Summertime Culinary Celebration Makes it Easy to Enjoy Disney Without a Park Ticket

Orlando locals know there is no shortage of delicious eats around town, but when Disney Springs rolls out Flavors of Florida, it becomes one of the tastiest stops of the summer. Running through August 10, this seasonal event showcases Florida-inspired dishes, drinks and culinary experiences with free admission and no theme park ticket required.


This year, more than 90 limited-time menu items are being served across dozens of restaurants and snack spots throughout Disney Springs. Whether you are looking for a breezy citrus cocktail, a shrimp-forward small plate or a decadent slice of Key lime pie, there is something on the menu for every appetite.


Highlights include offerings from The Edison, Maria and Enzo's and Morimoto Asia, where chefs have infused Florida ingredients into inventive dishes and drinks.
