well—she never returned either.
When dessert arrived, we asked once again for water. That’s when our server told us they were "out of water" and suggested we purchase bottled water. I was stunned. I even asked, “You’re out of tap water?” She said yes, quietly apologized, and left the room. We—and the nearby table—were visibly shocked.
At that point, I didn’t even want my dessert anymore, which says a lot because I always finish dessert. Eventually, she returned with a pitcher of tap water... during dessert. The moment was ruined.
We left disappointed, and honestly heartbroken. What was supposed to be a special, celebratory dinner turned into an awkward, frustrating evening. Poor communication, dismissive service, and a baffling lack of basic hospitality (like water!) made the meal feel like an afterthought.
For a restaurant that’s supposed to embody Disney heritage and hospitality, Walt’s was a complete failure. Poor service, lack of care, and a surreal moment where we were told the restaurant had “run out” of water just left us feeling ignored and disappointed.
Honestly, I believe even Walt Disney would’ve been disappointed by the service that bears his name.
This restaurant has the potential to be something great—it’s beautifully designed and steeped in history—but sadly, it failed us when it...
Read moreYou’re at Disneyland, so let’s start with realistic expectations: this is not the place for haute cuisine or Michelin-starred gastronomy. That said, within the context of a theme park, the dining experience here is actually quite respectable.
For around €55, the menu offers fair value. The food is decent , not extraordinary, but well-prepared and enjoyable enough, especially when compared to the more fast-food-style options available throughout the park. What truly sets this restaurant apart, though, is its peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of the few spots in the park where you can sit down, breathe, and enjoy a quiet moment away from the crowds. It really helps you unwind and recharge during what can be a very intense day of walking, queuing, and overstimulation.
Now, onto the service , which is where there’s a bit more to say. This restaurant is meant to be the “luxury” option within Disneyland Paris, and there’s clearly an effort to create a refined, immersive ambiance. The servers are dressed in period costumes, which is a nice touch. However, some of the details fall short. For example, having waitresses in elegant, old-fashioned dresses but wearing modern black Nike sneakers really breaks the illusion. It might seem like a minor detail, but when you’re in a place that talks so much about “magic” and immersion, those details matter. It slightly disrupts the experience and makes the whole concept feel a bit less polished.
That being said, these are small issues in an otherwise enjoyable experience. I still recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re looking for a more relaxed, sit-down meal during your day at the park. Just make sure to book in advance, as availability can be limited, especially during...
Read moreOn Main Street USA, this restaurant ticks all the boxes for ambience , decorated with Walt Disney photographs and memorabilia. Service is passable but not outstanding.
However the menu is poorly curated and masquerades as a fine dining menu with wine pairings. On closer inspection food offerings are rather limited and descriptions of the options vague - 'fish' and 'pasta' , with staff unable to offer further details in English.
'Pasta' turned out to be gnocchi. Although served in a decent porcini sauce the floury balls are not everyone's cup of tea and certainly should not be served in an oversized serving with a sauce as delicate as this, and with a medley of poached vegetables served on top.
Although the 'fish' was well cooked (pan fried to a crisp on one side) the serving was a little large , with risotto and vegetables served on the side.
Again (like the major disappointment that is Bistrot chez Remy ) service was at times a little lacklustre - tables surrounding us were left uncleared for long periods of time, bread was served and butter offered only later on as an afterthought .
With prices starting from €39.99 for a two course meal this place may be a little overpriced for its offerings. While it's ambience may make a walk through the restaurant worth your time , the menu and service could use a little work. In a fancier restaurant the waiter should probably probe a little if you've left more than half your food behind , but no interest was taken here.
Disappointing - but having tried Remy's Bistro and having had most of the food outlets in Disneyland park closed during our three day visit (presumably because it wasn't a peak season) we are not sure Paris Disney has anything better to offer in...
