New Menu Items to Wow Your Senses
Chefs at Disney Springs spent the past year creating so many unique appetizers, entrees and desserts that you will definitely need more than one visit to enjoy them all.
Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for the upcoming foodie guide because I’ve had a sneak peek and I can say with the firmness of a proper meringue that your appetite will definitely be satisfied.
A Second Chance to Enjoy Returning Favorites
One of the tastiest surprises from last year—the St. Augustine Datil Pepper Fritas—is back for a second round at The Daily Poutine! The crispy pork dish features a datil pepper sauce and Florida hearts of palm slaw. But the beer cheese crafted from Sunshine Stroll Orange Pilsner helps make it truly special.
Sunshine Stroll was introduced during Flavors of Florida last year as a Disney Springs exclusive, and our chefs immediately went to work using it in various dishes like this one. I was thrilled to find out this dish is coming back and can’t wait to see what other creations use the exclusive pilsner this year.
While you’re exploring Disney Springs Flavors of Florida, don’t forget to stop by Swirls on the Water for another returning treat—the Orange Bird Cone! This sublime dessert combines DOLE Whip® Orange in an orange cone, topped with sprinkles and a chocolate piece. It’s a delightfully satisfying sweet worthy of featuring the name of one of my favorite Disney characters.
If there’s a flavor that comes from Florida—peppers, citrus fruit, cheeses and more—you’ll find it at Flavors of Florida. Overall, this year’s event will have more than 90 menu items from 45+ Disney Springs restaurants! So, start planning your date nights, family outings and celebrations, and we’ll see you at Disney Springs this summer.
