New for this year, leaders are adding two all-new themed areas: “For the Love of Florida” and the “Rosé Room.”
“For the Love of Florida” will celebrate the local cuisine and ingredients in dishes like the Seminole pumpkin fry bread, grilled Florida oysters and butter poached bay scallops. Meantime, over in the “Rosé Room,” guests will find dishes including red Chile chicken tacos, smoked American lamb and a Tonnarelli pasta.
Some returning fan favorite dishes include the Dragon Rolls, Roasted Linz heritage black angus beef tenderloin and a triple chocolate cherry ring flambé.
Tasting booths for the event will be located along the resort’s causeway, private lake and beach. Leaders said the food and drinks will be served from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The resort said the hands-on interactive seminars taught by members of the resort’s award-winning food and beverage team are also making a return. This year’s classes include craft cocktails, wine blending, pasta making and many more.
Tickets and VIP experiences for the event are now on sale.
General admission tickets start at $185 per person.
Because this year’s event falls over Veterans Day, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin has partnered with the charity Friends of Fisher House Orlando, who will receive a charitable contribution from the event. Orlando Fisher House provides free accommodations for military and veteran families while a loved one is receiving medical treatment.
